Happy All Hallow's Eve! I hope most of you out there have some plan or another in order to get your FREE CANDY!! and have one hell of a time while your at it. I myself am too old for trick-or-treating (at least that's what the adults in my family think) and while I would love nothing more than to join in the Halloween festivities, my area of trick-or-treating is extremely crappy, and barely alive. Therefor, I will not be joining this year, nor most likely the next. D:
The main reason for our area being bad to T&T in is because a few years back we had some major fight/gang/gun activity on the block, and a few kids ended up in the crossfire. Nobody was killed, but a couple of people ended up with broken bones. So we kiddies are sent inside during this time. However, just because we are forced inside doesn't mean we can't pay a respectful tribute to the all mighty Halloween Lord. (May he continue to bless us with tons of tricks and/or treats, and make each Halloween better than the last!)
And now, onto a subject that is a bit more serious.
I am aware that most of us on here have suffered some discrimination or another at some point in our lives. It's unavoidable, given the fact that we are human. However, that does not mean we have to tolerate it lying down, correct?
At my school, there is a 10% of people who are open-minded compared to the 90% who aren't. That 90% resides in my math class. There is a boy in my class who apparently is appalled by the fact that I do not have a religion, and I belive in my own personal gods. Furthermore, he insists on telling everybody in the room, that, based on this information, and that fact that I accidentally said "We" when I meant "I", that I have summoned Satan into the room, and am now attempting to steal their souls. WTF.
As if that is not enough, he has people hating me and telling me that I'll "burn in Hell" if I don't "quit my summoning and turn myself into God's hands." Double WTF. And then he goes on to say that my gods can't possibly exist, because who made them then? My retort to that?
"Well then, who made God?"
His answer? "Nobody, he just exists."
WTF, WTF, WHAT THE FUCK?!
Seriously, can you say loon? Because that's what this guy is. Not only is he and the entire class trying to shove their religion down my throat, but they are also telling me my gods don't exist and that I'm doomed to swim in the pits of Hell forever. I wanted nothing more than to smack him thouroughly when he said that, but I stopped due to the fact that the teacher came in along with the principal. The sad part of this entire thing is I have another semester with this guy and the entire class. Any suggestions?
