But, you know, it's my blog dammit. :)<br /><br />Also, do you spell it damnit or dammit? This really bothers me because I hate it spelled dammit, but I think that is technically correct. It's why I just stick with fuck.<br /><br />That was random.Erratichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05618303357855288485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078958866601919363.post-16872297720440674922010-03-17T10:44:26.960-04:002010-03-17T10:44:26.960-04:00You know what?

She refuses to talk about it. To anyone.<br /><br />Anyway, here's what I think. Religion, and spirituality in general, is such a personal thing that anyone who chooses to judge someone else for it is a hypocrite. I think the fact that you consider yourself an atheist is just fine. Your experiences led you in a different direction than the most god-fearing Christian, and that's ok.<br /><br />Myself personally? I was raised in a VERY religious household....and I've since rebelled. Hard. I wrote about it once. I have come to truly despise organized religion. The things people do in the name of religion makes me absolutely ill. Treatment of homosexuals or different races or genders or even something as trivial as political standpoints, it's just not right. I think Kevin Smith absolutely nailed it in Dogma when he wrote, and Chris Rock said, "What He really hates is the shit that gets carried out in His name. Wars. Bigotry." Even if it was written to be funny, it's dead on.<br /><br />I do not want to do what is "right" because of being scared of some father figure and the punishments he will bestow on me for what I've done. I would rather do what I feel is right because I FEEL it. I'm still in the transition stage moving away from religion (and yes, my transition is running almost a decade strong), but be that as it may, it's MY choice, and no one will have any effect on me whatsoever.<br /><br />That being said, I'm right there with you on feeling that people are equal. Every single one of them. Regardless of anything, constitutionally protected or not.<br /><br />I'm going to stop rambling now.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358995575847056457noreply@blogger.com
