I. Hate. People.
Missed connecting tram again. Not. Happy.
Before we begin, I might as well state that these are my thoughts, whole and unpure, and I stand for them. I am a sad, sad human being in some peoples' eyes, but that's never stopped me being me.

Where to start? I have no fucking clue. So far in my petty little life, I've met one person who called themselves Christian and actually lived up to the promise of it. I have nothing against Christianity, it's Christians I can't stand. I know I've said it before, but I'm a fan of rambling and repeating myself when I've got a good rant going so you have the choice of continuing to read or not.
I'm not ashamed of saying that what I feel for most people calling themselves Christians (as in those who pray, attend church and so on) today is very close to hatred. I'm walking on the very thin line between dislike and hate. I don't have that problem when it comes to other religions. Muslims? This way! Jews? Gimme a hug! Buddhists? Come on in!
Christians? Watch me hiss and spit and try claw myself up a wall. They better back away slowly.
I'm guessing that I'm a sad person for feeling this way, but I don't really care. I'm baptized, I went to the whole confirmation-thing and I come from a small place where Christianity is strong. I went to church during my confirmation-blah and I don't think I've ever felt so unwelcome in my whole life. Ever. The old hags sitting there didn't really appreciate getting new blood in, or they were too busy being eye-servants for the guy up there to try and actually welcome someone new.
Christianity is too much for the "Elite"; those who try to convert everyone they meet, those who think that to get anywhere, you've got to be a certain way and make sure that everyone around you is the same; those who are quite fast with throwing the first stone as soon as someone don't agree with them.
Yes, I do realize that there are people like that in all religions, but for some reason I don't have any problem with anything else than Christianity. It's my blind spot, my red flag or whatever you want to call it. Maybe because to me, all they stand for are lies and falseness. To me, there is nothing true, no real spark in their religion. And they try to make up for it by yelling when you don't listen.
I think that from the beginning, Christianity was a great idea. I think they were on to something there. But the way the last couple of thousand years have gone it's just shown that humans really can destroy anything. Now it's all about rules and what you can or can't do. You can't love whoever you want, and if someone doesn't think exactly like you - conform him into it.
No religion in history has as much blood on its hands as Christianity. The Crusades, for one thing, and then we have the witch hunts, for another. Not to mention the latest little quarrel from the big land overseas. He's all high and mighty and he's got God on his side, right? Except, maybe, when he's actually sent down to his Hell because of all the things he did, he'll realize that in God's eyes, he was nothing.
Do I believe in God? No, but I believe in a God. The Christian God is not more or less than any other god or goddess, he's just more known. Those days I actually do believe, it's usually in a Mother Earth. I'm not Wiccan, but maybe a Chaotic Satanistic Pagan if I really have to pin it down to something. I follow my own roads. I believe in the gods and the goddesses, in an all-caring Mother, but also that for myself I am the highest being.
Why I can't leave Christians alone? I will, when they leave me alone. When they stop trying to preach for me, when they stop trying to tell me how to live my life - then I'll leave them alone.
That's it. Tweetie's home and we're eating in a few.
