<p>So there's this weird girl in my math class. </p>
<p>She is very nice but she is one of those crazy, overly religious kids who subconciously feels he/she is better than you because they go to church 5 times a week. </p>
<p>Anyway:</p>
<ul>
<li>She brought her bible to school EVERY day.</li>
<li>AND read it!</li>
<li>AND one time, when she thought no one was looking (but I was), she typed "Jesus I love you" in her calculator. </li>
<li>In math class. When she is supposed to be doing math. </li>
<li>How long does it take to type anything in your calculator!!!!</li>
</ul>
<p>And yeah. </p>
<p>Anyway, for some reason my school has loads of these kids. If you went to my school in a random day and say: "Anybody who has a bible in their backpack take it out for 100 extra credit points!" A very, very sizeable chunk would take out their bibles. They bring it eveeeeeeery day. Why? I do not know. </p>
<p>I go to a public school in South Florida. Mostly ghetto. 70% black. </p>
<p>Are people in your school the same? I think it's just downright strange.</p>
<p>"AND one time, when she thought no one was looking (but I was), she typed "Jesus I love you" in her calculator." </p>
<p>lol I can't stand those people, they're so ignorant and close-minded...
Btw, there was this guy in my math class who picked his nose and ate the boogers D:</p>
<p>No, I can't say that's happened at my school. However, I did have some religious people in my English class. They brought up religion a lot of times in the discussions we had.</p>
<p>It's sooooo funny how stone_cutter compared "girl in math class typing 'jesus i love you' in her calculator" with "guy in math class picking his nose and eating the boogers" and decided they belonged in the same category! </p>
<p>Lol, I go to a PRIVATE JESUIT/CATHOLIC SCHOOL with REGULAR MONTHLY MASS and most of the people I know are staunch atheists. It is (purportedly) the best school in our city, if not the entire state, so all the rich, intelligent people go there, so I suppose that the correlation is not unexpected, but it does little to reduce its irony.</p>
<p>Hmm, how ironic. I go to a religious private school and I guarantee there aren't any of these people at my school (probably because our Theology classes are notoriously harder than some AP classes).</p>
<p>People here isn't that bad. The worst they do is proclaim loudly on facebook how much they love jesus so it shows up on your status update thing every freaking day.</p>
<p>Ok, typing "Jesus I love you" in your calculator is quite ridiculous, but stone_cutter-- I don't see how that automatically makes you close-minded and ignorant.
Not that you are necessarily the type, but I absolutely hate it when nonreligious people label all religious people as narrow-minded and ignorant-- bit of a double standard I daresay!!</p>
<p>I wasn't saying that specifically because she typed "jesus i love you" in her calculator, I was responding to the post in general. I only quoted the "typing jesus i love you in calculator" part b/c I though that was the most weird.</p>
<p>One time, some religious organization left like 500 small bibles in the middle of my school. Is it bad that I wanted to draw pictures of Jesus on small pieces of paper, write "Congrats! You have found Jesus" and stuck them in the bibles?</p>
<p>Well, I live in the buckle of the Bible belt, and I've never seen anyone do that... But, everyone is super Christian here, and kind of frown upon non-believers.</p>
<p>I used to type worse things than that in my calculator.</p>
<p>In any case, I don't see how that makes her weird. If she were forcing her beliefs down your throat, perhaps. But it seems as if she's minding her own business.</p>
<p>Oppositely, I was received a failing grade on my paper about Harry Potter (I was in ninth grade right when the first movie came out) because it was "anti-Christian" (I am Christian and still see nothing wrong with it.) and the teacher scrawled a note that said "Don't ever bring this trash into my room again."
I brought a huge book called "Wicca and Witchcraft for Idiots" into class the next day and gave it to her as a gift.</p>
<p>I was suspended for a week.
I thought it was funny.</p>
<p>I'd rather have an "ignorant" and "close minded" person as my friend rather than some half-assed "Christian" who attends the United Church of Christ and follows black liberation theology.</p>
<p>PlattsburghLoser, you would have had legitimate grounds for a lawsuit had you wished to pursue legal action. Assuming that the school was public, the teacher could easily have been fired.</p>
<p>I thought about doing something similar to my teachers, although I find that they are mostly inoffensive, and the book would likely have been something like Der Antichrist, so it would have born a greater sting. And it's private, so I could get expelled.</p>
