creech, I think there are two stunningly great posts in this thread – the one you quote from zk is one of them, and edna’s is the other. Sometimes piggs amaze me.
I have never been a Christian, or any other religion for that matter. I can remember being 8 yo and my parents dragging me to church each Sunday, thinking wtf are all these crazy people doing in these pews?
Almost weekly I have smiling brainless twits appear on my doorstep salivating at the opportunity to foist their propoganda on me, the known neighborhood agnostic. I resent that, as I don’t try to convert Christians.
But I’ve always taken a live and let live approach, so I have been ambivalent to Christians in general. You can kind of sum up my feelings with this saying I found awhile back:
Religion is like a penis. It’s okay to have one. It’s okay to be proud of it. But don’t go whipping it out in public and waving it around.
But then Prop 8 happened, where Christians were dead set on enforcing restraints on other people, and justifying such an action by saying it is against their religion. They didn’t seem to care no one was forcing THEM to marry a same sex partner, they were simply dead set on making sure non-Christians lived by Christian rules.
Now I am very vocally anti-Christian. The gloves have come off. I speak my thoughts about Christians loud and clear every opportunity I get.
