I posted this on my Tumblr and was pretty proud of it. So i'm gunna post it on my other blog. Xanga. Here we go!
Warning: This is about a VERY touchy subject. I suggest not reading if you are easily offended.
I know I could probably dig myself into a really big hole writing this on my tumblr xanga, but I don’t care.
I was discussing not too long ago about religion. Now, I know everyone has a right to believe in something and that’s GOOD. You’re making your life not just about you. I mean it’s great and all, but me, personally I don’t think I could ever get into religion. I was never forced to go to church when I was younger, so I never felt the need to go to church every sunday. My parents gave me the freedom to believe in what I wanted to believe in. So yes, i’m very free spirited and I say what I feel on a whim. Yes, it may get me in trouble, but I believe everyone has a right to an opinion about something. Even if it’s as touchy as religion.
Do I believe there is a God? Yes. To an extent.
Yes, I believe there is someone out there watching over us. I believe there is a heaven and a hell. But I don’t believe there is someone placed in our life that is gunna sit here and watch out for every single human being on this planet. If He was going to do just that there would be a lot less shit going on in this world. Less crime, less depression and less hatred. Okay, so maybe Jesus isn’t perfect. He’s flawed like every human being on this planet. If he’s flawed, then why are people sitting here waiting to be “saved”? Waiting for their prayers to come true. When a lot of these prayers are really just wishes. Wishes for their lives to be better. Sounds pretty one sided to me. Everyone just wants, but never gives. I find it more impressive to do some good in this world, go volunteer at a soup kitchen or help someone in need, than someone going to church every Sunday and screaming out bible quotes to people that don’t really even care. Stop shoving your religion down my throat. I don’t wanna hear it.
Religion… I thought it would make people more accepting in the world, but if anything its churning out more hatred than ever to gays. I don’t find it cute that you’re throwing bible quotes in my face saying “BEING GAY IS A SIN. ITS IN THE BIBLE” Isn’t the bible just one book that has about 90237490327 interpretations? That’s what I thought. Every single person that is going to read the bible is going to look at it completely different from the other person. There is not one specific line that says: “Gay love is a sin.” And even if there was, I still wouldn’t give a fuck. It’s a book. A BOOK. I could live my entire life without reading the bible. It doesn’t affect me. It won’t kill me. If everyone built their lives around books they love word for word, a bunch of teenage girls would be running around trying to find a vampire that sparkles.
And the worst part about people that are so religious are the first ones to point fingers when it comes to people being gay. They hate that people love. Everyone has the right to love. Whether it be a man and a woman, a woman and a woman or a man and a man. Whether they are transgender or bisexual. And you people have the nerve to “get rid of the gayness in them”? You run businesses of trying to change people’s sexualities. Excuse me, but when did you decide to be straight? You didn’t. You didn’t CHOOSE to love the opposite sex. So do you think they chose to love someone of the same sex? I don’t think so. It’s normal. Love is normal. Love is love. Bottom line. Don’t try to tell me otherwise because i’d just laugh in your face. You’re an insensitive prick and I just stand up for what I believe in. I believe in love and i’m sure so do you. I just believe love can be in more ways than one.
Call me ignorant. Call me dumb. Call me insensitive. Call me a hater. Throwing words at me are just plain useless. I don’t care. I have my beliefs and you have yours. If you’re offended by anything I just written, well I can’t say I didn’t warn you.
