Hi, my name is Savannah Lopez
And I am a psych major at University of Houston
My religion is non-denominational, non-practicing
Hi my name is Destiny Gonzales
And I was raised to be Catholic
But I myself identify as Agnostic
Hi, my name is Maddie Campbell. I'm student and I have a passion for Jesus Christ
My name is Christine Luu, my dad is a Buddhist and my mom is Catholic
But I grew up going to church being like Catholic and baptized
But I am actually atheist
So far my experience has not been great
Recently I have found out that a friend of mine who I was very close to for an entire semester was actually only using me
To try to get close to me and to try to convert me whenever she wanted to hang out
It was usually at church events or at youth group and stuff like that
And I'm not very comfortable with that kind of stuff. I don't feel comfortable with faith. I don't feel comfortable
with
Any of that type of stuff and she started getting mad
I started getting mad
and that's when she revealed to me out of anger that
the only reason she started being friends with me is because
I wear this necklace. It's Our Lady of Guadalupe, and it's
Honestly, just something I wear. I forget that I'm wearing it, but she figured that she can convert me from a Catholic from
a non-practicing to somebody that practices Christianity
There was an area I always had to walk down just to get to my German class and
there's always a bunch of booths about of different clubs and
There was always a few different religious clubs in there, and they would ask me like hey
Do you want to learn more about Christianity? Do you want to join?
I'd be like no and at first
They were kind of okay with it, but then there was this one girl who kept asking me I said, no, I'm sorry
I'm not religious. I'm agnostic and she asked me what that means and I told her and she seemed
irritated and like upset
it made well at first it made me feel a little annoyed and
It was it just got really tiring
Before I knew the truth and before I believed in God
I was lost all throughout high school and all throughout life
And it wasn't before one of my best friends helped me convert to Christianity
that
Helped me guide my life to
the truth today
There is only one true God on this planet and
All I want to do is spread the word about how much he loves us, and how much he's he's there for us
And I believe in one law and that is the Word of God
I'll tell you about an experience
One time on the university I was walking my friend back into the library and people were standing around
handing pamphlets and whatnot
and they tend to like me my friends know everyone kind of knows when you walk by you kind of avoid them with them because
You kind of feel guilty about it, but at the same time like you kind of have to walk past them
You can't really avoid it so my friend was like oh no
That's mean and I'm like
But this has happened to me before like this is not like the first time and it happens all the time and it's kind of
Like I just kind of like I feel bad because they're just wasting our time talking to me
I'm just nodding it off and nothing's going to change and they'll hand you some papers and try to like tell me like oh
Yeah, I used to be like this
smoke weed, drink, all this stuff, but now
Like I've given my life to God and you should too and like give you some papers
tell you come by tell you to listen to the man speaking on stage
But I always grab it kind of just like nod. Talk like yeah
Understand like walk away, but I always feel guilty like holding the papers like walking back
Oh, what am I supposed to do with this? It's kind of rude. Just like throw it out, but like I don't really like I
Feel like it I feel attacked and they're just coming to me and handing me things and told me to convert to you know whatever
They believe in just because it helped them it might not help someone else
