Yes, as a Christian, I'm trying so hard to control you. *yawn*
Believe what you wish. Nobody's holding a gun to your head. As for chilling out, I'm about as chilled as I can get. I don't know you, and am not even mildly curious about why you've come to the conclusion that all Christians behave in a certain stereotyped manner.
Given your previous question about popping blackheads, I'm assuming that you're rather young. About 12, in fact, as stated in your question about wanting to get your ears pierced (or as you spelled it, earsperce).
Figure out what, if anything, you believe, and work from there. Do the studying. Research why you believe it, or why you don't. If you honestly don't know, then stop wasting your time criticizing strangers, and hit the books.
May the peace of God be with you.
See? I can say "God", too. And without the caps lock.

If I understood your statement, your saying your grandmother and your mother are constantly taking sides against everything you say. Especially when you say "God"
I do think that they should be more gentle about encouragement, but life would be a whole lot easier for you if you just minded your P's and Q's while around them.
It's called respect, whether they deserve it or not you will feel much better if you give it. Usually in life, those who give respect first will be respected in return.
Enjoy them, learn what they think, get involved with what they are involved in. Not only will you gain much more freedom, you will gain the trust of your parent, and that is something that is invaluable.

Sounds like a statement not a question. Hate is too powerful of an emotion to waste on someone you don't even like. In fairness Christians are not the only ones who would impose their values on others.

I am a Christian, and I am "allowed" to say the word God. You are misinterpreting this, it is said that you are not allowed to take the name of the Lord in vain.
It is quite pitiful when someone tries to make a point by using the name of God incorrectly but cannot spell correctly in order to get the point across.
I hope that your misspelled and sad rant made you feel better.
God bless you, you need his help for many reasons.

there is nothing wrong with saying GOD or JESUS or CHRIST or HOLY .It's how you say it. whoever uses the LORD's name in vain will not be held blameless, and whoever makes fun of the HOLY GHOST will be punished .It's real simple if you need to curse do so without these words who cares it wouldn't be blasphemy.
The important question is why do you want to use GOD's name in this fashion? you could just as easily make your point with any word by simply altering your tone. So look to yourself, as to why you must not honor your parents, in such a small request. Has music or movies or your friends brainwashed you beyond controlling what words you use?
Each person will be known by what they have to say, how will you be known?

Hahahaha - I understand your point of view. It depends on where you reside. I was raised on Long Island and moved to NC aka the Bible Belt. People here take their religion very seriously, whereas where I'm from I didn't know anyone who went to church. BTW "i" before "e" accept after "c" : D

I do believe Christians need to respect other people in what they want to believe and do with their lives, the whole idea of giving money in a church to the church so they get rich is so wrong its a joke.

You used the correct word, "religion". That is exactly what it is. Christianity is what I'm speaking of.
There is ONLY one God, The Lord Jesus Christ himself, and where he truly is there is liberty amongst the people.
There is ONLY one Gospel, that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, went to hell for 3 days, and rose again!
That is the Gospel and there is no other.
I will not apologize to you or any others that disagree with that statement, because it is the Biblical truth.
And no, I'm not mad. Just telling you the truth you never heard before. BELIEVE THE GOSPEL!!

Is OK, I am not like that, I believe everyone has the right to believe as they choose and no one has the right to force you.
I was never forced but I knew plenty who were and I saw how it turned them against God.
