Religios Persecution
So I signed up on match.com a few days ago when out of the blue I get the following message from someone.
"HI!
I saw your profile and clicked on it mainly due to the pink wig in your picture. I must say right off the bat that unfortunately you being agnostic means it simply will not work between us. I'm picky that way.
However, I just had to tell you that i love the list making! Very cute and efficient.
My own pet peeves include guys who don't list their education, occupation, and sign! Wassup with that?

Ok now what's funny about it is that her profile made her sound pretty cool and I actually added her to some list of someone I would consider writing to in the future. But ok in any case she contacted me. Now in the VERY first paragraph she talks about religion and how my religious beliefs mean it won't "work" between us. Normally one would assume this is a joke, because why in the world is she sending me a message out of the blue only to give me a reason why it won't work between us. So I did some research, and when I looked closely at her profile she did mention that she was Christian/Catholic, and when it listed for people she was looking to meet it was listed as follows:
"Christian / LDS,
Christian / Other,
Christian / Protestant,
Spiritual but not religious,
Christian / Catholic"
(Of course I don't list anything for this in my profile because I really don't give a crap)
In any case I'm really not looking for anyone to date or go out with like most everyone else on there is, I'm just trying to meet people. But this was just too weird. Anyway I sent her some response expressing my confusion and basically asking if she was serious about it. She said no, sorry to have offended me and expressed surprise that I would have even considered she was serious. And that just about ended our correspondence! I mean why would she list her religion, explain briefly why it ws important to her, then list religions of people she wants to meet that specifically excludes what I have listed, and then be SURPRISED when I take her seriously!
That's all for now. I need to get some new readers of my LJ, I believe I have 10 still around from the old days.
