I am pissed off at something legitimate this time. Not just my computer, or things that I could probably fix if I wanted to, but something that I couldn't fix even though I would love to.
People being fucking idiots.
I know it's probably a really bad idea to post this here, but I'm giving you all warning: If you are really religious, don't read the stuff below.
Preface:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UmotTE-VlY My Response:
It is not just because this stupid little bitch is praising God for "grabbing Japan by the shoulders and shaking it" that I am angry, although that overwhelming insensitivity certainly doesn't help. So I'm going off on a tangent for a moment with an acrostic poem:
Can you seriously believe it was a good thing that all those people got hurt, and all those lives were lost, and all those homes and businesses--peoples' shelter and livelihoods--were destroyed? What the HELL is wrong with you?!
Unbelievable.
Nothing excuses this kind of response, this behavior.
That you would even think that is just...I can't even think of the proper words.
Now on to my rant. I am a bitter, resentful, judgmental, and often cruel bitch-type person. So any negative adjectives any Bible-Thumpers want to throw at me...? I DON'T CARE.
Here's what bothers me about religion:
- People thinking they're superior because they believe in something that may or may not exist.
- People trying to convert other people to their beliefs, which I just see as people trying to brainwash others so they don't feel like their ideas are completely retarded and useless.
- People who actively try to bash atheists or people of other religions because they won't conform convert.
- People who wish harm on innocent people just because they don't believe in God.
Of course there are many more things that bother me about religion, but I think these are common sense things. Things that aren't part of my personal vendetta or opinion about people who love God. Things sparked by this video that I've always thought really fucking sucked. As much as I would love to go off on a huge rant about religion, I really don't think it's worth quite that much of my time, because I still have other shit to do today, and either way it's not going to change anything.
Let me just say this:
IF I believed in God, my God would be awesome. My God would not smite people just because they didn't believe in him. My God would be laid back and forgiving. My God wouldn't even see a need for forgiving people who didn't believe in him because he would have given them free will, and therefore it would be their choice not to spend every fucking second worrying about whether or not they were pleasing him. My God would let people take care of their own fucking selves and would not take credit for anything GOOD or BAD that happened. Again, free will. My God would watch us like we watch TV. My God is interested in us. He thinks we're cool. He doesn't want to interfere and cause us extreme pain, because he's not a sadist. My God doesn't even know what Hell is. My God thinks you can go where ever the fuck you want when you die, just don't flip a bitch when you accidentally step on an ant.
In short, my God's philosophy is
KEEP CALM
and
DON'T FREAK
THE FUCK OUT
Ughh.Btw the warning is on here cuz I'm not sure I know how to use LJ cuts yet.
