I won't piss on you.....
Listen, in the united states we have something we like to call freedom of religion. It is a principle built into our constitution for good reason.
The puritans came here in pursuit of religious freedom, to escape persecution.
In today's day and age we should all keep this in mind. Do we, NO!
In my new home town separation of church and state does not seem to exist.
The school gives children specific religious holidays off. No I am not exaggerating, it is on the school calendar "NO SCHOOL, _______ " .
I am not going to list which religions holiday is given the day off from school, as to try to keep this unbiased to my readers.
Also, the local newspaper printed an entire article on how non believers of this faith are ruining holidays of believers, and how the believers must reclaim holidays, government and society in general as their own again.
This article made my blood boil!
It is so wrong for a public newspaper to print such an article. It is not a religious newsletter, but a free public news source! Also, this was not a "letter to the editor", but an actual article written by one of the news reporters!!!!
I don't care what another person believes in, be it Jesus, Jehovah, God, Buddha, Earth, Aliens etc. but have some courtesy for your neighbor, and keep your beliefs to yourself.
Stop trying to convert others, stop shoving it down our throats, and keep it the fuck out of schools and government offices!
In no country, or state in this world should others feel forced to go along with the majorities beliefs or feel persecuted!
Whats next, the minority religions will be punished for not going along?
There is a quote I once read that I feel not only brings humor to this subject, but explains my feelings maybe more clearly, although in a more lament show.....
"Religion is like a penis, It is fine to have one, It is fine to be proud of it, but PLEASE don't whip it out in public and start waving it around."
Keep your beliefs to yourself, in your home, or in your place of worship, and please keep it out of my face, and others!
Peace and Love,
B
