Judge Not

So I don't mean to judge, but this guy really creeps me out. I guess it started when he showed us his video that he made with some friends. It was a detective story about kidnapping and bad guys and stuff, with the usual sensual scenes that most video makers sprinkle into their films for the benefit of the male audience. So I figured that he's just a normal college student.

Then we read and critiqued his screen play which he wrote about spirits that follow people when they're about to die, and the main character dies and then comes back to haunt his friend... And I'm not a big fan of horror movies, so that one creeped me out a bit.

And then came this project that he and a few of my other friends worked on together... the end result was another movie in which the main character is killed (big surprise) by this weird guy (played by him). After the project was over, my friends complained to me about how much of a pain it was to work with him since he was such a control freak and selfish guy.

So I ended up with a pretty bad impression of this guy. Add on to that the fact that it seems like he tries to hit on girls, and then you've got a guy that I'm weirded out by.

So today we were talking about a Christian concert that he had gone to, and so I asked him if he was a Christian. And he said "Yeah" matter of factly. So I was surprised and I said "Oh" Then he was surprised that I was surprised and asked "Why? Did you not think I was a Christian?" To which I shrugged becuase I didnt know how to reply without judging him.

So I feel really bad for coming across as rude, but I was really genuinely shocked to find out that he was a beliver. So it was awkward, and my mind is still trying to get over that fact.
