So I was driving by the First Assembly of God Church, the one with the recently vandalized sign, and two guys were putting up a banner "Yes on 102" on the side of the church and I turned around, parked, and walked over to them.
"You should be ashamed of yourself!" I told them. "What?" they said. And then I proceeded to ask them why they thought it was alright to discriminate against their fellow tax-paying citizens. The very hot redhead (I've never seen a straight man so perfectly groomed) brought up the Bible as a reason. I asked him he ate seafood and when he said yes, I reminded him that that was banned in Leviticus. I told them that if they were following biblical rules, slavery should be legalized and polygamy.
The redhead then said it was a majority rule issue. I asked him again if it was alright to discriminate against fellow citizens. He seemed to think so. The old geezer started protesting me saying these things and I looked at him and said, "First Amendment rights" and shut him up. I guess speaking to a gen-u-wine faggot probably made him feel a little queasy. No opinions were changed, but it was important to me to confront bigots and let them know my opinion.
If you are religious, don't read beyond this point. I've warned you. Please click on some other link, go look at this cute racecar driver redhead's site, for instance. Again, don't read on because I may hurt your heart a little bit.
Religion is the biggest pile of bullshit. I have no respect for people who fervently believe in make-believe god(s). Yes, it is scary to die and, yes, it is nice to have someone tell you what to think (much easier than thinking for yourself). But grow up. Religion is a bunch of bullshit. Nothing in my life has convinced me that some higher being exists. It is all fear and fear and fear, mostly of death, that drives people to mindlessly believe the garbage that we call religion.
Over the last thousands of years how many gods and goddesses have people worshipped? It must be thousands. And the followers of God X or Goddess Y are/were completely convinced that the faithful believers of God Z are/were utterly, completely fucking wrong. If you don't believe in A or B, or do believe in C.2.b, you are going to fucking hell, to writhe around and burn and fuck who knows what. You have to believe in F and in G.7.b.II to get into Heaven. How could all of those people believe so utterly, thoroughly in Zeus and Athena, and yet they were apparently completely wrong and really, it is some other god that is real.
People have believed so much in particular gods that men have been willing to cut their balls off, drink the pretend blood and eat the pretend flesh of pretend Jesus, and willingly fly airplanes full of screaming people into buildings filled with thousands of people to gain entrance into heaven where they thought they would get to fuck 72 hot virgins. Tell me that isn't fucked. How many millions of people have been killed because of religion? One of the reasons it was so easy for the US to bomb the shit out of Iraq was because Iraq was full of Arab Muslims instead of pious Protestants. And while all of those people were getting blown up and maimed, Christians in the US were protesting abortion clinics because Christians are "pro-life," whatever the fuck that means.
Yes, Jesus was probably a person who lived in Palestine and got himself crucified. As an aside, I can't help wondering if he was so perfect, did he have a perfectly shaped cock? And why am I not being struck by lightning for typing that? I don't believe for a minute in any of the magical powers ascribed in him or in the miracles and images of Didn't-get-her-hyman-cracked Mary that keep appearing on tortillas and lead paint covered bedroom walls. But everytime an image of Mary shows up on a children's crap-covered diaper, thousands of people wander over to see it, take digital pictures of it, and generally think they are better people for doing so.
I feel nothing but disgust over the whole business. And it is a business, The people controlling the secrets (priests, preachers, imams) benefit financially and get a lot of power ordering people to do this and that. The Mormon church, the Catholic church, and the First Assembly of God Church in Tucson are full of people who believe that they are so much better than other people because they believe in their golden tablets and unbroken hymens and that putting "Yes on 102" banners on their walls does not make them bigots.
Fuck, religion is pathetic. Atheists, of course, are superior in every fucking way.
