I hate to say it, but since I gave up my christianity, I just can't see myself hanging out with him.  it's always "thanks to the lord" and "just gotta keep praying" and all that. I can't stand it, and he's not just stopping drinking so much, it's not drinking at all.  I'm sorry, ut I enjoy a beer now and then, and I don't go to the bar just to sing.  I drink too. but it's mainly the christian thing.  I'm not christian, and can't stand him bringing it up like my father does(he was friends with my father first, and is older than me by 6 years).  He tried to even invite me to church(I swear my father brought it up or something that I don't go to church).   I swear, if he asks again, I'm telling him not to bring it up in front of me, unless he wants me to end our friendship.  I'll do it too.  I don't want to be influenced either direction.  he brought it up once, that's fine.  but to constantly bring it up when it pisses me off, he should know from the first warning. I finally got my father to quit.  if he's getting others to try to influence me, I'm gonna be pissed.  why my father and his friends feel the need to influence me when I clearly show disdain for such nonsense is beyond me. my friend says "I just worry about you."...I'm the last person that needs to be worried about.  I don't care, and if hell is my price, I'll fight my way out for freedom.  freedom is fought for, not given to you.  I've fought all my life to have equality, I'll most likely fight in the next life for freedom anyways. -- Posted by avenue at 1:37 am on Mar. 26, 2008 i think if religion is being forced on you, itll just make you dislike it even more. -- Posted by tenchi1084 at 1:39 am on Mar. 26, 2008 I know...I just want them to back off.  I'm tempted to admit I'm bi, that would scare them off, though not in the best way possible. -- Posted by fullmooncurse at 1:40 am on Mar. 26, 2008 My father stopped drinking but without the god group I think I would die if he did that I also think it's annoying when AA people turn out to be god lover freaks when they're done with the everything. I hate being pushed to go to church by my friends that are "worried about my immortal soul" -- Posted by tenchi1084 at 1:41 am on Mar. 26, 2008 haha, yeah.  My immortal soul is just fine as a drifter.  I'd rather not be chained by fate either way.
