The other day Synnøve and myself heard our first knock ont he door of our new home. Synnøve and i are trying to prove that our Little Red Brickhouse is not a mad house, and then we open the door, me in my pyjamas and Synnøve with a towel around her head...
Lane "Hi"
People "Hello"
Lane "I'm sorry, I'm in my Pj's"
People "That's ok, we are here to try to bring out the message that God cares and that you will find the answers in the bible, it all sais there why he sometimes might seem unfair.."
Synnøve "Who are you?"
Jehova witnesses "We are Jehovas Witness"
Synnøve "Though so.."
Just to make one thing clear, I don't mind people and their belif, but when belief comes knocking on the door, I sometimes struggle to stand there and handle it all daisies...
I was honest with them and said straight out "Well, hey, I'm more of an atheist, I believe in people, culture and politics..."
I felt so rude, like a right little brat when I sometimes could help myself from strangeling a little giggle bursting trough my trought.
We got a alittle folder/leaflet whith the main topics of
- Does god really care?
- Will war and suffering ever end?
- What happens to us when we die?
- Is there hope for the dead?
-How shall I pray to make God hear me
and
- How can I have a really happy life?
So we stood there on the steps, door wide open discussing some of these statements briefly, I didn't dare to invite them in. They allready knew that i was the type of teenager that drinks, I was able to spill that, but the whole lounge was trashed after a party earlier that weekend and I was not about to let them see that!
Anyways, my plan from now on is reading and thinking about one subject at the time and writing it here on my all to lonely and parched for some proper writing, blog..
