What a buzz kill...

Wow.  It's different when you actually see the note.  Screw common sense. Just go for it.

I feel like I have something great to offer, something that has filled my life with happiness and made me a better person, something that gives my life meaning.Ã,  To me, it's only natural I'd want to share the thing that has brought me such joy with others.Ã,  If it doesn't bring them the same happiness, that's fine.Ã,  To me, it's not a matter of recruiting to build up numbers.Ã,  It's about sharing something I value very highly.Ã, 

Sounds like me trying to get my friends to listen to they might be giants and chicks on speed!

I don't see what all the fuss is about. Really, I don't.

Just go to church once. It's one day in your life, and you'll be there for about an hour and a half at the absolute most (unless it's some 6-hour long Worhsip thing for some strange reason). She obviously knows you're not Christian, and if she's in your class then she knows (to an extent) what you're like. She knows you don't act all God-like and Holy, so she won't be expecting you to act that way. If she's genuinely interested in you, she'll just be glad you made the effort to come along. And if she's a fraud - whooppee - you missed out on ONE morning (or evening) of your life.

Just go to see if she's for real or not, and let things happen from there.

Religion is a commodity.  Bought and sold.  From the beggining.  It's clear we created God in our OWN image, just to give us some kind of cosmic reason for existance and rules for living.  However, some things in this universe are just too mysterious and great for us to know, and how can we be SO egocentric to think we have ONE IOTA of an inkling on how the creator, or God, works.  We don't, and if you do - you're nucking futs.

You've forgotten that this is about a girl dude. There's no need for a rant against religion as a whole.

[MrColossal]

Yea, let's get back on topic please

anyway...

Blender sucks.

[shbaz]

Clever, Eric.  :

I just thought avoiding the discussing of religion vs. atheism was a good idea.

How did it go anyways Hyde?

[MrColossal]

it was a joke, LOL and all that

I would also not want an arguement that this board has seen oh so many times but i wasn't attacking you, just poking fun

[Nine Toes]

Yeah, I was kinda unsure about starting this thread, as I didn't want it to turn into a jihad flamewar.  It's like the old man in the movie Big Fish said, "Religion is something you should never talk about in public, because someone's always going to get offended."  But so far, so good.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand.  I haven't stopped over to talk to her yet.  I still have another week before I go back to work, and then yet another week before I get paid.  She lives two towns over from me, in Iola.  That's a bit of a haul seeing as I'm broke as a joke.  That and I'm busy packing up my stuff, I'll be moving out on my own in a few weeks.

You're probably wondering, "why not just call her?"  Like Colossal said, it'd be more personal if I were to stop over and talk to her in person.  Plus, I don't have her number...

So right now, there's nothing I can do.  I guess all I can do is sit and twiddle my thumbs for the time being.  I know that's probably not the best idea, especially since I would like to get to know her.  Because once I finally get paid in 2 weeks, she could have found another guy she's interested in and forgotten all about me (or have thought that I wasn't interested).  But... hey hey, what can I do?

wtf? I don't recall defending religion at all in my post. I just said "go to church to get a girl". That sounds pretty un-related to your comment to me. But, without starting a flame war, I'd ask you to actually study the beliefs of all religions before you make a gigantic generalization like "christians claim to know how God works". Fact is, we don't. And we admit it.

Anyway, Hyde, good luck with it. If she was interested enough to invite you to church (a gesture which could easily offend people) it's unlikely she'll forget about you quickly, so you've still got a chance

[Femme Stab Mode >:D]

Just phone her to say hi.

OH CRAP

I should read closer...
