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

I thought I read this journal earlier tonight, but what I [i]actually[/i] read was the one before this one. And I thought that one was bad. ._. What can I say? Your day started out great. I would personally even have indulged at the panic and chaos at church because I'm weird like that. ^_^ But then, the person who insisted on shaking hands with you had [i]no business[/i] telling you that your hands were sweaty. Someone once told me about how she didn't like having sweaty hands, how it she thought it grossed people out and didn't like shaking hands because of it. I asked her if she'd actually been [i]told[/i] that her hands were gross because I believed that no one would be so indecent as to insult a normal genetic trait that she couldn't do anything about. Apparently, some people [i]do[/i] have the nerve to insult something so small. :x It's like telling a person with disfigured hands [size=9](there was someone like that at my middle school)[/size] that her hands are shaped funny. It's something that you [i]do not say because they know it, and the truth hurts[/i]. >.< What's wrong with the people who like to point out things that are obviously sensitive subjects? And as for your brother telling you what he did... That was sick. Listen to me, Flink. You are [i]not[/i] going to Hell. [i]No[/i]. You're one of the nicest, most understanding people I've ever met. There's a [i]long, long[/i] lineup of people who deserve to go to Hell before you, and you're going even going to be part of that line up. I [i]will not accept[/i] the possibility that you will be anything but rewarded for this life. Strong faith can make a mere possibility an inevitability. [i]I[/i] will see to it that you get what you deserve with [i]my[/i] faith, so don't listen to that hypocrite of a preacher wannabe. And your children, should you choose to have any, will not be cursed. There are people who are born imperfect--indeed, perhaps no one is born perfect. I know for a fact that I'm not perfect. But these are accidents or even gifts that we don't yet understand, not curses. I do not believe that God willfully inflicts curses on [i]anyone[/i] who has not shown they deserve it. You don't deserve it. Your children don't deserve it. Be at ease. People who speak of curses and damnation are far from God. Don't let your family's close-mindedness get to you. As you've suggested yourself, you aren't their doll to play with. Be proud of who you are. It's people who are exactly what they are told to be who need to worry.

Duplicated comment. The system said it didn't submit because I exceeded the character limit, but the comment saved anyway.

Rawr, duplicate comment again.
