This one is fun and shows how far zealotry can go. Part of the confirmation was going to a camp for 2 days. Among all the silly things we did(singing, dancing, seeing a guy being beaten with a gardening hose, guilt tripping us, and talking about ghost stories at night) something stood beyond all that.
What could possibly be worse than all that you ask? Well the counselors made a concoction made of water, spit, raw meat, possibly barf of others and pretty much anything else. The idea was this, the people that loved jesus were threatened with death and they didn't betray their master. So we should prove our loyalty by eating a spoonful of that.
That day I learned that I do not let peer pressure control my actions. I stood my ground and didnt eat that thing, two other guys followed me (we were about 50 in that place). Some of my friends got sick after that and one even fainted during the mass that sunday (this happened on a saturday).
Lesson learned, religion makes you do stupid and dangerous things. Jesus, next time why don't you shove up that thing into your sacred ass?
