Re: Liberals against Christianity???
DJ, religion is being forced down my throat. Everywhere I look is religion. Everywhere I read is garbage about the "moral decline" of our country, which has nothing to do with religion, it is just used as ammo to push a cause. My whole point is that we all know there is religion, we don't need to be reminded of it. Why do you have to fight for it at all? Just what the hell does the belief in God have to do with laying on your back and crying about how "everybody hates me because I love God". Just enjoy the fact that you are at peace in your beliefs and quit projecting it onto me as if it will make any bit of difference in my life at all. The people I respect the most who are religious are the ones who never say a thing about it at all. I don't tell people about my personal desire to whipe till its white, so don't tell me what you do on Sunday.<br /><br />Oh, and by the way, every anti-abortion demonstration I have seen features maniacal crazed individuals yelling and throwing things at the people who are going into those abortion clinics. Docs are getting shot. Clinics are getting burned down, so don't even spout your fantasy land version, the reality is very different. As a teen, I lived next to a medical center that provided abortion, and the protesters where out there every day. They had their signs, they had their rage. They yelled, they threw things, the cops came and arrested them. I made them go away one day by playing Charged GBH's City Baby Attacked By Rats, a punk song. I played it all day, and they could not handle it. Peaceful prayer my arse. Go pray at home if that is all it takes to make the evil abortionists go away. Just attention seeking zealots.<br /><br />See, for me, if I am wrong and there is in fact God, I'll be just fine. For those who believe and there is no God, they are screwed. Isn't that what this is really all about? The fear of the unknown? You do not need to be validated by me, just go and believe.<br /><br />Just remember, everything that is involved in religion is all the interpretation of information written by MAN. God didn't write anything, we did. So basically you have man made information ruling your life as fact. 6000 years from now someone could be interpreting a Stephen King novel as gospel. So just remember that when you tell me that you are superior because you believe in a man made interpretation of what may or may not exist.<br /><br />My respect for my friends who are religious is because of the way they live, not the fact that they are religious. I also know plenty of non-religious that live just as morally, and I respect them equally.<br /><br />But then why do I bother? I am wrong because what I am saying does not coincide with what you believe...I am willing to concede in the face of real proof, are you?<br /><br />EDIT: Everything I ever say I say with the full knowledge that nothing I say will change anyones belief system, ever. I just say it to burn time until the next time I go fishin'...
<br /><br />The biggest problem with labels is that too many people put a label on someone and think they know all about them.<br /><br />If you say such and such you must be a whatchamacallit. And all Whatchamacallits are like this and think that.<br /><br />Hogwash!
