Conversation with Michelle

Categories: Religion

[I have no idea what I said in my last letter to this girl, but for a time I was into pen pals (before the Internet) and usually in one of the first couple letters, we'd get around to discussing hobbies, interests, likes/dislikes, and opinions. So obviously I said something that bugged this girl, since this note is all I received back.]

I'm sorry, but I can't write to you anymore, because I'm a Christian and you are into New Age. I just don't think it would work out writing to each other.

[Yup, obviously this kid accepts everyone with open arms and no judgment as is supposed to be the Christian way. Although I must say it's possible this kid's mom reads her mail and forced her to answer me like that. Who knows.]

Mikey: Sometimes people are so closed-minded, it really is sad that something like religion can separate us in the ways that it does, I would think that it would be most beneficial to accept and learn from our fellow man and try to have understanding but I guess it just proves that the world is not ready for understanding on this level well that's her loss.

Anonymous: People are so closed-minded aren't they!? Christians are so far from their beliefs sometimes it's quite funny. They're supposed to be accepting when really, give them a minute with a pagan or another religion and their faces will turn white. A woman around here even hates Catholics and thinks they're a cult!
Anyway, here's an email somewhat similar to this one, only a different subject:
"Listen, I'm Sorry if it hurts u, but I really need to say that, I'm a pure male as I told that u! I can't talk to Bi-sexuals or gays or even lesbians. Sorry!"
