when people say g**damn. it's SOO SAD! and people don't even realize how bad it is. it's like nothing to them.. just like saying fuck as if it were an adjective to each and every word of the american language.
apparently, it's like this latest expression that everybody uses. it's irritating. like this morning, i had to take the bus and these 2 black guys were way too loud at the back talking (normally, i suppose). i don't know, normally, i wouldn't care when people around me cuss like no other, but they were way loud.. loud enough for everybody to hear.
i like my mornings calm, thank you very much.
anyways, that's besides the point. the point i'm trying to make is that those 2 loud guys in the bus this morning were conversing about religion in general. can you imagine holy spirit and g**damn being used in the same sentence? neither can i. i've never heard those words in the same sentence and have never imagined anyone would, until this day.
honestly, i couldn't even make out of what they were talking about at first cuz they were talking too fast for me to comprehend. i just kept hearing God at first and how this guy is supposedly wise for knowing all there is to know about God. so, i'm just like, wow y'know people usually avoid that topic in public these days because other people are intolerant. but yeah, i'm just like good for you guys being able to talk about how you feel about God.
so then, i started toeavesdrop pay more attention to what they were talking about. i heard that one guy wondering why people of different races had different languages. and wondering why God didn't just have us talk in one language so we could understand each other.
i was just like thinking, okay.. this guy is wack. is he sure he reads the bible? cuz i could've sworn (even though i haven't the read the bible for a loooooooong time) that there is a story somewhere there that explains and answers his questions.
and then, the topic got weirder and weirder by the secont. it seems to me, or what i've got out of their conversation is that their belief of God's blessings are for all the wrong reasons. It almost feels like they solely believe in God because of the secular things they get. it's weird. i don't want to judge them.. i'm sure i'm not. i just can't stand it when he was talking about something. it was about being in the presence of the Lord. that he saw this burning fire but when he touches it, it wasn't even hot and it didn't seem like fire to him and then he went on ranting about whatever he was talking about. then, this other guy agrees and then the main guy goes, g**damn i'm so wise. on top of that, he seems like he's preaching but in every other word, you would hear it being accompanied by shit, motherfucker, motherfuckinshit and all those other cuss words.
my whole 15-minute bus ride was a disaster. i wanted so bad to go up to the guy and say, "you ought to be ashamed of yourself talking about actually being in the presence of God but here you are using the Lord's name in vain." i never had the guts to though, one: i don't even know the dude, two: i don't want him to think that i'm being righteous and everything and three: i didn't want things to get ugly. i don't like arguing about religion, so, i didn't even bother meddling into whatever they believe in.
now, i'm just like mad. i shouldn't even bother wasting my energy on this but how dare that guy. the saddest part is that he doesn't even realize it. poor guy.
ps. i know i cuss, so i shouldn't even say anything. but that's only when i'm really steaming mad at something or someone (and it take A LOT to make me mad). and you should've heard this guy.. he wasn't even in a fight or anything. just hearing what he was saying (that seemed for eternity) was just taking in to another level. he has no respect or whatsoever to God's name.
