-- Posted by duesxmachina at 6:27 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 we're raised to "turn the other cheek" or in metaphorical terms "let the bully beat the shit out of you then say "you can't hurt my spirit!" SEX. you fellow christians know the hysteria it produced in your parents right? its like fight club, first rule, don't talk about it. Anger. My parents must be secret SWAT team bomb diffusers because they seem trained in exinguishing fiery anger or rage but never showing it themselves because you can "reason" your way out of things. And lastly: Everything is a divine intervention. it makes me so damn angry sometimes and i'll see it even more as i grow up and most likely move down south to where there are more. hmm...how does one "outgrow" these things? -- Posted by pittehwill at 6:28 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 You explore other religious options. -- Posted by psmith at 6:29 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 The point is not to get the shit beat out of you, The point is to be the bigger person. You fail to see this. -- Posted by duesxmachina at 6:33 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 have you ever seen one badass christian in the media? or how about this one sexual christian? is there such thing? -- Posted by blufindr at 6:34 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Reasons Christians are easy targets: Their arguments make no fucking sense. -- Posted by Micus at 6:34 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 You don't need to be religious to be level-headed. -- Posted by kaylalynn2008 at 6:34 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 honestly, religion is pretty much 'do unto others as you would like done to yourself.' do what is right, be the bigger person, and don't do something to get the shit kicked out of you in the first place. -- Posted by MixedDelight at 6:36 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 Quote: from psmith at 9:29 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 The point is not to get the shit beat out of you, The point is to be the bigger person.

Good point.^ -- Posted by Kuledood11 at 6:37 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 christians fall into sin too, and the turn the other cheek means to not let the small things make you angry or offensive. -- Posted by RIMHfire at 6:38 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 The irony of hypocrisy. -- Posted by duesxmachina at 6:40 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 yes, but if you knew it was bad and it was drilled into your head at an early age, why, just THINKING of sex would make you feel guilty! then, well, should i mention Ed Gein? or most serial killers? (sex and church should be fucking seperated too) -- Posted by Abmoore785 at 6:42 pm on Nov. 6, 2008 In order to "outgrow" the problem you talking about you must figure out what you truly believe and not what you've been force fed. Then you can decide which religion suits you. -Source: I went through the same thing.
