[15:08] lucentalchemy: now... to me... that's being weak... castration is at least taking a step to what you want
[15:08] lucentalchemy: just saying "i am weak" it means you don't really want it

[15:10] lucentalchemy: no... it's not
[15:10] lucentalchemy: actually
[15:11] lucentalchemy: you are trying to force me to believe something you say you believe... but don't do...
[15:11] lucentalchemy: the path to hell is paved with good intentions... that's a quote that someone famous said
[15:11] Friend: i ma not trying to force u
[15:11] lucentalchemy: i don't remember off the top of my head who it was
[15:12] lucentalchemy: but you are trying to force me
[15:12] lucentalchemy: go back and read what you are saying
[15:13] Friend: i ma sorry if u took it that way i would ever do that
[15:13] lucentalchemy: we have just gone through this over and over again
[15:13] Friend: do i win anything from it?
[15:13] lucentalchemy: name one vegetable you hate
[15:13] Friend: why do u think i do it for?
[15:14] Friend: none really
[15:14] lucentalchemy: name something you hate doing
[15:14] Friend: talking to people that refuse to understand
[15:15] lucentalchemy: ...
[15:15] lucentalchemy: i do understand...
[15:15] lucentalchemy: i think that might be what's frustrating to you... i do fully understand... i just choose not to believe what you do... because i have my own beliefs
[15:16] Friend: man but u believe in fake gods i want to help u to save your soul
[15:16] Friend: even if i don't save mine
[15:17] lucentalchemy: my gods are not fake...
[15:17] lucentalchemy: and that is very rude and arrogant to say to anyone
[15:17] lucentalchemy: basically you just said
[15:17] lucentalchemy: everything you believe is just wrong... because i said so
[15:18] Friend: because i know so
[15:18] lucentalchemy: and that's fine that you "know so" but i know different
[15:18] lucentalchemy: you just can't accept the fact that someone else might be right
[15:19] lucentalchemy: and you can't prove it... you just point to a book...
[15:19] lucentalchemy: don't get me wrong... it's good to have faith...
[15:19] Friend: ok man
[15:19] Friend: i tried
[15:19] lucentalchemy: but forcing your beliefs on other people... and saying "i'm right and you're wrong" have caused so many wars and pain
[15:20] lucentalchemy: did you ever think that i could be trying too?
[15:21] lucentalchemy: just trying to open your eyes
[15:21] Friend: maybe
[15:22] Friend: all i know is that u have a good heart and that come from the only god that exists
[15:22] lucentalchemy: i have been on this earth for 32 years... i have heard a lot of the stories... i have made up my own mind.. all i ask... is that i be allowed to believe what i believe without being told "i don't care... you're wrong"
[15:24] Friend: man i never meant to hurt your feelings
[15:25] lucentalchemy: well... normally you don't... but this time you did... i don't hate you or anything... but i just don't want to talk about this anymore
