I've planned to blog my heart out for a few days now, but something is on my mind, so the rest can wait.
My "step-sister" has her communion booked for Sunday. She's only 7. I am totally, 100% against this sort of shit.
Anyway. I've been against going since the time it came into light, months ago. I don't like churches in general. I especially don't like going to "celebrate" occasions for those who didn't make the decision themselves. I don't care who you are, no 7 year old could decide or come to the conclusion she believes in a deity.
Many arguments passing, I basically said that I would go to the party afterwards, but I wouldn't go to the church. So ofcourse, after asking my mother when I need to be at the hotel for the shin-dig, it all hits off again.
Apparently my sister doesn't agree with my decision. Big suprise there...but do I give a shit? Un-fucking-likely.
Apparently other "non-believers" are going. Again. Shit. Give. Don't. A. Do the math.
She's basically put the situation to me, that when she organised a party for my 21st birthday, she had to work with my dad (her ex-husband) to sort things out, which is something she didn't enjoy doing.
I don't personally think she can use that example for this situation.
I dislike my step-dad. I'm not bothered about my step-sisters and religion can fuck off for all I care, but what do you think?
Should I stand down and just go, going back on my beliefs just to keep the calm with those I don't even really count as family?
Or should I stand firm and endure a fucking life-long guilt trip?
I'm so seriously pissed off.
What pisses me off the most is that my mum is accusing me of making this all about me and saying I'm trying to boycott the communion.
I don't want anything to do with the fucking occasion! Why would I want to boycott it!
