Religious Conflicts
It happened yesterday in chorus. Kaitlin and I were arguing about our religions and I was saying how hers was wrong and how mine was right.
This is how it all started. Kaitlin and I were in the record room playing the piano and I played a song that my church plays and she said, "What religion are you?"
I said "I am a Christian. What about you?"
"I am Christian, but sometimes I believe but sometimes I don't," Kaitlin said.
"What? Do you not believe that Christ, our savior, saved us for our sins?" I said with a mad tone.
"Maybe I do. Maybe I don't." She said.
"We were all born a sinner. Haven't you ever heard the story of Adam and Eve?" I said even more furious. She didn't say anything she just shook her head.
"Adam and Eve ate off of the precious tree after God told them not to. He clothed them with animal skin and then took their souls. I think that's how it happened. But then Jesus Christ saved us for our sins," I said furious.
"Well, I've heard that story. I just don't believe that really happened," Kaitlin said.
"Well do you believe that Jesus Christ saved you for your sin?" I said.
"Yes. But some church's say that to be saved you have to be baptized," she said.
"That is not true. In the bible is says nothing about having to be baptized to go to heaven. If them people are saying that, I guess they don't read the bible. That is just totally wrong!!!!!!!" I screamed.
"Well, I believe it's true. The story of Adam and Eve never happened," she said.
"You even go to church with me, at The First Baptist Church in Hamilton, and they say that it is true and that you don't have to be baptized to go to heaven. Don't you ever listen to Martin?" I said.
"Who's Martin?" Kaitlin said.
"Our preacher at The First Baptist Church in Hamilton. Duh!!!" I said very upset.
"No, I'm always busy staring at Chris or Brandan," Kaitlin said.
"Okay. That's just gross. Why do you only care about guys? Church is not the place for puppy love," I said.
"I don't really care about God. I actually think he's stupid for making the world the way it is now." She said.
"You did not just say that?!?!?!" I said furious.
"I did and this argument is over!!!!!" She said upset with me.
So Kaitlin and I went our own ways. We haven't talked for almost a month now.
I exaggerated a lot. The begging really happened but toward the end it went fantasy.

I think if you expect people to give you positive feedback, you should write things as they happened or eles put it in the fiction section.
You are NOT always right. I am not always right. But I know it, and it's time you do as well.<br />
