A little story

Hey,

So I am at home today, last night I was hit with the worst headache I have ever had. I got barly any sleep and now I am wide awake with a headache and stomach ache to add. 

Anyway to distract myself I have read three chapters of a book and even watched two movies...but I want to tell you a little story from yesterday. 

Before I went to the Christmas Market I had breakfast at my grandmothers who is a full on praticing Christian, she has always been displeased with my lack of religious belief and how I love Harry Potter. Anyway, I was in the kitchen helping her dish up food and I had mentioned the new collection of Harry Potter in a store named Primark that we have in England. There's a bed set, pillows, a throw (which I purchased yesterday), christmas decor, a mason jar, clothing etc. I want it all and I was just hinting to her about it however, I completely forgot how religious she is and she started to lecture me. 

Apparantly I am in a cult because I like Harry Potter etc. 

To her I have been brainwashed by J.K Rowling to believe witchcraft is okay. And I turned to her and tried to argue. I said that Harry Potter is all fiction and based off real myths that have been around for centries. It isn't real. I am not in a cult. I kept something else quiet cause I knew she'd get very angry at me. But I felt like adding to that if we were going to mention myths then I would question the bible however knowing that I am not a practicing christian I will not question the religion my grandmother believes in, I will not discriminate her for her beliefs however I would just wish for her to realise I am not religious in any way. I don't go to church as the last time my family tried to get me into the religion I fell asleep within five minutes of the church service. 

She also tried to tell me how she will live forever in a world of paradise which confused me cause she then went to say 'when I die my soul moves on and I shall live for enternity in a world of paradise' I didn't question her however. 

She often loves to inform me that she 'prays you will be saved when he comes' implying upon the time jesus christ returns to save those that are deserving and leaves the others to burn in the fires of hell. I honestly don't understand this at all. but oh well. I have ignored it for years now but can you imagine a young 13 year old girl who's terrified of death and dying that she might not be saved by this so called christ and will be left to die in fire would feel....my grandmother often says things she really shouldnt. 

My mum gets very angry with her at times. As I often question beliefs to get a full understanding of why it is believed. I rarely to it towards religion but more towards society and culture. 

Oh well I just thought it would be funny to tell you that my grandmother thinks I am in a cult of witches because I am a fan of a fictional collection of books.
