btw I ask for prayers for when I speak in my class that since I am in a class that is religiously diverse and have zero desire to with hold my beliefs, that 1.) I don't say something in a way that horribly offends someone (I prefer to be gentle when in religious discussion) 2.) That when I do speak about the topic that the 'baby christian' boy in my class is able to understand me & that if I ever try to help him learn that I don't come across as if I am dismissing him (I am worried that I made him feel stupid or ganged-up on yesterday and hope that I did not) and that 3.) I don't slip up and say something horribly offensive to my preacher/veteran teacher because while I am a Christian I am not conservative and have opinions about the army that he doesn't need to hear right now after being freshly retired after serving for over 2 decades.

#I even have respect for people who serve in the army because I KNOW that they're just doing what they think is right #and trying to protect their families #doesn't take away from my view of it as a whole #and I do not by any means want to drive away the people who have traumas surrounding christianity that drove them away #and this baby Christian boy has the spirit #but he is also starting sentences with 'I'm not sexist but-'#and stating 'transgenderism is stupid' right in front of a girl who has outright stated she doesn't know what she is #and also asking an army vet if he ever killed anyone 😬#I get zero malicious vibes from him at all #he just needs a bit of steering #I told him 'The reason there isn't peace on earth is a result of the fall of man.#when Jesus comes back thats when the problem of evil will be fixed.'#and he looked at me and asked 'What Bible are you reading?'#I answered King James and asked him why he asked #'Cuz I didn't think the one you were reading existed' rjhsbns #He's got the want too at least #christian #prayer request #merkerler speaks #the reason I am worried about offending btw is because when people are offended they are less likely to listen
