I judged a 'Gentile'

So today I was having a discussion with a friend that I tried to explain was not really something you should talk about over an Instant Message, since you can't tell someones tone of voice, or meaning behind the words but he insisted so I had the conversation anyways. Lets see... last time I checked I had the right to have my own opinions about religion, am I right?? OK so I made a joke about being a 'good boy' in the Church, this is the reaction I got back..
"so only good people are in the church, and so everyone else is bad? you Mormons"
um... oh you thought I meant you aren't a good boy because you don't go to church, No actually that was a joke, hence the sarcasm and the reason I didn't want to have this conversation on IM after I explained this to him he came back with
" i am more spiritual than most Mormons i know
i pray, meditate, and do charity work far beyond 99% of Mormons i know
sorry i don't mean to harp on you, i just though you were much better and more intelligent than to make rash generalizations and assumptions about the "gentiles" "
I was so frustrated that he would not even try to think that maybe I really wasn't trying to judge him and I simply made a joke that I finally apologized that I was sorry that he took my joke as a judgement but I didn't mean to offend him by it. And then I got off line. Well I guess I'm just the same as the rest of the damn Mormons going around judging every one and hating on people cus they don't believe the same things I do. Hmm... but I think by his comment of "you Mormons" would make him the one making judgements and not me... am I right??

there is my vent session for the day... coming later the cute little centipede that I found at work today :)

in a nutshell...

This is something that my darling boyfriend posted on his facebook and said 'this is me in a nutshell' should I be worried??



"An Infantryman is a Soldier all his life even if only for a few years of that life. He is a magical creature. You can kick him out of your house but not out of your heart. You can take him off your mailing list but not off your mind. Soldiers are found everywhere... in love...in battle... in lust... in trouble...in debt...in bars and ... behind them.

No one can write so seldom and yet think so much of you. No one else can get so much enjoyment out of a letter or clean clothes or a six pack.

An infantryman is a genius with a deck of cards. A millionaire without a cent and brave without a grain of sense. HE IS THE PROTECTOR OF AMERICA! When he wants something, it's usually 30 days leave, music that hurts the ears, a five dollar bill...or a woman he can count on.

Girls love them, mothers tolerate them, fathers brag about them, the government pays them, the police watch out for them and somehow they all work together. You can beat their bodies, but not their minds. You can tame their hearts, but not their souls. He likes girls, chow, females,dip, women,alcohol, ladies, did I say alcohol?, and the opposite sex.

Infantrymen dislike small checks, working weekends, answering letters, waking up, maintaining a uniform, and the day before payday. You may as well give in. An Infantryman is your long distance lover... they are your steely-eyed, warm-smiling, blank-minded, hyper-active, over-reacting, curious, passionate, talented, spontaneous, physically fit, good for nothing bundle of worry....."





This is my ' hyper-active, good for nothin bundle of worry' that I love!!
