~The First Meeting~
A/N: Well, I see you are still reading. I am surprised that you haven't broken your leg tripping up on all the grammatical mistakes ^_^ By the way I am VERY VERY proud. FIVE reviews. Yay! That means FIVE people read it.or well tried to. All forms of reviews excepted. But if you want religious debate, than that's what you will get!
"All Spirits!" Theo proclaimed.
"That's a fantastic idea," Buddha said. All the boys agreed that the group was to be formed. They were happily discussing the group in Christina's room, who hoped her family, mother, father and brother wouldn't listen in.
"Okay, how about we will meet every.Wednesday. First of all, we can discuss each other's religion." Christina started.
"Okay, we can start with saying why we believe in what we believe. First. Mohammad. Why do you believe in the tooth fairy?" Krishna asked.
"Because I found Two dolla..Hey!" Muhammad playfully punched Krishna.
"Well, I am not for certain that Jesus existed, but am pretty sure he did. But anyways, to me it is not the deity that counts, but what the teachings are. Jesus taught us 'treat your neighbour as you wish to be treated.' That's so true, and you get such a good feeling after you have done something nice for somebody. I believe that everybody is allowed into the Kingdom of Heaven.or whatever afterlife, and they don't have to be Christians. We should include everybody. Just because they are not Christian doesn't mean they are horrible people. Remember the tale of the Good Samaritan. The Samaritans were like the enemies of the Jews, but then when there was a hurt man lying on the ground, guess who helped him? Not the priest, but the Samaritan!" Christina stopped for a breathe after her long speech.
"Really, Schwapcha?" Mary, who already knew the parable said sarcastically, "but I must admit, I don't think I would be a Christina if Jesus wasn't a part of it. He rose from the dead to save our sins. Jesus saved us."
"Yeah, but how come the world still has sin in it?" Christina angrily shot back.
"Sin cannot be deleted," Mary explained.
"Yeah, but you just said." Christina started.
"Okay, okay, just who really cares!?!" Theo broke them up. Arguing Christians was not what was wanted at the moment, "first, lets make it clear what religion everyone is, Okay?"
"Christian!" Christina and Mary declared at once, "and Jesus loves me more, because my name is Christ-ina! Mix it around, and the name of my faith is revealed!" Christina laughed.
"And I share the name of the Holy Virgin!" Mary declared, sitting up proudly.
"And that's the way you will remain for the rest of your life," Kamiko giggled. "Shut up." Mary growled.
"Well, anyways, I am Shinto" Kamiko said.
"I'm Catholic" Buddha declared with pride.
"Oh, no your NOT!" Mary corrected, "you faith deny-er."
"Yeah, whatever. Buddhist."
"Oh, cool, I score good luck," Mohammad robbed Buddha's belly, laughing hard.
"Hey."
"Me Hindu," Krishna announced.
"Well I am a Muslim, the faith of Islam!" Mohammad stopped rubbing Buddha's belly, to his relief.
*Bring berrr---ring dilgalingalinga LING* someone's phone began to ring. Krishna rummaged through her pockets and extracted a hot pink mobile phone (or as they say in America 'Cell Phone') and began furiously pressing buttons, and wondering what was wrong with it.
"Yeah, Hallo Ma" Theo spoke into his phone casually, as Krishna pretended nothing has ever happened. Theo continued to yap away, and after a while, clicked his phone closed.
"Sorry guys, Dinna iz rrrrreadi [Translation: Dinner is ready]!" Theo explained the phone call, imitating his mum's thick accent. Everyone said his or her goodbyes to Theo, who left for home.
"C Ya at school on Monday," Theo waved. After he left, the others continued the conversation.
"Okay, lets sum this up, " Christina began.
"Me and Mary = Christian"
"Kamiko = Shinto"
"Krishna = Hindu"
"Buddha = Buddhist"
"Mohammad = Muslim," Christina finished listing everybody.
"Well, that's everybody, " Mary sighed, "next week why don't we pick out one of the Faiths and discuss it."
"Mary, sometimes you're a genius. Lets pick it out now. I will write everyone's name on each bit of paper, and then draw it out. We will discuss the faith of the person who's name is drawn out" Christina took control, and began writing out the names, and placing them into the hat.
"I hope its not bloody Buddhism," Mohammad joked, looking directly at Buddha.
Krishna grabbed the hat, and dipped her hand in, and pulled out a name.
Krishna began to read out the name. "It's."
