Look girls. I think we have had enough here. Please stop preaching to us. Quoting the bible will get you no where. Saying we are sinners and that you are sinners doesnt seem to hold any water, since we dont share the same values. Its like trying to speak English to someone who speaks French. Trying to convert them will only make them angrier and drift further from the cause.
Your young and naive and you cant help that. Im guessing your from the south somwhere, live in a somewhat smaller town, probably go to church 3 times a week (one being at night), and a burnette. Your social atmosphere consists of people you know and met in church. One of your parents is also a religious freak. Youve probably stole something one time, or had a sip of a beer that made you run to Jesus. Your 16. You cant get away from the people and the attitudes that surround you. Your living in a closed in little world with no idea what else is actually out there. One day this is going to hit you hard right in the face, and its going to knock you down. It happens to all of us at one point. You may get up and run back to your comfort zone, or you may take a break, think about your life, alter your direction a bit and keep on going. Keep learning, keep wanting to learn. If you dont, your going to be stuck.
For now i say to relish the naivity that you bath in. Someday your going to wish you still had it.
I am not 16..but I will stop. I do hope someday you will run into someone and listen to what they have to say about this..but alas, I can see that I can say nothing. I am sorry you are so hard and unwilling to at least listen. But you chose your path, and I have chosen mine.
i find it funny that you say we don't listen. we listen had have provided nothing but facts to obliterate your argument (thanks macunas). maybe you aren't listening to the rest of hte world.
