Yeah, I'm still a Christian (who wears shorts, uses Google, and listens to the Beatles), but it certainly was interesting.
And, by the way, according to the Bible (which your dad and stepmom seem to be big on), it's considered adultry to re-marry after being divorced. And you can really only divorce someone in the case of marital unfaithfulness. Not to meddle in your family affairs, but that just made me 'lol' so hard.
I had another post on my beliefs - I don't have any issues with Christians, just with people telling me my own beliefs are wrong. Sorry if it came off as offensive.
Aren't there many other marriage laws in the Bible, though, that no one listens to today?
Well, the marriage laws are still adhered to by the church. Like, if you get divorced your second marriage won't be recognised by the church, and can't be held in a church. Unless your first marriage is just a state marriage which isn't recognised by the church anyway.
Well, that depends on if you go to a really strict church. Of course, if you can't wear shorts or use Google, I think it's safe to say that we're speaking of a really strict church.
In case you guys haven't noticed me complaining about it, I'm being sent to Belize for eight weeks on a mission trip.
They're really strict there...
NO shorts (and it's a tropical climate...WTF?)
NO secular music (they can't comprehend the awesomeness of the Beatles)
NO dancing (it's Satanic!)
NO playing cards (we might gamble away family fortunes!)
NO books (they're a "distraction")
Did I mention that I'm not even exactly Christian?
anyway, I'm going to need you guys to send me letters to keep me sane. You can email me at
10014sedwards-thro@lordsbootcamp.org
Please remember that I have to pay 25 cents for every message you send me so try not to write too many and try to write really long ones...no one-sentence emails! (and yes I know most of you are thinking "OOOH I'm gunna spam her" but seriously the more money I spend on emails the less I have for souvenirs for you guys!)
There's also an address you can mail letters to me with...but I don't have it at the moment so I'll try to send something next morning before I leave.
When you email me (with the camp address) please also tell me your address so I can write you a letter!
Here's my blog, where you can check up every week to see what's going on (and find out if I'm able to overcome my intense desire to murder everyone...)
