After the assembly

[cheer_leader]

[...] Is anyone here [...] Catholic Religious?

[Warded to Miguel]

Can we talk?

Comments

[phin]

I worship the chaotic void.

[cheer_leader]

is that real What does that mean?

[phin]

I'm not religious.

Think I would've made rather a good druid back in the day, though, for the fun of it. What an aesthetic.

[cheer_leader]

I'm going to make eggplant parmesan and then dance away my feelings the calories.

Wanna come?

[norush]

Not really. I mean, I went to youth group when I was a kid. And I go to early service with my Grandma on Sundays when I'm home, but that's mostly because we all go to Marie Callender's after. You know, like for pie and stuff.

[cheer_leader]

Food is important in the bonding experience.

[...] So you had no [...] issues with the content of the assembly?

[norush]

Oh, heck yeah. That's why people always say that the can feel God in Chili's, right? Because churches meet there all the time, so He's like, really into it.

Haha, it was all right, I guess. Way more intense than at my old school. We usually just had the sticky tape lady.

[cheer_leader]

I can make better food then that. At our church we do potlucks! It's so good. I'm making food now, if you want to try!

She's at least more [...] appropriate.

[gonnabefamous]

I wouldn't put a capital letter on it for myself, but I guess so.

Cameron + Concordia

[cheer_leader]

It's just [...] that assembly. It was [...] immoral, wasn't it?

Cameron + Concordia

[gonnabefamous]

Immoral? W Ah. I don't think I'm the right sort of religious. Lowercase r and all. I guess I'm more Baptist flavored agnostic, all in all. Personally, I think if someone's up there, they're more concerned with whether we're kind to each other than whether we're having sex. But I can't tell you what to believe.

Either way, I don't think it's wrong to be informed. It's not like we watched porn, and even if you want to wait until marriage, you'll still need to know a lot of that stuff, you know?

Cameron + Concordia

[cheer_leader]

I guess I never thought about it like that. As useful for the future, I mean. I still think

Like, it says we shouldn't
God does care about kindness but they taught us we can't

You've given me something to think about. That's kind of what Marie said, too. It was useful stuff but then she talked about

Thanks. I just [...] not many people here are religious or anything and I didn't know who to ask.

[odder]

Death is our only true god

[cheer_leader]

[...]

[...]

[...] [...] [...]

I'm sorry you feel that way.

[taxation_is_theft]

amen

[taxation_is_theft]

lmao

[cheer_leader]

Why is that funny?

[taxation_is_theft]

seems like a weird day to ask that

Got something you need to talk bout?

[cheer_leader]

I didn't know how else to ask?

Not with you No I'm good, thank you.

Miqui & GORDITA

[colitaderana]

[...]

...what about.

Miqui & GORDITA

[cheer_leader]

The assembly. And [...] premarital intimacy.

Re: Miqui & GORDITA

[colitaderana]

[...]

que quieres preguntarme?

Dia/Ennis

[sheepish]

Are you okay, Dia?

Dia/Ennis

[cheer_leader]

Not really? I'm really really confused and I feel guilty.

Dia/Ennis

[sheepish]

Confusion is understandable, but I don't think you need to feel guilty. You haven't done anything wrong.

I'm not Christian, exactly, but my mother's side of the family are Baptists. My father raised me on [...] some flavor of Paganism but I've been to my grandparents' church enough to understand the culture and belief system.

I know that the assembly felt like it was promoting premarital sex, but they have such a large audience and I think they just want to make sure everyone is safe if they do choose to engage in that. It's better to be informed and prepared, I think? For if or when it does happen? But it's still your choice to make. The choice to abstain is a valid one and nobody will think less of you for sticking by your beliefs.

I don't think it should have been mandatory, but I understand why they made us attend.
