oh wait, but maybe they ARE real...
ok so bad example. but it just really annoys me when people inject their crazy, irrational supernatural beliefs into the spheres of public life, foreign policy and science, and basically just bully everyone else that doesn't share those beliefs into accepting them or punish them for having different crazy, irrational supernatural beliefs.
[and i would just like to add that i do have my share of crazy, irrational supernatural beliefs, and as a religious studies concentrate at gallatin (HAHJAHAHAHA) i don't judge others, unless THEY judge others first. then they are fair game. and i'm not even going to get into all the inconsistencies and questionable ethics in certain religious texts but i like this site a lot.]
