Re: Re: Classic styling killer clothes

Im happy he beat heroin, but sad we can no longer be friends.

That's like the saddest statement I've heard all week, maybe month. You seriously stopped being his friend because he found some purpose in his life? Were you his dealer, or was it his decision? If it were any other religion (muslim, buddhism, atheism) would you have cut ties too?

I don't know how I got roped into the religious aspect of this topic but feel I need to respond since I was referenced a couple times in replies. Without turning this thread into a religious debate further, it should be clear I have no problem with any religion and personally I don't partake for several reasons of my own. The only expectations I appreciate from the worshiping types is to not preach and condemn everyone else, save the judgment for your savior/God, stay out of our government, politics and public schools and practice what you preach. A majority of the born again christian group seems to have forgotten these virtues in the last few years. Religion is a right and a choice not requirement. But I beleive everyone is entitled to follow who they wish without justification from me or anyone else, the respect should be mutual. That said, there are many good religious organizations and people who do a lot of good for others and that is admirable. To each their own. There is good and bad in everything, without it how would you know the difference? Good luck on your sales and good for you to pursue what makes you happy no matter how challenging.

Only going by what I read, I think the cutting of ties was based on the behavior rather than the religion. I can relate, I had to quit a job once due to a Jehovah witness co-worker. I made the mistake of saying Merry Christmas and was quickly corrected of his beliefs. It went on for weeks until I had just about heard enough. I found another job. Never raised an issue over it because I thought doing so would only ultimately reflect badly on me and my employment record in some way. Was better to let it be and move on. Where I work now, nearly everyone in the company is born again and prayer takes place before every meeting, and most holidays are observed, I don't participate in some by choice. However the understanding was established early on that they are that type of company and that I am not, so its never been an issue as we all respect each other. Every situation is unique and you can't base a religion on one negative experience. I'll shut up now.

I didnt cut ties due to his beliefs. I cut him due to his behaviour, it was too much to handle. My best friend for years was a practicing christian. Its the attitudes and holy bigotry my other friend adopted that drives me nuts.

Oh and fuck you opticz for implying I was his dealer. I dont do that shit and I certainly dont poison my community with it. Thats a really fucked up thing to say. What kind bullshit is that? Ive watched some of my friends completely ruin their lives with drugs, others have died in the past few months. I would never EVER support that shit.


Fuck you!

Sorry if I offended you, I made some assumptions, I just can't figure why someone would cut ties because they became a Christian.

If joining a religion helped him quit heroin, I would think you'd be happy for him. You probably initially were, but it sounds like he went way far off the deep end with religion. Hopefully he hasn't drank some funky punch.

Again, sorry if mt comment upset you, it wasn't my intention.

Yeah thats pretty much what happened. He always was into the Jesus stuff, and that was cool but off the deep end he went. Sorry to have hijacked this post aBHeRacer. Props to you for your clothes and commitment.

And thanks for the apology OpTiCz.
