Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Alright, right now I'm sitting at the computer, my stomach full of KD and I am not at Annie. Why? Because my parents didn't want me to be out of the house with my brother home alone.

Now, I'm going to paint you a scenario. Me and my brother in the kitchen, I'm wiping the counter and my brother is fiddling with the radio. He turns to me and says "They're shutting down Waupoos Island", now I already knew this, but I responded with an "I don't care". Blunt? Quite, however that's my general opinion on the matter. He starts going on about how he was sad about it and he really wanted to go back. I said that I didn't care, he asked me if I hated being there. I said I didn't hate it but that I would much rather never return again. He said he thought I didn't want to go back because it was too churchy. I agreed with him. This apparently gave him due cause to rant at me for a good twenty minutes about how it pisses him off that I'm not as religious as him.

He spouts all this crap about how he beleives in God very strongly and that I should too, because it would make mom and dad happy and because (quote) "Beleiving in God is cool". He then goes off on this tangent about how I should spend more time with the family and that whenever I do do anything with the family I always puts a dampener on things. He says he wants me to pretend I like going to church and that I'm just as religious as the lot of them. He goes off on this line for another 10 minutes, saying how he hates it when I don't want to do family things. I say this is because all the stuff that's chosen as a family activity is s**t I don't wanna do. He keeps yelling and ranting at me and eventually returns to the topic of the fact that my faith should just all around be stronger.

Well s**t.

It's not my damn fault if my family is a bunch of religious jesus-freaks. Going to church every weekend and being involved in various religious events and trying to force that kinda stuff on me. It's all well and good if they're like that, if that's how they see things then they can by all means be that way. If it makes them happy, who am I to stop them? But it really really pisses me off when they try and force their "Roman Catholicism is perfect" s**t on me. I am of the opinion that my religion sucks, it's really not that decent. I went to Sunday school, I go to a catholic school right now, and I've read practically the entire bible. It's not that I don't beleive in God, I just don't necessarily like all the things 'we' christians do. Not to mention the fact that it's my brother of all people whose telling me that I should have stronger faith! Well s**t, he's been brain-washed, thrown into this entire thing without being given time to think for himself. He's trying to change me and I hate that so much. If I ever become as religious as my family well then great, but right now I'm not and i dont want it ******** forced upon me.

I don't even know why i wrote all this. I just hate getting ragged on by someone 4 years my younger. stressed
