Second Verse, same as the first..
So yeah. I'm working in a Christian school. A very Christian school. A evangelical 'if you are gay or sinful or don't accept Jesus as your ONE TRUE SAVIOR you are going to Hell!!!' Christian school. o.O What. Was. I. Thinking?
Seriously, the things I've seen and heard here? I'm surprised there aren't holes in the walls from the amount of times I've wanted to bash my head against it. These are people who don't allow their teenagers to date because breaking up with a boyfriend is "the same as getting a divorce". WHAT??? One of the things I HATE is the curriculum here. They use this curriculum called ABeka which is basically English, Math, Science, etc for Christians. I am not kidding. I was flipping through my 6th graders spelling book the other day and came across a future spelling list that had the words atheist and polytheistic. The example sentences? "Even though an atheist denies God, God still loves him and wants to save him." and "Zeus, Mercury, and Athena were just a few of the many false gods worshiped by the polytheistic Greeks and Romans." o.o Just what. And then just the other day, I was subbing for the middle school science teacher for a period in which the 7th graders just had to read out loud. They were talking about cellular respiration. In the middle of the section on alcoholic fermentation, they slipped in a Bible lesson. In Science! They were using a very stupid metaphor about the way yeast works by saying something to the effect of 'Sin can spread throughout the church just as easily.' and I had to strain myself from chucking the book across the room. And this was fucking SCIENCE! *headdesk x a million*
In better news, Busch Gardens' Howl-o-Scream was very much fun though it didn't have as much as KD (which Chris and I will be going to this weekend). They had a fairy tale themed maze which was freaking awesome.
Speaking of scary things, Silent Hill Origins is really good if you haven't tried it. Chris and I tried playing the Room, but I wasn't impressed at all, so I was glad for the return of the original format. Though the character is much easier to control this time. Also we've been pondering going to the dark side and purchasing a 360 just because the new Portal game will only be for Xbox. >.<
In other other news, just to make things even more difficult, Caity (my sister) is dating a guy named Chris. So if we ever all get together sometime in the future, it will turn into a Chris convention of sorts. Anyway, almost time for my English class. (Fun times...) I may come back and add more since I haven't updated this in forever.

Think of it this way: at least somewhere in this world there is a Sunday School teacher (*cough* me *cough*) who slips in pro-evolution, pro-gay, pro-acceptance of all faiths and creeds messeges. So yea... the place where you are working is like the anti-my sunday school class, but bigger. And, you know, evil.
>.>
What I'm saying is that you are working for the devil.
Oh, also, is that a yes on the TSO up here, or were you gonna go to a Richmond show?
Also also, Richmond Zombie Walk is Oct. 25, will your brains be present?
Yes Ninja our brains will indeed be present. I was thinking about going as a "victim" but she said that was for someone of experience, which makes sense. Christopher, Chris and Kristin (Mel's older sister), wow well that's the Richmond Chris convention and then there's the DC Chris convention, Chris and new Chris. akkk why do you think I tried to get the kids to call me "Rick" when I was in school.
Oh! and we will be going to the TSO.
Is it wrong that the only thing I can think of is "I wonder how ABeka teaches existentialism?"
...
*ponders*
Don't forget our pet rat, Hobo-Chris.
I... I don't know what to say. That's just... scary. Talk about social programming to the max. O_o And we wonder why there is so much stupid running around the country.
I wasn't made aware of the zombie walk. T_T
I is out of the lop.
O_o
Loop, also.
WoW. What a weird school. I know when i went to private christian school they always had something to do with god in a lesson, but nothing like that.
