Now, a lot of people know that I used to be Catholic, and that I don't consider myself to be that religion anymore. However, my mom still makes me go to church on Sunday, even if I don't want to. In fact, it's the last place I'd like to be with the way it frustrates me. Today was one of those Sundays where I just wish I could have stayed home. But unfortunately I couldn't. So when they were making the announcements before everything started, I heard them say something about a Glee Christmas Spectacular. I thought, What in the world? After mass, my mother grabbed a bulletin, and this picture happened to be inside of it.
Now, I blocked out all of the details as to when it is because I'm no sellout. But it made me soooo frickin pissed. Why, you ask? First off, they used the actual logo, which I'm pretty sure is against copyright laws. Second, why in God's name are they promoting a Glee event? Last I heard, the church was against teenage pregnancy, gays, student/teacher relationships, sex before marriage, teenage drinking, and must I go on? When I was going to school at this specific church, they were completely against us straying off of the path that they thought was the right way to go. I remember that they tried so frickin hard to make us good little children, and each time any of my classmates got in an argument with the teachers, the students were the ones getting in trouble because they weren't taking the crap that the Catholic faith was pushing on us. I managed to be one of the good little girls (and I laugh as I say that, because I was the most innocent one out of everybody in that school), and when I got into high school, even I strayed off of that perfect path for a while. And now as I sit here thinking about that hell hole school, I realize that I was never happy there. Man, if I had the backbone then that I do now, they would have hated me sooooo much, and I'm dead serious. I actually have said some pretty nasty things due to my disagreements with people, and I'm not too well liked when that side of me comes out. But what I'm getting at is, I don't understand how my past Catholic school could even have the audacity to promote this "Glee Christmas Spectacular" when it's everything that they're completely against. You see, it may not be a big deal to you, but it is to me. When I started attending high school, being friends with people who did do things that the Catholic faith was against is what made me the person that I am today, and these people have helped me develop the abilities that are going to help me face the real world. The Catholic faith (to me) seems so "la-dee-da I have no idea what's going on in today's society" about everything. If I would have gone to a Catholic high school, God help me, I would have been stuck in that innocent, la-dee-da phase FOREVER. Just, URGGG. Really pisses me off.
So, you little demon church, this is why I hate you and would rather spend my Sundays sleeping in. You promote things you are against. You contradict yourself. And you made my middle school years the worst years of my life.
I feel sorry for the children attending that school right now. I hope they aren't being bullied like I was, and I hope that they don't get sucked into the evils of drugs and alcohol like so many of my classmates have. It just isn't worth it. If I could, I'd tell them all to run, and as fast as they can. Catholic school makes everything worse. And I'll be damned if I ever say anything good about that church. But hey, that's just my opinion.
