I'm just tired of all the bullshit. I don't care anymore. Religion's no longer a respectable and respectful way to live your life to the fullest and respect other people's right to do so, however they may like it, as long as they reciprocate the same respect. No. Now it's nothing more than a sickeningly stupid, arrogant, and domineering tool of brainwashing, social dominance, and the perpetuation of an obviously false image of piety. Even if the "piety" is sincere and true, no one's going to give a shit if it looks like the same fucking bullshit. <br><br>Christianity is largely backwards. The loudest, most dominant school of Christian thought today is no better than in the ignorant dark-ages time of the Catholic church in Western Europe, including the Inquisition. The vomit-inducing thing about it is the way it's perpetuated: through ignorantly blind parenting that refuses to question tradition and the brainwashing, borderline insane fucknuts that try to indoctrinate kids in private "non-demoninational" schools. Horse shit. I went to a "non-denominational" school, and it turned out to be fucking Baptist. It ruined my life, and I'm in no mood to forgive them for their mission or their borked priorities as a goddamn educational institution. Oh, I'm fine now, because I don't care anymore. Well, that's not entirely true, because if I didn't care, then why am I still angry? The point is that when you're pressured to reject other people's opinions, knowledge, or experience--collective or otherwise--on the basis of landing in one of two possible afterlives or a dubious and restrictively ignorant moral code, then you need to reevaluate who you hang out with and whether or not they're worth your time.<br><br>See, I'm not perfect. But I'm not trying to be. I'm just being me. I don't want to "try" to be anything unless there's some goal I want to achieve for myself or for someone else. And if I want to feel vindictive against a dominant club of thought that permeates this country, then it's my own goddamn business. My challenge, however, is not to get swallowed up and blinded by my own rage and inability to forgive. That's a trap, and I know it. It'll never help anyone, least of all me. But that won't stop me from expressing my [out]rage every now and then.<br><br>I'm really sick of this shit. Religion is empty to me. I'd love to see the true value in it so I can share it with people--most importantly my family--but I just don't see it. In fact, I'm not sure I ever saw it. Who can blame me, though?

Well, that's not entirely true, because if I didn't care, then why am I still angry? The point is that when you're pressured to reject other people's opinions, knowledge, or experience–collective or otherwise–on the basis of landing in one of two possible afterlives or a dubious and restrictively ignorant moral code, then you need to reevaluate who you hang out with and whether or not they're worth your time.

See, I'm not perfect. But I'm not trying to be. I'm just being me. I don't want to “try” to be anything unless there's some goal I want to achieve for myself or for someone else.
