Controversial

"There is no God" "Gay marriage is a sin" Common ground for these topics? Religion. One of the biggest topics of controversy is religion. Religious arguments are some of the most opinionated, stubborn and close-minded topics of discussion. And I say fuck that. Pardon my single-syllable harshness, but seriously. These days, it's getting ri-donkey-dick-ulous. There. More syllables to fire up your inner rebel. Soak it in. But really. I'm sick of the fact that everyone is so rude when it comes to other peoples beliefs. I actually had a chat about this with a friend today, and I just HAD to share my thoughts. After all, this is MY blog. And I'm in one of those moods. The mood to slam the keys on my computer. But I'm not using it this time. So my anger is transferred to my iPhone keypad. And lemme tell you, my thumbs are going to look good in their swimwear this summer... Anyways, back on topic. Look around. Listen. Ask. Religion is so over-emphasized. And why? Because everyone thinks they're right. Well you're not. Not at all. You're far from it. You're a prepubescent, moist-muffined, scurvy callous on the scrotum of society. Your religion isn't the only religion in the world. Fact. So who's to say your religion is right? Intriguing thought. Boom. Am I saying your religion is wrong? No. I'm saying that you need to accept that other religions exist, and that it's rude and unfair to think yours is the shit, and all the other religions must succumb to your ways. No. That's why there's such segregation and racism in this world. Because of intolerance and closed minds. I personally don't really believe in any religious deity or faith system. But I don't think anyone else's spiritual (or non) belief is wrong. It's not. It can't be wrong. Why? Because its THEIR PERSONAL BELIEF. You know, freedom of self and all that shit. Some people believe in God, some in Allah, some in Buddha and some might even believe in Spock. Who are we to say either one of those is right, and everyone else can suck it? We're not anybody. It's called "faith" for a reason. Because it's OURS to have. I don't need your permission to think that gay marriage should be legal. And if you want to keep it from happening, then make divorce illegal. Since divorce "destroys the sanctity of marriage" just like gay marriage APPARENTLY will do. Which is dumb. A person is a person. Capable of love just as much as anyone else. Who cares who they love? Let them love who they want. You can't take away someone's personal beliefs and opinions, because it's NOT YOURS. You don't think gay marriage is ok? Fine. That's your right. You're allowed to believe that. But don't go around thinking it's your right to control how everyone else should live their religious lives and personal opinions. The same goes for the other side. Don't preach about "being more understanding and accepting us for who we are" then saying that all Christians, Catholics and whoever the fuck else are a bunch of righteous assholes. Because they aren't. That's an assumption, just like they're doing. So you're no better. My point is, believe what you want to believe. Have faith in whatever you want. Hell, try out every religion or belief system if you want, but DON'T try to force it upon others or think that you are superior to the others in any way at all. In the end, we all die. No one has SOLID evidence of what happens next. That's why it's called FAITH. Me? I don't know what will happen. And I don't care. Because when it happens, it happens. There's no stopping it. There could be an afterlife, or I could cease to exist completely. But for now, I'm living. And I will live like it's the only chance I have, because it very well could be. But I refuse to cut down your beliefs and opinions. I refuse to say you're wrong. And I REFUSE to think I'm better than you. I'm opening my eyes, because that's what I believe in. <3 - Posted using BlogPress from a really intelligent rectangle.
