:: My Opinion is Right ... In my Opinion ::

Mar 27, 2004 20:42

You know what?

I am bloody sick and tired of religions. I know that this post is going to loose me basically my entire 'Friend' list, but I could care less. The people who choose to un-friend me will only be proving my point. That point being that religion causes far more problems than it solves.

A religion is an opinion, so why the hell are ( Read more... )

Ha, rather than making me run away and un-friend you, this post makes me respect you even more. And besides, if there really is a God, I really don't think he cares that some kid out of billions of people said something rude about him in his livejournal, so everyone who thinks he will is pretty stupid. Honestly. And, of course, you are right. I loved that bit about the witch burnings, that's something I've been saying for years.

Well I almost got struck by lightning today, but that happens a lot.

I agree with you completely, and I have no intention of removing you my list for stating the truth.

xxdracomalfoyxx March 28 2004, 10:30:27 UTC

Good.

No need for eloquence when you're dealing with ignorance. Especially when you're tired.

While I don't really agree with you, I'm not going to unfriend you for stating your opinion: that would be horribly hypocritical of me. May I just ask what sparked this rant?

xxdracomalfoyxx March 28 2004, 10:24:16 UTC

When have I ever required inspiration to rant?

Who do you think I am? Potter?

dreamingreader March 28 2004, 13:54:28 UTC

No, rants are all good I was just wondering if there was a specific event that brought this all up. I suppose not. And no, I have never assumed you are Potter.

Religion is a load of rubbish; that much is true. It's just a prefabricated bedtime story that a bunch of suckers are willing to put their lives on the line for. Then again, in an academic slant, the development of religion is an absolutely essential part of the progression of culture. Especially in ages where the lack of an omniscient diety standing over one's shoulder wagging a finger ended up in mass clan-warring and bloodshed--and because of this there was little to no communication between settlements and cultures. With the rise of Judeo-Christian doctrines came a set of laws that encouraged its followers not to kill eachother, which allowed large groups to come together. Not to mention, as it was adopted into mainstream government, it became engrained into human ethics as well. So, I guess you could say that, besides being the great sociological and philosophical motivator, we have religion to thank for our ability to progress into the peak of our culture ( ... )

Muggles just use him as an excuse.

They'll use the name of God to excuse anything; from wars on terror to wars on homosexuality. What other way is there to justify such a hideous race as humanity?

'Heathens'? What a dated word. It borders upon quaint. I'd adore a definition from your point of view before I take exception to it.
