I'm sick of this. I'm tired of people bothering me about my religion. Just leave me alone, okay? If you're worried about me, oh well. This is my decision. I don't know how many times I'm going to have to tell you, but I don't believe in Christianity. I'm sorry. I don't believe in your precious Jesus, God, Heaven, or Hell. It's all nothing to me. So just stop praying for me and stop trying to convert me. Stop inviting me to church functions. Just stop. Do you see me forcing you to watch one of my rituals? No. So why can't you respect me in the same way? I'm tired of this and it hurts. Maybe you're too wrapped up worrying about me to see just how bad it does hurt. I feel out of place. You've got your friends from Youth. You even told me you guys were close, and it sounds like they're closer to you than me. I'm okay with that, though. Because I'll never be the person you want me to be. I don't know how much more of this I can handle before it'll be too much. I can barely stand to talk to you right now as it is. It seems like you can't even try to look past my choice in religion and see the me who became best friends with you 4 years ago. If you can't look past my religion, how can we be friends? Think about that. I'm finished with this now.

	I know this isn't about me, because I haven't known you that long, but I want you to know that I except your religion. I may not like it, but I respect you belifes, and I know the real you. And I love it!

	Brenda, Before I give you advice I want you to know that there is no one on this earth that I respect more than you. I've never met anyone who is so real and up front about who they are. Most people would give into pressure and convert. But I am so **** proud of you for knowing who you are and sticking with it. Okay, now it's time for the advice: Make (we both know who) read this. I think it's pretty damn necessary. She won't know unless you tell her. As for me, you know I'm always beside you no matter what. biggrin I love you, Bee. Not someone else. ~Amber Rose~

	You know what... I already know all this. You can post it on your journal all you want, you can get as pissed at me as you want but it's not gonna change how I feel. I'm just as head strong as you are... maybe even more. I love you Brenda... you know that. Because I love you I'm always gonna pray for you, even if you hate me for it. If you think I'm hurting you then think about how much the thought of you going to hell hurts me. If you were in my position you'd be doing the exact same thing. So no, I won't stop praying for you. I do respect your decision I've said it time and time agian but respecting it doesn't mean I'm happy with it. I'll never stop hoping that you'll come around. Yes I'm close with my friends from youth because they understand me in a spiritual way they understand the changes I've been through since I became a believer in christ. You are still the only person I can pour my heart out to. You're still my best friend, at least I hope you are. We've been through so much togther and I love you. This is something I have to do or my entire life I'll hate myself for not doing it. Even if my praying for you breaks our friendship apart at lest I'll know that I tried to save you. It'll still hurt like hell, believe me it will but eternity in heaven is like hell without you... P.S. Just because your feelings are hurt doesn't mean I'm the bad guy. You don't exactly respect my religion either, you make fun of it right in front of my face. Don't act like I'm the only one in the wrong here like I'm some bible pushing b*h. Everyone reading probably thinks I am but I don't give a ****... this is not my fault. -The Bad Guy- -The bh this is about- -The Bible Pusher- -The Religious a- -The Ex-friend- Just because I want the best for you doesn't mean I'm a b**h, we just have different ideas about what's best. -The Best Friend-

	Did I ever ****** say you were the bad guy? No. Anyone can read my journal entry and see that. And yeah, I do respect your religion. Just because I make jokes about it doesn't mean a thing. Hell, I make fun of my own religion all the time. Just ask Haven. You're not a b*h. You're not my ex friend, but if you keep this up, you will be. I just need some time alone.

	I repsect you and your religion, your beliefs, thoughts, dreams. Those who try to convert you, or continue to pray for those who don't believe in God, heaven, hell, or Jesus will come to find they'll one day end up in the non-existant hell. (This is not against anyone who's religious! This is only my belief.) God is no man, I pray to no soul. If god is really there then prove it. Prove he's there... And maybe then I'll believe you. I'm not saying Jesus doesn't exist... He was once a man possibly. They're not "magical", they don't watch over everything you do and decide if you go to heaven or hell. It's only a matter of time before we'll all realize this because our Earth will end eventually, and God won't be there to support us anymore. Quote: "I lost my mind about a few months ago...

	Response to the above comment: Sure God doesn't exist just because you have no visibule proof... God is all powerful why should he have to prove himself to you It's not like you snap your fingers and he sends some sign telling you that he exists Honestly you're not worth it Do you really think he feels he needs to prove anything to you. (sorry strongly opionated no offense)

	Oh my ******** God! Will you shut up already? Did you not see that he said that it was just his belief? Listen, as you can tell no body cares about your opinion of God, so why do you have to continuously talk about him. Do you know who you remind me of? Hillary Fay from the movie saved. Your acting just like her. It's like you've done a complete flipside. You're not the person I new back in 6th grade and to be honest, I don't think I like this new version of you. I don't even know who you are.

Commented on: Sun Aug 30, 2009 @ 06:07pm


	And you think the new you is all rainbows and sunshine. NO, you're being a b*h... I just stated what I believe just like he did. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean I'm wrong just like beause I don't agree with him it doesn't mean he's wrong. Just leave me alone, yes I talk about my religion. That's only because it rules my life, it determines what I do everyday. If you don't like me then why bother talking to me. I still love you but if a religious bible pushing b*h is all you think of me as then you don't know me anymore. Either get used to the fact that I believe in something with my whole heart or don't. Sure I'll shed some tears but I'll eventually get over it...If you don't like it then either get over it or don't either way it's your decision I've already made mine. I'm sticking with you until you decide otherwise.

	Okay. All of this just tears me apart. There is so much that I need to say and I'm just not sure how to. If God exist (which is my belief), then he is forgiving and merciful. That's the idea of Christianity and Christ. You do something wrong, you ask for forgiveness and you are saved. However, you must also acknowledge that you are a sinner and a bad person. You must also know that you need to repent just as much as the next person. So, just because you are Christian doesn't mean that you have more of a chance of going to Heaven. In the end, everyone will have a choice. If God does, in fact exist then when it's time for judgment, and you stand in front of him, you will have a choice. If you are/were not a believer in Christ then you will have a chance to convert...that is if you are a good person. Also, there is a large difference in being righteous and self righteous. Just because you base ever decision you make based on Christ doesn't mean you are perfect...and chances are you don't base every choice on God. You just don't. And lastly, Religion should not define us. In the words of Mary from Saved!, "God would not make us so different if he wanted us to be the same." You are the way that you are for a reason. And part of life is accepting who people are and living with it. Despite the fact that you believe in Christ or the fact that you just don't, he still loves you....all the same. God doesn't have favorites. And He wouldn't want two people to stop being friends because of it. Please, don't forget this. ~Amber Rose~
