Got salvation?
Religion. One of the most controversial subjects there is. I am a sort of atheist I suppose you could say. However, my closest friend is a Christian and he is terrific. Me and him, we’re like brothers. Now, I don’t see Religion as a bad thing, but how religion is handled? Hoho that’s different indeed.
A good religion follower should:
1)Be satisfied with his religion
2)Not try to shove it onto other people
3)Not make the religion look bad
4)Don’t get pissed at shows like Monty Python’s Life of Brian which mocked only the followers of religion and not religion itself.
I’m sure any non-religious radicals will agree with the above points. And back to Life of Brian, my friend who is a Christian, and his family who are the same, they laughed at the film. Alot. The people of religions who are stupid are the ones who go on the street and shout ‘JESUS LOVES YOU, AND YOU, AND YOU’ with a loudspeaker. For fucks sake worship who you want but don’t fucking tell us about it. And no the example is not a steriotype, I have actually seen it.
When Jehova’s witness come to my door I tell them I’m a satanist and close the door. Sometimes the door-to-door christians are very very good and one time, they said the bible didn’t mention anything about Hell. Which I thought was good.
Most religions are interpreted wrongly by their followers. And all religions are usually the same. Except for Buddhism which focuses on Siddhartha Gotama, a man who reached enlightenment. Yes, a -man-. Not a god or the son of god or anything.
I am tolerant of other peoples religions. I think it is great when you have something to believe in. But please don’t tell me about it unless I ask. And when I’m waiting for the bus, I don’t want somebody shouting into my ear about how I need to go to Christianity or I’ll burn in hell. Which is complete crap anyway.
