Losing my religion...
I believe religion is a personal matter for everyone. It's a matter of faith, the link between you and The Big Guy up there, or whoever or whatever you believe in. What I'm trying to say is that it is your right to choose whatever faith you want to believe in and no one should interfere with that. No one should ever force his/her religion unto you through any means.
Last sunday, I got a call from my great aunt and great uncle ( I think that's what they're called ). I haven't seem them in years because they currently reside in Vancouver, Canada and of course I'd like to meet them. The fact that my great uncle is a preacher was already alerting me that there must be some catch to this and true to my hunch, they asked me to meet them in a church. I do not want to offend other Christian churches but I like my Catholic church quite well and I have this aversion of going to Christian churches. Anyway, so I went to one of the services where my great uncle was preaching. To cut the story short, I don't feel comfortable being in it. But obviously both of them had different intention and they "gently" forced me to go to this church practically leaving me no room to escape.
Now, wait a minute...I know I'm not a religious person. I'm a secular Catholic if you want to put it that way. But I'm fine there, really. So I thought maybe they forgot that I'm a Catholic. But at a later time, I realized that they're fully aware that I'm a Catholic. And I was like...What the hell ?
I'm a big boy, I think I can handle my personal faith by myself, thank you. And what's with the insinuation that this church is better than others ?
Confronting them is really not an option so I took the second viable option. I took off the second I could got out from there.
Now, if only my phone can block certain numbers.
That's me in the corner. That's me in the spotlight.
