What follows is more like a story than a journal entry, though the events are taken from my rather interesting start to the day. This is likely very dull. ;]
2) I'm of the opinion all religions follow the rules they like. Organized religion is a play on human defences, used to manipulate the masses. It's all a big damn mess, is what it is. Look at history and then tell me to my face that organized religion is not pure malice.
As satisfying as that is, whenever I decide to rip into someone I get back my stutter and end up looking like the fool, really. So perhaps my choice of the higher road isn't entirely due to compassion. ;]
That said... I dunno, going after people for beliefs makes me just tired, y'know? They're as likely to change their minds as I am, which is decidedly not likely. (The fact that "They" can't provide me with logical reasoning also assists this.) If they want a good, decent debate, I'm all for it-- but if they're just there to push their beliefs on me, I'll tell 'em I think they're wrong and send 'em on their way. I try not to waste my breath.
