Here is a simple email conversation... well, SOME of it. Between an ex (both boyfriend and now friend) and i. Today. Five minutes ago. And its still going on *ding* theres another email now! I'm the italisized part.
Okay, how about this you are a person who is truly pathetic. You
neither know yourself nor others. You have no idea what life is truly
like. You care about the most useless things, as most teenagers do.
Let me put it bluntly, YOU SUCK.
"Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my [Jesus] sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."
--the Bible, Matthew 5:11-12 (King James version)
What the fuck does that mean?
In case you don't know, I don't give a crap about the bible.
well that doesn't matter to me, does it? nope. here. i just prayed for you. tell me if anything ... "interesting" happens in your dreams tonight, kay? hahah. you wont get it. [i had just prayed that the Lord would come to him during the night and talk to him. i hope it happens! "Trust in the lord with all your heart..."]
Why would you pray for me? My sould is not in danger at the hands of
the devil or something.
yeah, it is actually.
Normally I would ask to explain but no.
Do you actually care about religion or are you just trying to be different?
[at this point i was panting. i was like, OH-MY-GOSH! WHAT THE HECK!? so then i counted to 10 and was fine.]excuuuuuuse me?!
the thing isnt: im christian to be different,
im different because i am christian.
because i believe in the Truth and the One and Only God and that the Messiah has indeed come to save us: Jesus Christ Emanuel. And so on and so forth.
No matter how much you slam me (or any others slam me for that reason) i will still love you as a person. I will and am praying for you. I feel sorry for you. im not sure if that was the smartest email... but we'll see in a few minutes .. or seconds what he does.
(a few minutes later) ok i dont know if he'll write back or not. maybe i'll let it last for a bit longer.... oh yay!
I don't want your pity. Keep it for someone else. I wasn't slamming
you, I was questioning you. Think about it. Haven't you realized that
I'm a much better person than you think.
I have to go now.
See you later.
So there you have it. What is wrong with people these days? Christians in the past have been too killing (the crusades etc) and not enough loving each other. So that is why so many people are hostile towards us. And then we wonder why! OMygosh.
