rant; because I need to get this off my chest.

[NOAH DALLAS TURNER]

I guess I've never done a rant thread like this before, and I promise that I am not trying to offend anyone or anything in it, just don't take it the wrong way if you're religious? This is just a warning that if I say something you don't like, it's not on purpose.

So, I have a friend, and to her, religion is the biggest thing in the world. Since she found a boyfriend who was into all these church groups, and stuff, she has been a Christian. We have been best friends since year eight (we were 13), and she has had God for a year or so. I have always been okay that she was, I have never said one bad word to her about it, never said that I don't like it that she has her faith. We've had a few conversations that we disagreed on. She takes the bible word for word, she is very literal in everything that the church and the Bible teaches. She is against homosexuality and stuff like that, while I'm not, and it never seemed to be an issue until now.

I lent her the first season of Supernatural earlier (I know, it sounds crazy that it starts with a TV show) but I did, and she watched the first episode, and she loved it so so much! She was like, it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen, and got goose bumps and stuff like that. The she comes and tells me that her friend said that the show is not good. That it would take her away from her morals and from her path of being a Christian. She said she has to listen to her friend because they're faith sisters, and if she says it's bad, she won't watch it. Of course, I can't make her watch anything, and I didn't. I just didn't understand why entertainment, why watching a show would be bad. That's when it all started going down hill.

We have been best friends for six years, and she says to me that if she had to choose her relationship with God over the one with me, she would always, without a doubt choose God. Then she tells me that we clash, just because I don't believe in the things that she does. She says that being a good Christian is helping non Christians along the right path. I said that maybe it's not for me, and she kept saying that God is the right path for everyone, that we don't have much in common anymore. I made the mistake of telling her that I believe it is not all about God. She got mad, saying that it was, and I told her I understand that to her it is. She just can't understand that it is not to me. She can's accept that I don't want to go deeper into her faith, and I don't find that fair. I feel like she is trying to shove her religion down my throat, and if I don't agree we can't be friends.

I have always been accepting of people's faiths, but I also defend my views. When she kept saying that homosexuality was disgusting, wrong, an abomination and other highly homophobic things, I stuck to it that I felt that it was right. That not all Christian's think it is wrong. She follows Christ, reads the bible and everything. She can if she wants to, but I don't understand why we cannot be friends because of that? Because I don't understand her thoughts when she talks about God, I'm suddenly leading her off the right path. I wish she could just accept the fact that not everyone has faith like her, that I'm allowed my own thoughts and opinions on the subject, I just don't like being made to feel inferior because she won't accept me as someone who isn't a proper Christian.

So yeah, I just got really angry about that, and I feel like our friendship may not last a very long time any more, if our views are clashing so much. I love her, but I expect to be able to have my own opinions. I am just hurt that six years of being best friends will be gone down the drain, you know?

Dumb bitch doesn't understand It's super unfortunate that people change </3 I don't mind religious people at all either, but I do mind them when they try to cram it down others throats. If you want to belief in God, that's awesome! Power to you! Wonderful for believing in what you believe, but when they do stuff like that? Just because they do doesn't mean YOU have to. Ugh, that's so frustrating. I'm sorry Jur. WE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN LIKE THAT WE'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU <33333

[TRACE ZACHARY LEWIS]

whoa this bitch sounds dumb. first off you respect all of her views, so why the fuck can't she? not a good friend if she can't respect what you believe in. religion shouldn't even be all up in your friendship anyways. just tell her to fuck off if she feels that way. and honestly, you're a sick person if you believe two people of the same gender can't love eachother or you think it's immoral. her face is fucking immoral. just ignore the shit out of her because she sounds like a wanker. yes i used british slang boom in yo face. i will fly to england and punch that girl in the boob. i hate when christians are like that. that is the worst kind, seriously. but honestly if she cant support how you feel then screw her. you're perfect in every way<3333 JUST STAY FAB AND TELL DAT BITCH TO GO SOMEWHUR

[JURATE]

Thanks guys! I love you! And then she asks why I don't speak to her for days at a time haha, anyway, this'll die down soon I hope, but yeah! <33

[ardenbryant]

if i may admit, i'm also a christian, like your friend. but in my opinion, she's not really being a very good one.
it may be that i'm more liberal in my faith, but i really don't think she should be acting this way towards you at all. if she follows the Bible as much as she says she does, then she shouldn't be judging you if you're not. (dude, the Bible even says don't judge.)

but yeah. being a 'die hard' christian myself, i'm finding her to be quite nasty to you about christianity. she's kinda making the rest of us look bad.
anyway, i hope it works out for you guys!

[ASHTON LUCAS RHODES]

No, I don't have a bad opinion on all very religious people, it's just some people that need to understand a boundary. Not that that's for me to decide. I'm getting over this though, so it's fine. Thanks guys, I love you!
