In other news... I have so much to say here.... But, I don't want to get lynched by the "brain dead Jesus freaks" (thanks KK).

....Ahhh, hell, who am I kidd... LETS START A RIOT!

It said in the bible, (not verbatim) "If you are fasting, do not decline to groom yourself. Wear your best robe, go out and greet the world." I think that this can be directly applied to bible thumpers, and even people who wear religious shirts. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. If you are a good Christian, people will be able to tell by what you do, not what you wear or what you say. Christianity has become a fad, and that sickens me.

Christianity isn't about your past sins, so don't bash the organization for honoring a man who made past mistakes. By pointing your finger and shaming someone, you're making yourself look like you're worse of a person than the people you point your finger at.

Christianity is about setting an example, and real Christians are about trying to liberate us from shame. If somebody does otherwise and claims to be a Christian, they're not a very good Christian. Just like there are good and bad Muslims. We shouldn't hunt down and kill every Muslim because a vast minority of them are terrorists. Be angry at the individual, not the organization.

If this is true, then why have there been 3 (debatably 4) crusades? Is that because Christianity is all about accepting people who are different? I think not. Its because throughout history, Christianity has been about converting everyone, smiting the wicked (ie anyone who is different), and controlling anything they can. Want to argue? Lets talk about the inquisition then!

Basically, Christianity (largely those who Find Jesus or are Born Again... or anyone who is blindly obsessive) works on a McCarthyistic principal. (McCarthyism = "Big lie Theory" = Tell a big enough lie, to enough people, and eventually they'll believe it) McCarthy is translated to Christianity by people thumping their Bibles loud enough, or wearing enough Religious Based clothing that the fact that they "look" like good Christians will hide the fact that they are "NOT" good Christians.

I have no problem with religion. But I completely loathe people who try to push anything ANYTHING on another person.

Its ok, I'm Catholic. Therefore I'm right.
