blah! even my mom. i never realized how much pressure there is in this world to be religious. so many religious wars, crusades, everything. geez. it's like a never ending battle with people. i mean i understand how it is a religious person's duty to try and convert someone, but still. don't force it upon them, the way my parents do. blah. religion is something that the person chooses. it's like buying a house, a lifetime investment. you can't really just jump in without knowing the details. all a religious person can do is aide the other person when they have questions. it's ok to express a concern, but at the same time understand where the person is coming from. it takes effort from both people to make things work.
