Had the car today so I got to and home from school super quick.
Such is the luxury of not walking and waiting for buses.
~
My friend told me he had good news to tell me during the lecture yesterday. Said it concerned me and I will be very happy to hear it. But we were both pre-occupied with the lecture so he only began when we were walking to the bus stop.
It was about Christianity.
Now I don't like it when people go around preaching, but I don't mind talking about religion, unlike typicals who view Religion as taboo.
He said it would only take 5minutes, but we ended up standing at the bus stop (away from the rest) for one hour talking about it. He was telling me about the story and I was asking questions, and we touched on science versus religion, fact versus fiction, and so on.
He was really passionate, unlike his normal passive self. But I could see at times he began to feel frustrated, and he later apologised for seemingly trying to force me into conversion. He got a little worked up, and expressing his concern that I might go to hell and he didn't want that to happen.
And then he cried.
Red eyed and teary. I couldn't believe it. I told him to calm down which he did and he apologised again. In the end he said that I am "safe" because I believe that there is a God looking at us, regardless of which religion I believe in.
It's kinda difficult to write out what I want to say I guess. Religion IS something deep. There's no right or wrong, true of false, because nobody knows. What I don't appreciate about people is not being able to accept other people's ideas.
Right now as I type my mind is getting confused again. All these thoughts. All these weird things floating in my brain.
I just hope he looks at me the same way as I do him, and that the episode we had together will not affect our friendship.
~
He passed me a pamphlet, regarding the upcoming movie, The Passion of the Christ., directed by Mel Gibson. I told him I have plans to watch it because of my curiousity and ignorance about the religion. He told me that's great, and that some church organisation (via a website) is giving out free tickets for non-churchgoers. All I have to do is click on which day and time I want and I get it free.
Screening on 1,2,3 April @ Cinesleisure and Plaza Singapura.
Anyone interested give me a buzz and I'll tell you how.
