Hey Brother, Welcome To Hell

I've never really felt like the black sheep of the family as much as last night. My uncle call me uneducated and called out the American school system because they don't teach the belief in God or creationism. It was really stupid how it all started though because I was trying to explain to him that when you go out to walk after eating, it doesn't actually help you digest your food any faster, but instead stops your digestion completely. He called bullshit and said that school was obviously misinforming me of how the body works. I know how strong of faith everyone in my family has in Catholicism and many times it feels like they could shun me at any moment just for not believing in the imaginary person in the sky. Just because I believe in science (regardless of the fact that it is NOT a religion) doesn't make me any less of a person. Overall though, I think I might just be over thinking all of this, but I still feel a bit insulted on the inside. What if my sister also ends up not believing in God? That would mean that the both us could be looked at as uneducated and alienated based off of having opposed views than that of our family. At the moment, she's already not sure what to believe in but has all this pressure to believe in God. Damn you religion for teaching to shun others.

Another strange thing that happened yesterday, was that while the family was eating dinner, there were two guys sitting next to us talking about how they would rate themselves as attractive to girls. They had a one to ten scale of this stuff. One of them kept saying, "I'm at least a 7.5" several times. I would have never came up with something like that. Then again, I don't consider myself attractive so no real need for one. Easily solves everything hahaha.
