Is this a joke? You're a joke, right?

Unfortunately I know you could be real because I live in Texas. Let me spell it out for you: she is acting this way because OF YOU. She acts this way BECAUSE you think stupid things like "her cat is a devil" and "I hate her boyfriend because he has piercings, even though he's nice".

You're a terrible person and hardly deserving of the label "Christian" (like most self-described "Christians", come to think of it.) You do not think or act like Christ; you are a HYPOCRITE. That is the surest way to turn a young person away from religion. She will have a long, hard road ahead of her...unless she meets real Christians who accept without judgement, she may always be an atheist. (Not that there's anything wrong with that--if she is an atheist, hopefully she can come to an equilibrium without becoming a nihilist like some dramatic types do...just sayin').


P.S. I just looked up the band on the "boyfriend's" t-shirt, and Acacia Strain isn't a goth band, it's a metalcore band. These kids are emos, I think. Not that it really matters, I suppose...there's a lot of cross-over nowadays (my roommates are metal-heads), but these kids are not *technically* goths.
