GOD...GOD...THAT...I....ARGH.

GO jack off with your Bible to someone who cares, woman! Which, incidentally, is no one on this journal.

And yes, obviously we're all spoiled and not spanked enough. I'll have to go back in time and inform dear mum to swing the belt harder, obviously she didn't make a big enough imprint.

And I am suddenly, viciously reminded of what would happen should my mom have found my lj while she was still alive. I got in enough trouble growing up as it was for reading and writing the gay pornz. (The little family "discussion" - which pretty much is summed up by "This is a sin, so stop it or you're going to hell", love you too Mom - was like, epic lulz.)

And I apologize, but if I ever meet that woman in real life, someone please remind me to be civil, lest I forget myself and shove a Bible down her throat so she can feel the sensation I get every time I read one of her comments! Mmn, holy writ, it's magically delicious and tastes like newsprint and hypocrisy.

It was like watching a trainwreck of my attempts at reasoning with my own mother, only with...a more laid-back attitude and less of the yelling. A lot less of the yelling. (I got my own fire-and-brimstone Bible-beating preacher at home! I was such a balanced child growing up.)

.....

I am filled with the unholy urge to simply bite the woman and be done with it. preferably in the neck, so I can at leats take out the vocal cords.

I held myself back SO MUCH DX In fact this was going to be the response to her FIRST comment:

"Ya, ok, I need to say something to this, I'm sorry. First) Parents get respect when they deserve respect. I'm not saying you don't! I know Jeva loves both of you very much, she's said so herself many times. However, there are situations in which your child will be right, and just because you don't agree? Doesn't mean she's disrespecting you or that you have the right to 'correct' her. There's nothing 'wrong' with her for having a differing opinion. I didn't see that she did/said anything wrong besides saying she was purely free will and recounting things in her past. We all do so, for most of us, writing is a way to stay SANE due to life and what it's brought with it. Also, some parent's really DON'T deserve respect because they do not know how to take care of a child. There are parents who beat their child, parents who emotionally abuse their child, parents who don't care for or respect their child and give reason to EARN that respect FROM their child. Just sayin'.

Second) Our country is not Christian law. It never was, and I hope it never is. If I remember correctly? Most of the founding fathers were deists. They did NOT want the church and state to be one. Quite the opposite, they wanted them to be SEPERATE. They didn't want the church ruling our lives, they wanted this country to be free for ALL. No matter what religion one had, they would be welcomed because it would not be ruled by just ONE.

Third) Just because one is Christian does not give one the right to out right criticize someone for not doing any harm to anyone. If a man wants to love and sleep with a man HE MAY DO SO, because they are human. Because they can love, laugh, cry, etc. like anyone else can. Because they want to be HAPPY and treated equally. All Men Are Created Equal, no matter what they believe or do not believe, no matter whom they love or have sex with, no matter what their skin color may be. We all have the same organs, the same senses, the same necessities in life. Criticizing, reprimending, or repressing because of that? I don't think that's right at all :|"

But I decided Jeva didn't need more added to it so, ya ;;b I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THOUGH for saying everything I wanted to say to her. I am so grateful that my mom is open-minded and doesn't care that I'm an atheist. I admire Jeva so much for having to put up with those things and... ya *deep breath* *exhales* I-I'm good now ;;b

From:

*hugs* Let it out. You're among friends here. And if anyone argues with me I will smite them with my powers. OF EVIL. ~~IN AMERICA.~~

My parents didn't spank me very often. Meanwhile, a friend of mine was a victim of abuse. Another was raped as a child. And yet we all turned out remarkably similar and fairly well-adjusted. Fancy that, eh?

We love you dearly. Remember that :D

ETA: Also, there is nothing wrong with ghey pr0nz. Remember that also \o/

Stop suddenly when there are no other cars in front of you!

From:

Umm.. well. I can see her point only because I understand how 'open-minded' conservatives think. Even questioning them and not taking the stories as answers can be taking as insulting and belittling the knowledge they share. While we may find it offensive that they can't answer straight, they find it offensive and baffling that you don't take their answer into consideration. It's all a rather baffling affair.

I...I...

IT'S PEOPLE LIKE THAT THAT MAKE ME WANT TO EAT BIBLES. SERIOUSLY, I WANT TO FRY THE THINGS FOR LUNCH AND DANCE ON THEIR ASHES IN BLISSFUL BLASPHEMY. PEOPLE WILL CRY AND WAIL ABOUT MY SIN AND WILL LAUGH IN PURE GLEE.

Note to any cool people: If you are Christian, that's fine.

Just don't shove it down anyone's throat, or dismiss anyone else's beliefs. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY AND GOOD BY ANYONE'S LAW, PLEASE DON'T.

I feel like biting still. D:

From:

See and there's where the misinterpretation comes into play. I'm guessing Jeva's mom came from the generation where you just OBEY your parents for no other reason than to just OBEY them because that's what their interpretation of the bible is etc etc. and so finds it offensive when they are not OBEYED. .. I say it's the changing times for the best.

From:

I actually held myself back yesterday because I was asked to, and because I have a great deal of respect for Jeva. And I am going to apologize to her when she gets back online. I didn't want to cause her trouble, but I could NOT sit there and watch that woman say those things without opposition.

And I love your points--particularly your third one. It's something that baffles me about a lot of hard-core Christians. The Bible does not say "Love thy white neighbor" or "Love thy straight neighbor." It says "Love thy neighbor."

My parents didn't spank me very often. They disciplined in other ways, and look at me--I've graduated from college with a 3.69 GPA, I'm squeaky-clean, and I'm a teacher, a very respectable profession. I'm not perfect, but I think I turned out pretty well.

*glomps* Thanks, hon~ I consider myself agnostic--I have way too many issues with organized religion to call myself much of anything else, and I do believe in a higher power. Power to you and your beliefs, lady! *high-fives*

I know she does, however, my mom did too. She had 11 brothers and sisters and a dad so strict he would beat her with a belt if she so much as got the wrong kind of alkazeltzer (sp? That thing for upset stomachs where you put it in water and it bubbles and disolves) from the store. Yet, she respects our opinions even if they differ from hers. She respects the fact that I am not catholic and do not believe in god, etc. etc. etc. I don't think that's a very good excuse. But ya. I dunno 8(

*cuddles and hugs* Puppy! ♥~~

From:

One of my dear friends here on LJ dreams of being a nun. She is a die-hard Catholic. She and I discuss religion frequently and with great enthusiasm. I have absolutely no problem with conservative religion, and actually have great respect for people who have such beliefs. It's when they start thumping the Bible at me and expecting me to accept it without question that I get annoyed.

And regardless of how offended she was, it doesn't excuse her calling a complete stranger names like that. Especially when I was going out of my way to be as polite as possible (no matter how mad I was) in asking her to explain her statements because I felt they were contradicting themselves. There is NO excuse for that, especially from a grown woman who should know better. And she accused me of being rude.

From:

Yah. Same here. My parents were raised under 'the rod' and they pretty much decided they'd never do that whole 'obey-and-not-question' thing because it's human nature to question, unless you're like me and enjoy taking orders from others. XD; We got spanked but only if we did really bad, and only slapped in the face if we badmouthed mom to her face.

At least all of this is off my LJ.

Can I just say that my mother isn't always like this? Sometimes she is reasonable. But she... I dunno. My dad tells me that she doesn't remember some things. Like... she will see a movie with me in the theaters. And when it comes out on DVD and watch it with her... she really can't remember ever going to the theaters to see it at all.

And... well, I dunno...

I'm used to it? *shrugs helplessly*

From:

*hugs?*

From:

It's ok. *huuug~* I know what you mean. My nanna (mom's mom) is the same way. She'll recall stuff that 'other people' have said, but won't realize that it was she who was saying such rude and condescending things... I don't like you getting 'used to it' though?

From:

But a lot of our generation's parents came from that generation. And my parents didn't behave like that towards me. I don't know many parents who did. My parents earned my respect. As a teacher, I am trying to earn my students' respect.

...I think I just lost my point somewhere xP But yes, changing for the better.

From:

My mom was the youngest of five, and they were all raised Catholic. But I don't think Grandma or Grandpa ever laid a hand on any of them. I can't picture either of them doing that... D:
