hey Jansen, I may not know you in person but, i'm glad i got a chance to read that masterpiece of yours titled "Letter to a Christian Girlfriend"
& your writing, content, language & structure wise, is simply brilliant
i'm amazed by the amount of research you did for this piece
its really awesome & i'm really enlightened after reading what you wrote :)

i used to date a Christian & things were going well bcos both of us already acknowledged the fact that we are of different spiritual beliefs (i'm a Buddhist)
but we compromised, bcos we believe being happy is the most important consideration
there were times when people will bring up the issue and just a couple of weeks ago, the parents finally spoke to me about it
thats when i realized, this is not just about the 2 of us
dating a Christian is like, besides dating his family, i'm also dating God

okayyy maybe that sounded weird but yea, i threw a fit about it, asking him why did his parents do that
i know it wasn't his fault as through out our relationship, he was giving in alot & putting in effort
he wasn't that kind who would force me to attend church every Sunday
sigh its just sad that we are apart although we are still very much in love
but i guess this is life, although people always say love triumphs all evil (wait, or was it just me?), at the end of the day, religion does play a factor

my atheist friend has this motto of his own "religion separates people" & i can't agree more
i'm not sure how long ago was your break up but i hope you're feeling better already :)
me on the other hand? i can't seem to let go yet
so...i'm attending church on Sundays, for i would want to see whats the fuss is about as well as to understand the religion
i also tried reading the Bible
i know to others is like, i'm doing this entirely for him
but for me, i just want to be happy
& if continue seeing him makes me happy, why not?

oh gosh i realized i just wrote an essay !
pardon me & thanks if you've been reading till here
oh yea the purpose of writing this message, is just to let you know that piece of writing really helped me, & i believe for others as well :)
