Apparently not believing in God. My first introduction to the true mind of religious people was in the 4th grade when a classmate told me “I’m sorry you’re going to burn in hell forever” when I told her I was an atheist.
Not sure how old 4th grade is, but I’d have been about 6 or 7 when Amanda Jackson told me I couldn’t borrow her colouring pencils because I didn’t believe in Jesus. We’re in the UK, it’s not like it’s even such a huge thing over here, and joke’s on her anyway because in the end the teacher ruled that she had to share.
Yeah, I never know what age a grade equates to. “4th grade” - is that age 4? Seems a bit young. So, if you start school about age 4, then that would be 1st grade I guess, so 4 + 4th grade would be age 8. Is that right?
Should I do better with my thought process on it? Probably.
Please do note, though, I said that was my first introduction. I’ll let you guess how many more instances it took before I learned to keep my mouth shut and not reveal my non-belief under any circumstances.

Screw you Amanda. Never forget.

It’s usually your grade + 5. Most people start school around 4 or 5 but before first grade there’s kindergarten.
And before that there’s preschool (optional) 3-4
I never went to preschool. I thought it was optional?
It is, I wrote optional in brackets
Good guess. Generally about 8-9.
They’re going to hell now. Judge not lest you be judged and all that.
The ultimate uno reverse.
Why do you assume all religious people think the way she does? Isn’t that painting with a broad brush just like she did?
Probably.

The proper response to that is “At least I’ll be in good company.”
Joke’s on her anyway. I’d say she’s going to be disappointed when she dies, but she won’t be anything.
