I am becoming quite weary of fighting against the christians. I would like to simply coexist a long side them...they live their lives and I live mine. But, it is becoming increasingly hard to do such. From laws passing that allow teachers to "supplement" science education with religious nonsense...to my parents not respecting my right to raise my daughter differently in regards to religion. I can't even allow my daughter to spend the weekend with them without them forcing pentecostal philosophy down her throat. She comes home regurgitating that nonsense and I have to try and explain that that is her grandparents beliefs and not mine...and so, it does not have to be hers. They get onto her for wearing toenail polish...they tell her that "god" gave her her long hair so that she will not ask for it to be cut. They tell her pants are for boys and makeup is for whores.

I'm so very tired of it. I'm surrounded by fairy believing idiots that do not respect my boundaries. I could blow up...I could lose it. This is not who I am though, I am usually cool, calm & collective. I like to stay mellow. I'm normally very passive and hate drama. Is now the time to change? Or should I remain myself and try to peacefully work this out? Christians do not know peace...they hate it. They say they like it, but their actions scream otherwise. They love war...they look forward to some "end of time" event and they are excited about the thought of millions of people burning in hell. This is messed up! This is psychotic. I can't believe I was one of them...I'm so glad I am not any longer.

It's very hard to stand up to your family when you have been very passive all of your life. Whatever they said went and you rarely questioned, especially on the big questions. I find myself in opposition with them now...on those big questions. This is tough.
