OH NO YOU DIDNNNN'T BEEYOTCH!

Why yes. I did. I went so far as to insult Atheism AND Christianity in one beautiful go.

Just what the hell possessed me to risk my life, you ask?

Okay. I have a few issues with both religions. And yes, you Atheists, you ARE religious.

(From Dictionary.com. And I wuv you. <3)

7.	religions, Archaic. religious rites.

Yes, it IS most common to use religion with Christianity. But Atheism is a religion too. So cut that bit of argument out.

My problem with Atheism is (Another OH NO YOU DIDN'T moment.) is that they are all so stuck up, stereotypically. But I will be honest -- about every Atheist I've met (And I've met a LOT) have been very 'I'm better' about their beliefs, with little to no tolerance towards other religions. I am a huge fan of being tolerant. AGREE TO DISAGREE. Okay? No, I'm not saying give the nutjob on the street excuses to say shit. No. But just because someone is a Christian, a Buddhist, or something different then you does not under any circumstances label that person an idiot.

Another tiff with Atheism is that Evolution is... shit. I've watched Christian seminars and Atheist seminars alike, and Christian ones make the better sense. Sea shit to people? LOL. You have no proof. Yeah, you've got your fossils and your other crap, but where is the rock-solid, irrevocable proof that you're right and we all suck?

YOU HAVE NONE. My great-great-great-great 1000 something aunt was NOT a monkey.

And, you little sweet Christians are not going to be left out.

To be fully honest, a lot of my friends are Christians, and they are very nice people, and they  tolerate my beliefs. Some of them are a bit pushy, but if you somewhat ignore that, they're great people who mean well and you don't  feel like you're being looked down on.

So, yes. No complaints on acting.

My complaint?

Beliefs.

I'm sorry, sometimes I gotta LOL at the sheer... idioticy that you dig yourselves into. You take things so LITERALLY. I mean, srsly. 7 days? More like 7 billion years. Evolution is right on one part -- crap didn't just explode into the air like POOF ZOMG STUFF. It took TIME, like everything does.

And this Satan shit? LOL, YOU GUYS. LOL! It's so... far-fetched. I mean, some guy's telling me that I should say FUCK YOU GRAMMAH? ... Hmmm. Okie-dokie. It's great.... for little kids. I mean, yeah, the Bible is probably one of the  greatest works of literature out there. Fantastic morals and a riveting story... but that's like swearing up and down that Harry Potter is real. Or His Dark Materials. Or any other book you see in the Fictional section.

So. My biggest thing between you two epically huge religions.

YOU DON'T HAVE A GODDAMN BIT OF PROOF ON ANYTHING.

The Bible is historically accurate. Let me clear that up right now.

God or no God? No proof.

7 days or 7 billion years? No proof.

Jesus, we could be all worshipping a Flying Spaghetti Monster, for all we know! (FSM FTW.)

One last thing though, on Atheism.

How can you possibly think there IS no god? Or some sort of supernatural being, not neccessarily requiring love and adoration, but just... something. It might not give a damn or it might have it's nose in everyone's business, but something that is there. There are entirely too many things in my life that I can't just say 'Coinky-dink' to. I  have met people who have changed my life, I've seen things that shook me to the core, heard stories about things that couldn't be done by human power alone. If anything, listen to music. REALLY listen to it. That, alone, is proof to me that the supernatural exists. LOVE, for god's sakes.

What's your religion, Rainy?

I have no religion, but if I was forced to label myself, I'd go for naturalistic lover. Not lover as in hot steamy sex or pizza-lover, but in doing stuff for others, going out of your way to smile or help someone. Sounds cheesy as Miley Cyrus, but we could all use a little love in our lives.

THIS HAS BEEN A RAINY DAY PUBLIC BRODCASTING! WOOT!

-DDS <3

Someone, please, give me an answer.

Why is it neccessary to inflict this on other people? Why do you force people to do these things? Why do you RAPE them? Why do you think that turning such a good emotion into a weapon is right? NO ONE deserves that. I don't wish for anyone to go through that type of hell. It ruins and scars your life, physically and more importantly emotionally. It's goddamned awful and it's happening to way too many people on a constant basis.

I can't stand it. Why is this happening?! I know that 'they just do', bad things happen to good people, the good guys don't always win. But... there has to be logic to everything. Where the hell is the sense in rape?!

I was molested by a close friend and later a relative when I was young. I've been there, I've done that.

Why is this happening?! Just because of what you believe or what you think?

I want to do something, I want to STOP this from happening. I feel so helpless, like it's just out of my reach, like I could honestly help people.

Why?
