      Not sure how old 4th grade is, but I’d have been about 6 or 7 when Amanda Jackson told me I couldn’t borrow her colouring pencils because I didn’t believe in Jesus. We’re in the UK, it’s not like it’s even such a huge thing over here, and joke’s on her anyway because in the end the teacher ruled that she had to share.

      Screw you Amanda. Never forget.

      Why do you assume all religious people think the way she does? Isn’t that painting with a broad brush just like she did?

        Probably.

        Should I do better with my thought process on it? Probably.

        Please do note, though, I said that was my first introduction. I’ll let you guess how many more instances it took before I learned to keep my mouth shut and not reveal my non-belief under any circumstances.

      The proper response to that is “At least I’ll be in good company.”

      Joke’s on her anyway. I’d say she’s going to be disappointed when she dies, but she won’t be anything.
