And I really hope you're not equating the spread of hatred and malice to "holiness". I'm not angry with all religious people. I personally know and respect quite a few religious people. I am, however, angry with the religious people who use their religion as a bullshit excuse to force their twisted and distorted views of the world on others. This doesn't just cover gay-haters -- [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_(Christian)#Controversy_and_Christian_missionaries]missionaries can kiss my rear end, too[/url]. And yeah, I hate people who hate gays for little or no reason. [i]That[/i] hate is fine. Why? Because I hate people for what they [i]do[/i], not for who they are, and certainly not because some minor and unimportant psychological quirk(s) they possess. [i]You[/i], on the other hand, hate gays because of some uncontrollable and insignificant behavioral abnormality they possess -- though you do quite a good job at masking that bigotry under a facade of benevolence. Hating someone for being gay is just as deplorable as hating someone for being a woman, or for being black, or for being a Muslim, or for being a Communist... The only real reason to hate someone is for what they do -- hating someone for any other reason only makes people hate you, and for good reason. I'm all for spreading positive religious ideas like "don't stab people" and "stealing is bad" -- hell, if everyone believed in that, the world would be a far better place. But when someone uses their religious beliefs to facilitate, justify, and foster meaningless hatred and bigotry against an innocent group of people... That is flat out wrong, and indeed, such actions are (or should be) a disgrace to whatever religion(s) that person(s) happen to practice, if not a disgrace to humanity as a whole! ---------------------- [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/30926][img]http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/268/cellu.gif[/img][/url][url=http://davidjcobb.deviantart.com/][img]http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/428/24464470.gif[/img][/url][url=http://getfirefox.com/][img]http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/6336/25338231.gif[/img][/url][img]http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/2163/end.gif[/img] Loading...
