Today in math class the person beside asks me what I think of religion and I respond, “I don’t like religion.” I think all these different religions make things oh-so complicated. He huffs and he puffs and he practically explodes. He tells me how I am wrong a what I said was offending to him so I just shrug and turn around. He moves to sit closer to the board then moves back a bit later once again bringing up the topic of religion. He says to me, “God bless you.” I looked at him, stunned that he would say that to me right after I told him I’m not fond of religions. He puts on a small smirk as I turn to face him, telling him, “I find that offending,” exactly as he told me. Then he goes on and on about how he is right and there is proof and I am wrong and lacking proof. I sit there, and try to ignore him, knowing full well that prolonging this will only make it worse. He then asks me if I am going to respond or not and I totally lose it, following his rude, whiny voice I speak in the same brutal tongue. “Of course I won’t.” Though I kind of did it seemed to do the trick… for about five minutes. He once again opened his mouth to talk about my wrongness and ignorance. He is one reason why I dislike religions; he creates big deals out of simple things like my opinion. It’s like saying I like vanilla ice cream and he likes chocolate ice cream.

After class I hopped on my bus, happy to be away from such controversial stuff. When one of the nicest people I know comes over to greet me I already feel better. We talk for a bit and somehow get onto the topic of religion; she is a Christian and is very close to her beliefs and stuff. She convinces me to forgive the boy for the scene he created and hope that he becomes open-minded. Though I do not believe in God or Brahman or Zeus or whatever else I think that I am more open minded about things like that all because of my friend! =)

Sorry that it’s another thing about religion but I promise this is the last one!! =D
