True Story. A religion teacher assigned her class an essay on what makes a good Christian. One student wrote about praying nightly, say no to abortion, banning gay marriage, and donating money. The other student wrote about talking to God and allowing people to enjoy their lives, and supporting gay marriage. The day the teacher was to hand the papers back, she called up the second student and told him she would pray for him when he went to hell. The student asked why would he be going to hell, and why he got an F on his paper. The teacher told him that Catholisim is against gay marriage. The student looked at her for a minute, then said aloud, "I'm gay." The teacher kicked him out of class as if he had said fuck or worshiped Satan. A girl in the back of class who had a boyfriend and was obviously straight got up and left too.

If you would leave the classroom, repost this. It doesn't matter if you're straight, bi, or gay. It doesn't matter if you're catholic or not. Everyone is a human being and deserves happiness.

Religion sure does some interesting things to people, i understand, it's changed my buddy in terms of personality and morals. It's made them happier, but as a result it has also made them more judgemental on a lot of sensitive issues, which is kind of sad because they used to be quite open minded.

I know this is a very late reply, it's been two months since i got this post. It was actually coincedence that I opened up livejournal, i promised myself a long time ago i would give it up actually! I stumbled upon it quite by accident! I'm glad you took the time to write to me. Sometimes these things just fall out of place and things change, so don't feel bad about not writing back to me. Technology has changed too, when we wrote to each other it was so different.
I remember your letters, and I do remember you so I'm not freaked out. Sorry I didn't get the time to write before, a lot has happened.
Thanks for writing back, it was really good to hear from you. Perhaps if you would still like to email or chat sometime, you can send me an email on aeris_787@yahoo.com.
Sorry for the late reply, and thank you for contacting me again.
