Metaphysical beings.

Once again I feel the need to talk about a certain religious issue that seems to affect me too much than what my emotional storage can hold. I'll try to be tactful but no offense meant, boys and girls.

Woke up by a call earlier from a friend. I looked at my handphone and the caller id displays a certain friend's name, whom I shall call El.

Argh as eerie as it sounds, as I typed that last line he called again! O.o

So El called twice and I didn't pick up. Because as far as I know, El is an evangelist, which is defined by me as preaching a certain religion, known as Christianity. If you have read some of the posts about him, or this religious issue, I get very emotionally strained when I'm in contact with these people. They keep making me think of ways to reject them, and I've do it without hurting their feelings. Just to remind you El cried at the end of our 1 hour talk last year about this topic. 'Cos I didn't wanna do a little prayer with him and say Amen. Or something like that.

I hate to say this again and again, but I'm evading from El as much as I can. It helps that I'm super observant and well, he's not. So I notice him from afar and opt for another route, much like how primary school kids avoid teachers. It hurts when I think about how our friendship is worsening due to this, but come to think of it, when I talk to him I feel so tense and everything he talks to eventually leads to Christianity and he'll subsequently try to convert me. Sometimes (without offense) I tell myself a friend like this is not a friend at all to begin with. I don't even feel comfortable talking to him.

Ok so I was saying 2 missed calls and a further sms from El, which read:

Trent, I have something very important to say to you. I hope you would let me do so over phone or better yet, in person. It concerns me and you. Nothing else. Please let me know when would be a convenient time to talk. Thanks.

There could be this 0.01% chance that he wanna tell me we both won a trip to the Bahamas, or maybe a 4D3N Las Vegas stay, but I'd say mostly probably it's gonna be about religion. Give him a chance you say? But personally, I'll risk even sharing a million dollars with him than to get into another conversation of his nature. I've already told him (and other likeminded fellows who approach me), that I'm at the point in my life where I don't need and don't want to be involved in a religion. Who knows what happens next. Maybe I'll venture into Buddhism, which is my religion by default, or Christianity, or Islam, or some cult. Right now I don't think so. But I never know. So why rush? Will more Christians in this world make it a better place? No offense again, but I don't think so. I think that if people give up their seats to the old, move their butts to the back of buses instead of clogging up the entrance, let mrt passengers off before boarding, not to spit and litter, etccccccccccc. Now that will make the world a better place. At least in Singapore.

I've made up my mind today that I'm gonna ignore El. Not gonna pick up his calls or reply his smses. I think he will give up trying after today. I hope so. Meeting him in school will be real awkward after that but that will have to be my choice of action now.

Away with the not so happy stuff~~

Those who are at home, don't stare at the screen too long! Bad for eyes!

Those who're at work and reading this, OMG you're my idol! I will pay you 10cents for thinking of me and coming to this site, and risking getting fired. Work hard ok!
