    That's A good attitude to have and you are RIGHT.

    That's why I do not like religion. Religion tells people that Gays are an

    abomination and it breed hatred towards them. Religion also has

    this conformity thing. Where they map out the only right way to be

    and if your not living up to that standard then they label you an infidel

    or a sinner or something like that. Religion also imposes things upon

    people to live up to I think > some of it is unreasonable.

    So I don't like that anymore. They brainwash you to believe certain things

    and like force you to like word for word live buy their rules and its all

    baloney. Now Some of it is good. The do teach that lying is wrong and

    stealing is wrong and that you should be sober and not overdo it

    with alcohol and drugs and that you should be at peace with people

    and be kind... and I agree with that. But then Religion goes to far

    and starts to like impose things upon you that I think are unreasonable

    and they don't want you to think for yourself either. They expect you to

    agree with their rules on everything and I dont always agree.

    So I do have a belief in Goodness and that is my concept of God

    But I think that all people should be loved and accepted so long

    as they are good and respectful of others. I see these religious

    people like these >> crazy folks who go to the funerals of fallen

    US solders with their hate signs.. saying that is God killing our troops

    and their hate signs against gays and that makes me sick.

    People like that should be deported.



    Hatred towards people is not right and trying to thank God for our solders

    dying in battle is a disgrace to our country.

    The only religion the world needs is GOODNESS

    Just be a good person and be respectful of others and

    get along with people and do something positive with your time

    while you are hear on earth and that is the only religion you ever need.



    Religion has sparked more wars and been the cause of more nutcases

    flying planes into buildings and setting off bombs in public places,people

    committing suicide and persecuting more people than any other aspect of life

    and I want no part of it. Religion also is the source of other messed

    up ideas. Like catholics tell their priests the cant have sex with a woman

    so then what? They wind up molesting little children. Nice job. NOT.



    I cant stand any group or mindset that causes people to hate other people

    for no reason. The only thing I am against is when people are mean or

    hateful or disrespectful or violent to other people. I love people

    of any size or economic background or any race and dont care

    what side of the tracks they are from, and I dont care how they get their

    lovin'. Of they are straight, Bi, Gay or celebate that makes no difference

    to me.



    The only thing I care about

    when I meet a person is that they are a good person.

    I also don't like how religion tries to destroy the individuality in people.

    they want you to be a carbon copy of what they think is right and that is

    evil in my opinion. People are different and the differences in people

    (the good differences) is what makes the world a wonderful place

    I like that people dress different and have different backgrounds and

    different interests. I like that people have the right to their own opinion

    and have the right to pursue happiness in their own way... so long as it

    does not harm others. I like your post.

    You are a good person and you are advanced in your way of looking

    at the world and accepting people.

    what a boring world it would be if we were all the same. Our differences are what make for interesting discussions about a large variety of life events without anyone taking offense. We all see life differently bringing our own life experiences into everything we think and feel. We all live different lives, but we all have value. Hurray for diversity.

    MDM - Exactly. It's sad that so many people just don't get it. I'm glad that many people I know share my view on this.

    Thanks for liking this. It means a lot. =)

    Hitler tried to create a world of all the same type of people, and as messed up as he made life for everyone else (I don't take it lightly) still look how it turned out for him. Us who stick together with all of our differences have prevailed much longer than he did, and we will continue to do so.



    I like this story, and it has real meaning for me. Thank you for sharing!
