The day before yestarday I went with my parents to a recently married couple of pentecostals  .Dad said that one pastor talked accessible for everyone and that my cousin thought that too. That pastor talked about Hell  and salvation through Jesus , thinks in which my family doesn't believe. He said that there are many christians killed by muslims. Even though muslims kill people of other religions and atheists too and Chrsitianity wasn't always peacfull either. Hell, it's not very peacfull today.

That pastor was gesticulating alot and seemed aggitated, sometimes overly happy and sometimes overly serious, just like a bad stage comedian  . I wished for a tomato so that I can throw it at him, but that wouldn't be nice. The tomato could be eaten by someone  , it would be a waste to throw it away. What about a rotten tomato? No, it would also be a waste, it could be used as fertilizer.
About my cousin, he fucking laughed during the pastors speech   . It's true that he said later that the pastor did talk so that everyone could understand, but I don't know if my cousin was sarcastic or not. 
Right after the end of the speech, dad acnowledge that "The guy was a little extremist", but later told the couple that he "talk accessible for everyone". Yeah, he might have extremist ideas, which would mean the end of our freedom if followed by the country leaders, but he talked so accessible for anyone so he's worthy of all respect. And nobody asked for father's opinion, he wasn't forced to lie so he wouldn't hurt their feelings.
I have 3 theories on why he did what he did:

1. He was trying to kiss their asses.
   
2. He geniuenly believed what he said.
   
3. All of the above.
   

I found it hilarious , he thinks of himself as a ballanced, moral chrsitian , but he contradicts himself. All christians are like that, but this is a different kind of contradiction to me. Granted, I don't have much experience, I'm still young.


Silly christians, the only real salvation is through the flying spaghetti monster!

I was going to read your post until I saw all the illustrations.  I've got nowt against the occasional use of emojis (I use them myself, now and again), but ten of them makes your post look like a child's picture book.

 That's because a child wrote the post, he will someday grow up and use less of them. Though that many are annoying.

That was the idea. Religion is childish.

Aren't we all children inside?

The way to point out that religion is childish isn't to make a childish post.

And, no - some of us manage to be grown up on the inside as well as the outside.

Why not?

I meant that we all have a part that isn't serious in us, not that we are literally childish.

The use of the emojis is an art form.  
They are like the spices in the food.  
If you put the wrong spices you ruin the food.  
The same goes with the emojis.  
Start with little and see how they go.

I wanted to try a new style for once.

My dad used to make me laugh unintentionally by farting at/in inappropriate times/places. 

Thankfully that was passed down in the genetic code.

Clearly didn't work.  

Every sentence need a particular emojis.  

I started this art form in previous lives.  

I won many many competitions.  

I still got the trophies from the previous life in a different planet.
