my neighbor came by earlier.
she wanted to invite us to church. I bit back my laughter, said thank you and told her we would see what we could do.
she’s so sweet, and so not the pushy religious type that i couldn’t find it in my heart to tell her what i really wanted to say:
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?
i didn’t want to offend her. nor did i want to start a philosophical debate at my front door while i was cooking dinner. but now i don’t know want to avoid her as to not flat out lie about why we haven’t attended her church.
i could tell her flat out: i’m an atheist.
i just don’t want her to start in about how her church is different. they all say that, but they all preach the same thing. something i don’t believe in. man. i should’ve just told her no. the last time i got into a philosophical debate regarding theology with someone, the outcome wasn’t pretty.
