I need to stop associating Christians with negativity. Ever since the 377A debates started (and perhaps way before that, when Prop 8 was being voted on in the US and the recent Presidential elections), I've been feeling rather... ambivalent towards Christians. Mainly because I always get the impression that the most vocal ones I see are the most insane with their hatred and condemnation. I know that there are plenty of good Christians out there. I have awesome friends who are Christians and that does not bother me. But when I find out about someone's religion, there is always this moment where I would be terribly uneasy and wonder if things would change because I now possess that knowledge.
I know it would not. I know I would still treat them the same.
Yet there will always be this pause of unease, as though as their religion and opinion matters.
It doesn't.
