So, I was chatting with this kid. He’s pretty internally conflicted between being gay and devoutly religious. Was chatting with him as I was getting ready to go to the Students for A Non-religious Ethos thing on tuesday (the under god<\/strike> in the pledge thing), and I mentioned it to him, and he was all “I’ll pray for you” and I was all “And I hope you come to a reasonable set of assumptions about the universe” and he was all “I’m going to eat some cruelly slaughtered animal product” and I left. <\/p>\n
Yesterday, I try to start chatting with him, and he’s generally anti-social, I try to figure out what it is, and he turns into a raging asshole. Saying things like I should leave America, I don’t care at all about my country, I have no beliefs, blah, blah, blah. The kid has alot of self-hatred going on, and apparently decided I was the incarnation of everything he didn’t like about himself. (He had earlier expressed that he felt that the choice between his sexuality and his religion was an either\/or thing). <\/p>\n
So I told him if he wanted me to leave him alone, that’s all he had to say. He said yes, with some pretty nasty comments on the side, I wished him the best, to which he replied “I don’t have the same wish for you :-)”. I then removed him from my contact list, etc. <\/p>\n
And the strange thing is, I actually worry about him. Hope he grows up at some point. <shrug><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
