day one o four. and i'll gladly sin again.
another conversation with the same little girl from yesterday...
"are you christian?" she asks.
"no," i reply.
"well, what are you then?" her inquisitive little mind racing.
"i'm nothing."
silence.
"you HAVE to be something," she demands.
"do i?"
the conversation goes on and i tell her that i believe in all things holy and sacred. that i know god exists in everything around us and i have massive respect for anyone that's deeply rooted in ANY belief system. mine's just different.
she asks me if i believe in "jesus christ, our lord and savior". i tell her that i do believe a man of his caliber existed.
then, she starts talking about how i should be grateful because he died for all of our horrible sins. that human beings are careless and imperfect. they need to be good and do what the bible says or they'll "go somewhere they really don't want to go when they die".
of course, she couldn't wrap her brain around the logic bomb i *wanted* to drop and i didn't want to disrespect any of her teachings, so i politely changed the subject.
