You know that song by StainD called "So Far Away"? That song was released when I was in high school. It was good, but wasn't anything I'd listen to all the time. Fast forward like 20 years and what I know about the people I went to school with. Some died too young, one girl developed breast cancer, one had a stroke and most recently heart failure, one guy is in federal prison and another is going through life's ups and downs as a single parent with anxiety attacks. That song starts playing over and over again in my mind as I reflect upon the past and how carefree everyone was. Did I reach out? Yes. Did I offer some support? Yes, meals for them while recovering. Why? Those people helped define my youth. Some I cared for as a crush and others were just easier to get ahold of thanks to technology. I reflect on this now and wonder if this was a way to say goodbye to my youth. I'm not hanging out or talking to these people on the regular. I wouldn't want to go back to that time, but I think a part of those people will always live inside me. Maybe as a spirit of caring or having a heart.

Wtf is it with Christians randomly starting to preach to you with random Bible quotes in games lmfao.
I was playing Halo the game was called something like '' butt sex '' and had lewd descriptions too about cum in the ass ( it's a FFA map and was the only one that had actual players on it xD...... ).
I am just playing like normal then suddenly some guy starts quoting Bible verses and is unironically getting into religious arguments and trying to convert people.
Like brother, you're in a Halo 3 game called butt sex wtf are you doing?

It's definitely not the first time either pretty much every day in the Napoleonic mod for Mount and Blade there's people preaching about the Bible and Jesus.
Doesn't really matter what game sometimes you just get these random people who think they're some great intellectuals because they have memorized Bible verses and numbers who are trying to convert people in game chat and they're always the most judgemental and smug assholes imaginable too.
If you want to convert people going into a random Halo game with a lewd name and start calling people sinners and rant about how your father is a devil etc while quoting Bible verses has to be the most bizarre nonsensical way ever to do it.
If anything it makes people less likely to convert and more judgemental towards Christians.

That's one of the reasons me and a dude from my teenage years aren't friends to this day. He'd spend like 9 hours a day playing, but say JC and he'd go all Southern Baptist minister on you. What's weird is we talked about RE2 Remake like a few years ago. I think we had too different viewpoints to stay close friends.
