I got this online..not my personal story OK, so the other day we took a trip to Target, to do some shopping. My daughter was in a pretty good mood and talking her little 3 year old butt off. Well, she was sitting in the cart, eating popcorn and drinking some soda (yes, I gave the girl a bit of soda, bite me). I left her in the cart while I was looking at some clothes (I wasn't far away, just on the other side of the clothes). This lady came up to her and says "You're being a good little girl aren't you?." Now, my kids, well, they aren't you're usual kids. My daughter replies (I really don't know why) with, "My mommy said I'm a devil." The lady quickly turned from you're so sweet to OMFG! She said to my daughter, "Your mother would never say that!" I was listening to the whole thing and thought, well I guess it's about time I step in. LOL! So I said, "I didn't call you a devil, I said you're a demon." She flipped out and said "No you're not, you're a child of GOD!" I'm sorry but that was just so funny. That was about the time I moved my child away from the woman and she started to walk away, looking at me sideways. My daughter, being use to me calling her a demon (we joke around a lot) said, "Mommy, I'm not a demon, you are." So I said, "I gave birth to you so I'd have to be a demon too if you are, right?" She said, "Yes!" Then she started saying she was a mermaid. Why? Well, because demons are just as real as mermaids and she knows it even at three. But I think we really gave that woman a scare, she was freaked out. Some people take words like devil and demon way too seriously. What if I would have said my daughter was a fairy? I doubt she would have reacted the same way. Although, I'm willing to bet she would have still gotten a bit angry if I called my daughter a witch. Either way, I'm so glad my children are free from this limited way of thinking. To be afraid of such things is like living in a box.
... and be forced to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life neways, i always wanted to slip some mdma into a church service. twenty minutes in the preacher would be all like :"And jesus said unto his disciples: just be good man, be nice, y'know, that's what it's all about, really, you know the whole god thing is just love, love everyone, has my face always felt this funnY?" and then s/he'd start hugging everyone, and the organist would start pumping out the techno, while the choir boys played with the candles like glow sticks, and all the congragation would roll around going "Wawawawa".... it may lead to a whole new branch of religion.... or maybe its just way too early for me to be posting? and to the op: if you have been told your entire life to fear something, to seek out something in everyday life, and to belive whole heartedly in their existence, you probably would. (the same way i fear radiation, even though i haven't really seen the effects first hand)
Some people take stupid stuff way too seriously. alot of them are christians. luckly not all christians are like that!
this made me laugh. i believe that whole drug/rave scene to be a religion. they faithfully go to church every friday night.instead of traditional church hymnals they have traditional techno musicz. instead of comunion bread and grape drink they have rolls and liquid L. same shit different approach. no matter how non religious you think you are youll always be making a reliogion out of something else it is the human condition. we were made to worship something. we were made to fellowship.
