I'm a bit pissed off now. Last night at Dairy Queen, Laura's mom asked my mom about any new church plans and of course I have to say, "*cough* Berea *cough* Friends *cough cough*", but Mom is just like, "It has to be a Bible-based church." That's what gets me right there.
For starters, I do NOT read the Bible anymore. I think it's just like one big book full of religious opinions and stories that is a bit boring and not very "holy" and "awesome" as it's described to be. I just don't agree with certain parts and other parts are just a little too detailed and just weird. So, that's basically why I never read the Bible because I could somewhat care less about what it says.
Besides, the people in the Bible and their values are COMPLETELY different from mine. This is a book written over the past 2,000 years. You're not going to expect me to become a close-minded freak of nature with a large intolerance. I know there are some good stories in there, but I just have no interest in reading it. Maybe that's why I like most of my life right now. I'm open-minded and caring of all people, unless some of those people disrespect me first, which has happened.
Berea Friends was different than my church (hopefully very soon former), but it was a nice, refreshing different. I might sit through the adult's meeting next time I go just to see what it's like. I might enjoy it and I'll get a taste of what adult Quakers think and feel since I am going to be legal in 2 years.
I just don't know why I am being dragged to a place where I don't feel comfortable, and it has to be "Bible-oriented". That's what I'm afraid of actually. If I go to someplace like that, it'll almost be like the church I am currently being dragged to, but of course that church is the most traditional southern conservative Baptist church in the world. It's probably like the church my dad grew up in, which was a Nazarine church and Mom said that it was worse.
I don't want that. Maybe Laura and I will discuss when I go over to her house in a little bit.
We should all get together on Monday when there's no school.
For now, cya guysis later.
