Hi, my name's not really important, and I'm sick and tired of all the "You're going to Hell!" crap that I hear on a daily basis for simply pointing out that putting biblical quotes on the walls of our hallways isn't really right.
I live in the lovely area in Texas where every "Good Christian" lives. Their words, not mine. I moved here from the capital city where I had never even heard the word "damnation" before. Up here, it's in every other sentence. To speak out against one of the thousands of churches that spot the area is setting yourself out to burn eternally in hell. I don't care if my friends are Christians and like to worship their God or whatever, but really, must we have a note of the whiteboard proclaiming that there's a meeting on the Football field at 6pm tonight for "Fields of Faith" so you can learn about how to come closer to God? Or how about that math paper with the title "Pondering Proverbs"? Really, is it necessary? How about the fact that we have to pray before every football game and marching competition?
What really strikes me as odd is how all of these "Good Christians" love to lie, cheat, and steal. The kids that go to church every Wednesday night and Sunday morning are the same kids that were caught popping pills last week. The same kids who steal from the local grocery store just for kicks. The same kids who curse at me for my terrible sins.
I figured that if I could speak freely about my frustration about this kind of stuff would be here, right?

"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people".
