Funny things I learned in church

[OriginalGeek]

24. I graduated in 81 from a christian high school

I remember all my math classes, all my english classes, world history and Texas history, typing, Spanish and PE. I vaguely remember a biology class but only in that they told us we MIGHT get frogs to dissect but we never did. But I swear I cannot remember one second of any other science class. I remember my science teacher from Jr High (public school) but couldn't even tell you if I had a science teacher in High School.


I do remember saying Buddha Dammit some though - which just goes to further illustrate willfully ignorant they were - they thought Buddha was an Asian God.


I'm still in touch with some of my friends from High School though facebook. As far as I can tell I'm the only escapee. One of my classmates who had his single engine pilots license before we graduated is now spending his time writing pseudo-scientific papers for theological "science" websites in support of Intelligent Design. I tried to read one of his papers a while back but just couldn't get though it. Something about viruses being proof of ID.

I'm openly atheist and liberal and democrat on my FB page but only a few have flat out refused to be my FB friend. But a whole lot fewer actually talk to me. I mean, other than to yell at me for turning my back on the Lord.

Wait, speaking of Buddha, I just remembered a friend who made it out - he is now a Yuan Buddhist and martial arts teacher who professes a spirituality but in no way identifies with christianity. He's is a lot of fun to talk to.
