Weird work scheduel today. I don't go in untl 6 pm and only work four-and-a-half hours. So I'm taking advantage of the afternoon. Since it's payday I've mailed off this week's batch of bills. Today I paid off one of the bills that's in collection. It was the smallest one but it still feels like real progress and everything else looks slightly less overwhelming in comparison. Although I still feel stressed since my next payday doesn't fall until two days after my car payment is due and I don't have any way to pay it before then. Should be okay but I hate drawing their scrutiny.

Driving around today is giving me a chance to listen to Epica's "Design Your Universe" album in full. Feels good.

I quit [livejournal.com profile] christianity for good last night since it fills me with anger far more regularly than it ever does love for Christ. Far too many regular commenters in that community would be more honest if they began all their statements with "Papa Smurf says" and ended them with "...and Papa Smurf is always right." If I'm going to be in a community with a bunch of loudmouthed pedagogues who just like to sit around and agree with each other I at least want it to be one where I share the majority opinion.

Time to leave the library and get back to work. Have a job to go apply for.

I'm just sick of being talked down to there. I can get that anywhere.

I left that community long ago. I just couldn't stand the drama and hypocrisy. Which is the same reason I've left church. I enjoy Bible study and deep meaningful discussions rather than being preached at and being forced to observe a show "for Christ." Which is why I consider myself to be far more spiritual than religious.

Whatever purpose that community served in my life, it's done now. It's drama I don't need.

I'm sorry, but reading "Papa Smurf says" and "Papa Smurf is always right" in this context made me crack up and has made my afternoon.

My comment here would be longer, but I'm rushing out for a walk with friends :)

Hugs!

Sometime we grow beyond a group we used to love. It happens.

Glad you know it is the group not the Faith you dislike. Some people forget to separate those no matter the spiritual belief system.

Many do and I hope I'm never like that.
