Religion seems to be such a touchy topic, especially around the holidays and such. I am writing a story with a character in it who practices Christianity, so, knowing little about it, i decided to look up some passages that were relevant to the story. Half way down the results on Google were hateful sites about it. It was insane! The passage i was looking up wasn't even about anything about homosexuality or race or anything, it was the passage when Jesus made the blind man see, John 9:1-3 or something (cause his bf who is not really religious is blind and asked about it).
Nonetheless, i found the passage extremely interesting and tried to talk to a friend about it, who upon the mention of it got extremely defensive about only believing what they see.
It's not like i was trying to push the religion on them, i wasn't even trying to push the religion on ME, it was something i found interesting and wanted someone to discuss with.
Honestly, though, people do get way too defensive over such. I, personally, am not religious, but if someone is then it's great. The problem i have is the people who try to FORCE religion onto others, and THAT is where most of the turmoil stems from, i find.
I have had religious views forced upon me several times, and it is not pleasant in the least, especially since the person who tried to "Convert" me was being kinda aggressive.
But it is people like THAT who make everyone think that every mention of it is trying to "Convert" people.
Ok, so WHO of you have read the passage i was talking about? Cause i think many people would find it quite interesting, i will link to it when i am done. but Really, people, why can't we even mention it?
I know some people reading this ARE religious, and some AREN'T and this is not attacking EITHER SIDE, in fact, if anything it is attacking BOTH sides, including myself.

It's almost midnight. I work tomorrow, I cant afford to not sleep but here I am I guess Idk what it is, the heat...being over tired...being burnt out... But I can't seem to get my brain to shut off. Im tired enough, I'm exhausted, but the second I got in bed I can't sleep Every car that passes by scares the shit out of me. It's a busy road so cars aren't unusual but they're freaking me out tonight, especially if they slow down. I have tried to sleep, but I just keep staring at the wall, like I'm expecting something bad to happen at any second. You know the anticipation before a fire drill at school? It's that. Like I'm waiting for something but idk when it's going to happen I'm paranoid tonight. Really paranoid. Maybe it's too much true crime who knows I've always had bad nights, though, as long as I can remember The vast majority are fine, nothing notable, but when I have a bad night it's pretty bad. I see things in the shadows, I get paranoid, I nearly jump out of my

It’s funny how quickly mood can change. I was doing actually pretty good on Thursday. That didn’t last long. I’m back in depression. something big happened at work, I’ve been working towards for a few years…and then something happened that made me totally feel like I don’t deserve it. this might be imposter syndrome or depression, but I feel like I’m tricking everyone into thinking I’m good at my job. It’s like every other task I fuck up royally and I don’t know how to fix it. i second guess my career choice every other fucking day and it sucks. I know at one point I loved my job. That’s depression I guess. also funny how self aware about this I can be and yet we’re still here. Still stuck in this rut. I don’t even know howmto start climbing out

today I am piloting a vessel. I don’t feel much claim to this body. It’s doing what I want it to but i don’t exactly know if im telling it to do that or not. It feels like it’s own entity I’m the world that coexists alongside me. I wouldn’t necessarily mind this if not for the expectation of reality which is feeling connected to your body. i wont do anything, this vessel gets me from point a to point b, it’s in my best interest to maintain it, it just doesn’t feel like We are one person, but two objects put together. I thought I’d start feeling better today. Idk why, it’s been a few days since i started feeling low I guess, and I thought I’d start to be on the rise again. im not it’s more of a jagged path down. Idk where it ends I feel like a panic attack is coming. I’ve never had panic attacks before the pandemic. and then I had 3 last year around may and June. I had another one a few months ago. the fear of experiencing that again is almost enough to send me into one

I'm probably one of those people who flip whenever Christianity is mentioned, but in my defence most of the Christians I know are fucking assholes, so that kind of fucked my view of things. In any case I might read the passage later. c:
