Glad you're back! I missed this story! All the stories I've subscribed to haven't updated as frequently, so I've been forced to study for finals and not procrastinate on my homework.
Anyway, I'm anxious to know what's up with Patrick, and I definitely can't wait until Pete comes into the story. Sounds like it'll be insane!
I love the Patrick-Hayden-Videl dynamic. It's kind of cute but then kind of heart wrenching. Idk if you paralleled Videl-Patricia on purpose, but I think it's very fitting, seeing as Videl is almost becoming a mother figure. I think it's good for her. I think she's "chilled out" or "calmed down" a lot because of watching Hayden. Dude I ship that so hard. I think adding Videl to the mix has been good for all three characters. Keep up the fantastic work dearest!
@ Nipo I understand your views love but this chapter actually comes from personal experience, I have has people who call themselves Christians say this to me, and i have been to many churces; nondenom, baptist and catholic. And my problem, please understand, is not with the church, but people who read only what they want to from the bible. I'm not saying it's full of lies, I just think the way people interpret it can be wrong. Just like with anything in life, people can look at the same thing and see different things. And I am mainly talking about the Old Testament, which if you read this article http://www.humanistsofutah.org/2002/WhyCantIOwnACanadian_10-02.html it explains what I'm talking about. I'm going to be posting a blog talking about this further cause I kind of didn't want to force this to be a subject about religion for people who just want to read my story.
@ lady_enigma I'm pure Catholic.... <.< But, I'm not dissing you for your views and I'm not calling you a "worthless sinner" I don't think I've heard ANYONE EVER say that to anybody in the churches I go to...It's not necessarily a cult...I don't think ANYTHING is a cult....they are just beliefs... I believe in Heaven and Hell, the Devil and Jesus and God and Moses. I mean, there had to be SOME people 2000 years ago, right? I know a lot of the stuff in the Bible is probably wrong, other than the Letters from and to, because it's just written down from recollection. Everybody in my church knows they are sinners, and they just want to help and wipe away the sins they committed that week. They get a "clean slate" after every time they go to church, I believe. I go to this one church...it's kind of scary. It's got "Fear God" "Going to Hell" in stain glass...A little creepy, but I don't really pay attention to that. Pagan gods were worshiped, and got sacrifices. But so did my God, so I'm not saying anything about that. Molech demanded child sacrifices. @ Videl I kinda had issues reading that chapter because of the lies...No one says "worthless sinners" "you'll go to Hell" that crap. They might say "You are all sinners" but they're not worthless. Everybody commits sins to help, so they aren't worthless. Not all Pagan Gods are nice and happy. Kali was evil. I absolutely HATE it when people try to force others to join their religion... I've had atheism forced down my throat. I hate it.
ugh christianity. The biggest cult of them all. They really really piss me off and I mean really and you've got me going now so it's going to be hard to stop. But someone I know the other day told me I was going to hell for being a member of the pagan cult. Really? I'm sorry, but who preaches to everyone and stands in streets shouting you are all worthless sinners, all unclean and are all going to hell, unless you bla bla fucking bla? Christians, thats right, christians. They damn cults all the time yet they are the biggest cult themselve. It's a religion based on fear and tearing a persons self esteem apart, then brainwashing them into believing if they worship a fake being that they will go to heaven. Sorry all you Jesus freaks out there but that's cult behaviour. honestly, biggest bunch of contradictions and hypocrites in the world. Now as for one saying im a member of the pagan cult. I'm sorry but the last time I checked, pagans were a happy, loving and welcoming bunch of people who use no scare tactics AT ALL. I would also just like to add that I am not pagan but I feel most at ease around my pagan friends... especially when its at a camp and the men all seem to revert back to cavemen figuring things out, its hilarious and fun. And everyone is safe and happy, away from all of the christians telling everyone they're going to hell. (which I might add, doesnt exist) Sorry but the people in this chapter don't deserve to have Videl in their lives, they don't deserve anyone if all they're going to do is force their ridiculous beliefs upon her. My best friend had that done to him and it led him to do something drastic. Videl needs to get out of that freaks house and soon
:) I was wondering who Natalie was. I like the name a lot though. I think it's kind of nice that they actually get along with one another now, especially after the bathroom scene. I think if Videl does try to set Andy and NAt together of some way would be totally cute but possibly a ton of drama. I'm still sad about poor Videl thinking Maryann will hate her so quickly though. :( Looking forward to the next part!
Hi I pROMISE I won't >.< forgive me. I promise more frequent updates.
