All of my Christian friends might not want to read this. You might hate me.
(Ha, "All" my friends.)
I just recieved some anonymous bullshit on Tumblr that really just made me want to vent.
Some Catholic or Christian found my page and saw some kind of atheist stuff I had posted and had quite a lot to say to me. Rather than reply to him/her, I decided to blog. Because, you know, that's how we gingers do it.
They critized me on my lack of belief in heaven and the usual.
All I have to say is that people who believe in religion, they believe it on faith. Faith's denotation is the belief of something with the lack of any solid evidence or proof.
I don't do that because, frankly, I'm not a freaking idiot.
I'm glad you think i'm an idiot.
ReplyDelete...
ouch.
..
oh well.
Of course, the one blog post you'd comment on.
DeleteWhen someone calls me and people like me a bunch of idiots for putting my "belief" in reason, of course I'm going to retaliate by calling theists idiots.
Sorry.
So go after the one person, no need for generalizing all people that believe in a religion as idiots. I've never hated on you for your beliefs...
ReplyDeleteFirst, I don't have beliefs. I have a lack of beliefs. Sorry. Pesky terminology.
DeleteAnd I don't hate people who believe that stuff. I personally believe it shows a lack of maturity. It doesn't mean I hate them and I'm totally fine being friends with people who are religious and I would never refuse to be friends with someone because of their religion.
Everyone is entiltied to their opinion and since I have become an atheist, I have thought it foolish to believe without basis.
Nothing personal.
Except it is personal. I have beliefs, therefore in your mind I'm an idiot.
ReplyDeleteWhich I don't quite appreciate.
I am a complete believer that one can be bookishly intelligent and religiously not.
DeleteYou are incredibly intelligent, surprisngly so. More than you seem to think you are.
But, anyone who believes in a higher power, an initial creator, is religiously repressed, in my opinion.
