I looked at the news today, and was very glad to see this article on CNN.com. All I can say is, thank fucking christ. It's about time somebody realizes how offensive that one goddamn line can be.

Now, I'm not the person I used to be several years ago. Back then I would've done a bit of a jig, and then went around offending all the Christians that I know. Now I've realized and gained a level of maturity that allows me to respect another person's beliefs, even though I don't really agree with them.

The problem with most Christians, however, is they've yet to attain that same level. That's why they go around picketing other people's graduations and politely protest things against "God's will." Things all good Christians should rise up for, right?

I don't want to leave the impression that I want to take away another person's right for speech or protest. Because I think they're perfectly entitled to such things. Just don't go around doing these things under the guise of Christianity, unless you're going to claim you're with a splinter-religion of it. Because there's nothing whatsoever Christian about attacking an abortion clinic or protesting a graduation because there happens to be an out lesbian participating in it.

What I do have a problem with, however, is the fact that most organized religions refuse to allow other people to lead their own lives. They have to be converted, they have to be saved. They can't allow anybody to have a belief system of their own unless it's identical to the one used by the masses.

I don't know, it's too early and I'm really tired. So I doubt I've made much sense.

Just, fucking get off of your soapboxes and let somebody else do what they want to do, and stop telling them that Jesus and his lama wants them to do otherwise.

G'night.
