QUOTE "Are religionists so thin-skinned they must squelch free debate? One small freethought billboard in the immense state of California is such a threat to insecure religious egos that it must be censored? I support freedom of religion and all, but I don't see any billboards advertising other religions. So...I guess it's only fair? |

Oh, I didn't realize that I'd cut out my disclaimer. I don't have a problem with what you believe in terms of a religion, I have a problem with how you judge people according to that. Christianity doesn't just involve doing shit; loving others is a pretty big part of it. Far more important, I'd say. I make no pretense of being a true Christian, so it's not the least bit hypocritical of me to judge you for the things you say. And yeah, I'm judging you for the things that you say, not your religious beliefs. I have plenty of friends who center their lives around their belief in God, but they manage to actually be good people and not look down upon those who don't live by a rigid set of beliefs. God, I went to mass last night an was unusually inspired by the readings and homilies, because none of it involved condemning other people. It's that shit that gives Christians a bad name, not the ones who are simply living their lives the way they want to live it. Yeah, if people want to have one night stands, do those things, whatever...it is fine. It doesn't effect you. You should know that God will determine whether their faith is true, it's not your place.
You didn't say, but you certainly implied. Like that Republicanism is somehow more adherent to be Bible, which it isn't. And shouldn't be. This is not a theocracy. It shouldn't be about "the religion," it should be about one's own personal beliefs. Hence the billboard. Which is not even "atheist," by the way. |
