Hey Luchi just turn to him and comment on how the christians "adopted" so many of the other pagan celebrations as their own.. one more wont hurt
Eeek! Controversy! I know.... just tell him that Jesus never hung out with a single christian in his whole life, and it never seemed to cause him any problems. Well unless you count getting crucified I suppose!
hahhaaaaa...this is true... but on a serious note i seriously dont understand what the big deal is with me chillin with non christians...surely that is THE WHOLE POINT!! rararararrarararararararaaaaaaaaa please someone kidnap me, im begging you! tie me up gag me put me in your boot...
Well yeah. That's what I was kinda getting at. Not that I approve of christianity of course, but it doesn't make much sense to just hang with christians, coz they're already saved, surely? See what hanging with the pagans has done to you?
tell him "love thy neighbour" includes every one not just christians... else its like saying "love thy brunetes" or "love thy people with size 8 feet" its horibble prjudice and if non christians celebrate christmas, and non pagans celebrate may day, harvest and halloween they why cant u celebrate solstice? its the longest day of the year! WHAT A REASON TO PARTY IF ANY!
haahha...yeh ive tried that tactic..."but its my friends 18th!!c'monnnn!!" but no. heartless. cruel. and cold. come to mind... he says its imporatnt for me to be at church that sunday...... .... i have nothing to say to that but..... dot dot dot dot .... and rags
You have two options left. "It's my calling. God wants me to work with hippies. It may involve some drugs and casual sex, but it's all in a good cause!", or "Fuck off and stop trying to tell me how to lead my life!".
hahaaaaaaaa...ive used the "calling" option one too many times me thinks... "god wants me to work with ravers"... "god wants me to work with surfers down in newquay..." "yunno, i feel god is really calling me to glasto this year..." hahahaaaaa and the latter option is tempting today but the church pays my rent so.. yehh...
hehe weve stopped going there with the whole sexuality discussions caused it always gets rather heated... ...hang on..that didnt come out right!
You could always argue that Christmas was a pagan tradition based around the midwinter solstice. It isn't mentioned in the bible once. Also Easter is named after the godess Eostra, which is also where we get the word Estrogen. the only festivals Jesus celebrated were the Jewish ones.
maybe im not a christian, maybe i have a penchant for controversy... ...or maybe im a complusive liar...
I dunno the problem the church has with homosexuality. I mean c'mon! Jesus was a long haired hippy and never had a girlfriend!!! Doesn't this ring any alarm bells?
