I have to go to a catholic school, so I'm surrounded by this shit for 7 hours a day, 5 days a week. I get by by saying to myself that I'm smarter than these Jesus freaks, that I believe in truth and reality, not fairy tales. It can be hard. For example, every first Friday of the month, we have to go to Eucharistic Adoration. (It's a good time for a nap), and every Friday we have to go to church. (There's a built in chapel in our school) I don't get communion, though. My friends are always challenging my views, and it's funny to hear what they come up with. "How was the world created?" I don't know that, but I'm sure some magic man didn't do it. We don't know everything yet. These kids think we do. Theology class isn't as bad as you might think, actually. All we've been doing is reading books of the bible, taking notes, and taking quizzes. It'll probably get worse in the next few years. (I'm a freshman) because they're going to try to convince me of crap such as that life begins at conception, and make me answer that on a test. Other things they do is ask shit like "How does God help you in your daily life?" "What can you do to be more holy?" etc. Somehow, I've gotten through this year with a B in Theology. Anyway, back to topic. Just roll your eyes a lot, try to be strong. You're right, they're wrong. And you can always find solace and support here!
