Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yes, Elv is our brilliant short story writer/once poet. Her work can really capture you.

We all have a special skill or two. Tommy is brilliant with characters who are either young or a little mad, which is always entertaining, and writes poetry with more rhythm than most songs. I've already talked about Elv. KiyoKyo is...well, brilliant. His characters evolve, and his storylines are truly addicting. Lion has a talent for dark humor, which we've already discussed, and I'm the resident poet/occasional fantasist. I'm good with manipulating words to evoke emotion, word choice, and character development. Unfortunately, my writing is sporadic, and I make a very poor editor. *sigh, again, and shrug, then drinks from own mug*

And yes, with Glory gone and Muse absent, it does seem a little less cheery in here, doesn't it?

heh in good time. Write more for me while I'm busy. I'm always happy to read new works - especially one's that will be properly worded.

Oh man, that was a nice dinner, we actually ate as a family, then afterwards we talked for about half an hour about different things, it was really enjoyable for a change, usually we just eat whenever we get hungry.
So how is everyone today?

All right, so, I no longer care too much about offending anyone because this is a full blown rant.

I call it: I HATE CHRISTIANS, a rant.

So long time ago, about 2 years I think, I met this fellow who was really nice and cool at my girl friend's family reunion thinger. I added him to MSN and over the past years we haven't said much to each other, he hasn't been on or responsive.

That brings us to the present, and it has nothing to do with Santa.

So, last night buddy starts talking to me about my current MSN title which reads: If morality is subjective to emotions, then who are we to deny our emotions what they desire? He starts questioning me on philosophical matters about whether or not its right or wrong to punch someone, then kill someone, then something about genocide and reducing the human population to a more sustainable size. Then today, he just comes online and right off the bat throws his secret, deceptive inhuman Jesus busslit (I will from hence forward change up my curses, cause I can) at me with a vigour I haven't seen since the Mormons used to bark at my door every weekend.

So basically, he throws all this biblical NONSENSE, complete schit, just out of no where and I'm caught completely off my phukking guard. So about 5 minutes into our religion versus logic debate, he does the only sensible fugging thing and asks me if I mind discussing God. Well schmidt, I love talking about god, He doesn't, but I warned him so my imaginary sense of ethics is clean. So basically, we discussed for all of TWO pushes of the ENTER key, then he starts throwing shitake at me concerning that I'm lost and hopeless because I don't believe in God Almighty and Jesus and how the dumb bass-player-tard got nailed to a cross and stabbed with a pointy stick (Yes fools, I know it was a spear, I'm being melodramatic!).

Then, and I love it when they try and argue with me because right off the gun I slapped him hard with a phrase that read something like: If all you're going to do is argue that piss off, I don't argue religion, I talk about it civilly. I don't want to be converted, many have tried and none have succeeded.

So without skipping a clucking beat the bucker DIVES right into the conversion pocess like how I can be forgiven and I don't know WHY!? but I'm still talking to him. The next time I see this bible thumb mega bunt I'm going to hit him, I don't care whose there or if I have to punch a hundred other people to get to him I'ma hit him so hard GOD WILL FLINCH!

I can't stand people like that, they all deserve to go to heaven and STAY THERE. Resurrection be DARNED I don't want to talk to another one of those preaching little pricks again until next year when my anxiety has abated over another worthless human being trying to convert me to pray and worship something that means NOTHING.

Pray, worship, believe, have faith, FINE! I don't give a drape, but muck off and don't throw it in my face and try and make me feel guilty for FREE GUCKING THINKING!?!?!? I don't push my beliefs on others, granted, I only believe in other human beings, but still, PIECE OFF!

God I'm so sick of religion, one day I vow to remove christianity like a scab from the earth with a knife so sharp and efficient people will think it was all just some silly after thought.

CHRIST!

I'm done, but no less angry or mad...

Yeah, I know what you mean, it's just...there's gotta be a better way....

And it's good to see you again, KiyoKyo. Welcome back to the Cafe.

Ahem, well... should i start ranting as well

I agree Lion, some people are just harsh and try to force their religion on you. I live in Utah, and no I'm not Mormon, I'm Catholic, but haven't been to church in a long while so you might consider me something else. Try living in a state where the majority of the people are a different religion then you, your friends parents find that out and then they cant hang out with you or even be seen talking to you. We're lucky now that it's gotten a little better, but if someone tries to force their religion on me, i'm telling you they'd wish that they hadn't because I refuse to have it pushed on me and will defend myself.

So I say to those that have tried to convert me, "Keep your religion to yourself and I'll keep mine the same, I've been a Catholic all my life and nothing is going to change that fact, what harm would i do to you just because I have a different religion?"

Clearly you haven't been confronted with many evangelists, CariRae (luckily). They never seem to give up....
