21 Questions (Ryden)

Question 18 - B

Brendon: do you believe in God?

Ryan: no

Brendon: why not?

Ryan: that's a long explanation

Brendon: I got time

Ryan: well for starters I don't see how people can put so much faith in an invisible man in the sky if there would be a god I doubt they'd be any gender I would think more on the lines of energy rather than a figure

Brendon: how come?

Ryan: people portray god to be this specific figure the cliche being an older man white bread white robe and stuff they're humanizing this being that's supposed to be perfect but humans are imperfect so why picture this being as something that's far from perfect

Brendon: okay

Ryan: there's too much bad in the world for me to believe that there's some higher being out there religious people constantly say god has a plan and everything happens for a reason

Ryan: I can think of any reason why this all powerful being would allow war to happen, poverty, disease you know? There is NO reason that could justify someone torturing another to the point they'd want to Kill themselves there's no reason why a teenager should hate themselves so much they give themselves scars people shouldn't want to hurt themselves because it's part of some big plan

Ryan: religious is weird to me it's almost a cult which I think is ironic but it's a group of people worshiping this book that is so wrong it feels like there's more hate and I just don't.. there are people who don't accept my lifestyle because of a book written ages ago I can't believe in something that I feel is tainted

Brendon: that was... wow

Brendon: I--

Ryan: sorry

Brendon: how come

Ryan: idk it was just a lot I guess? I kept rambling and I don't even know if it made sense

Brendon: it's okay

Ryan: don't tell me that you're religious and I just offended you because then I'll feel like shit

Brendon: lol you didn't I'm not religious

Ryan: okay

Brendon: you alright though?

Ryan: yeah I'm good sorry

Brendon: it's alright

Ryan: so it's my turn?

Brendon: yes it is

A/N:

If anyone is religious and finds this offensive in any way I apologize it's just for the chapter
