Why is religion such a big deal?

Yesterday on facebook, a girl that I had known since 4/5 grade was posting statuses related to her religion (Christianity) like "Like this if you believe in God!" and "Like this if you DON'T believe in God." I commented on the 2nd, asking if she was talking about the Christian God or any god at all? Someone else commented that (of course) she was talking about the "Judaic Christian God," so, in response, I clicked like, and definitely offended a bunch of people. She then proceeded to interrogate me! She asked me nicely at first like she was actually curious like why I did not believe in God, but then it turned kind of brutal after I said I was Wiccan. I started getting questions like "Would you ever convert?" and responses to my responses like "I have a relationship with my God." I can understand it, and it doesn't sound to bad on here, but she was asking like she looked down on me and did not accept that I believe in her God. She seemed incredulous that I was happier now than I had ever been when I was "Christian." Her words were offensive, and she knew it.
I don't see why people judge people on their religion. If I'm a nice person to you, what does it matter if I'm Wiccan? There are plenty of Christian murderers; Would you accept them over me? If your religion teaches you to "love thy neighbor," how could you hate someone?
The Westboro Baptist Church. Does anyone know who I'm talking about? The people in that chuch claim to be Christian, but they HATE homosexuals, Jews, soldiers, and Australians. There's probably more to that list too. How can you be Christian and hate someone? How can you be Christian and claim God hates JEWS. Wasn't Jesus a Jew? And they claim God hates Easter. Isn't Easter a CHRISTIAN holiday?
I just don't get it.
Accept people for who they are, not who they believe in.

It's a blog for reflecting on my relationship, the good and the bad, and everything else in between.
It is a private blog, so if anyone wants the link, leave a comment

Sophomore year

Nooooooooooo! Don't show those videos D: D: D:
*embarrassment*

So, I just finished my animation. It's stupid -.-


Now, onto my blog.

Sophomore year. Not quite as eventful as freshman year. 'Twas much better :D

One of my best friends was admitted long-term to a mental hospital, I fell in love, I kind of got over my stage fright, I've expanded my cosplay and art, learned to [mostly] balance my emotions, let go of too many friends in Grove City without meaning to, and lost a friend to suicide.

All in all, not too bad of a year, in fact it would have been very good if not for the last part.
RIP Kelsey. I don't believe in Heaven, but other people do, so if it's real, I know you're there ♥

Yesterday, one of the coolest people I ever met committed suicide. I haven't seen her since middle school, and now I'm greatly regretting that. I hate that she was so depressed, felt so worthless, that she felt that death was the only way out. I've known several people who have hit that low, myself included, but there was always someone to talk us out of it. I can't help but think if maybe her best friends had paid just a bit closer attention, she'd still be here. Of course, no one is to blame. But let it be an eye opener. If your friend is thinking about suicide, TELL SOMEONE. I nearly lost one of my best friends toward the beginning of the school year, and it seemed that we couldn't stop her because talking to the school counselor hadn't done anything, but she was stopped because one of our friends told the right person. She spent many months in a mental institution, but she's safe. She's out now, and she has no need to feel like she did.

Baby Fever

With someone as cute as this, how could you not want one of your own?
Not for many years though.... ;)

All of the pictures except the last one are Ava at 3 months. The last one is Ava at roughly 2 months.

Pets! :D

I want a sugar glider so bad.

I also wouldn't mind a rat

And OF COURSE I'll have a cat. Or two.

I'll just have to make sure she (or he) doesn't eat my rats O.O

Break Stuff

It's just one of those days when you don't wanna wake up
Everything is ****ed
Everybody sucks
You don't really know why, but you wanna justify
Rippin' someone's head off
No human contact
And if you interact, your life is contract
Your best bet is to stay away, mother****er
It's just one of those days


Funny, they say speak your mind, be who you are. Does anyone actually mean that? One toe out of line, you're not who we thought you were. You know, it's kind of hard trying to work everyday to be the same. The same personality as the day before, the same amount of happiness, the same outlook on life.

Btw, blogger=my place to rant


Heh, I don't even like Limp Biskit anymore.
