| Okay, folks. I know I complain about a lot of stupid, small bullshit most of the time, and you know it's all in fun and mostly out of boredom. But now it's time to come down to brass tax. There's a lot of you out there who happen to be Christian, and that's fine and dandy, I actually encourage you to stick with your beliefs because I understand it helps get you through hard days and sleep better at night. You have your peace, now leave Muslims, Jews, and all other people of varying religions the fuck alone. Same goes for everyone else basing their entire lives on a leap of faith inspired by two thousand year old books.
The radical Islamic terrorists we're fighting right now in Iraq have a lot in common with most devout right wing Christian evangelists and sheep-believers, the only difference is that there's different holy books involved, and Billy Graham and the local evangelists don't have the fucking balls to pick up automatic rifles and go hunt down every random Muslim going about their business here in the 'States. Religion undoubtedly is going to cause disagreements, but at least approach your arguments from a sensible view point instead of, "THE BIBLE SAYS IT'S RIGHT, THEREFORE IT'S RIGHT AND EVERYONE ELSE IS GOING TO HELL!" That seems to be the most popular one, believe or die! Thank you for giving me all those options, Lord. I am truly blessed.
This is why so many people are embarassed to associate themselves with the rest of the Christian community today. Learn some tolerance, read up on a little ancient history from a neutral perspective, and if you're going to devote your life to any single cause, do it because it's what you choose and not your parents, your friends, or society in general. A "belief" is just that, a belief, defined as a thought lacking solid evidence. Keep that in mind next time you feel like sticking your nose up at someone because they're not going to your fucking FCA meetings or church congregations. There's just as much of a chance you'll go to Heaven in the afterlife as there is you'll be wandering a neverending gas station bathroom for all eternity. Heaven is just a hell of a lot more appealing.
