"Accept God!" "I will when He accepts me!"

I can fully respect if you are religious and go to church/mosque/temple or whatever religious site. That is not what I have an issue with. I have an issue with you when you start trying to convert people to your religion. When you start threatening them with damnation if they don't follow your religion. Then we have a problem.

What I truly don't understand is why you care if someone goes to Hell. That should be their choice, and if they enjoy their time while they are on Earth, maybe they consider it worth it.

Another thing that bothers me is when people try to make laws based on religion. Laws like gay rights, for example. If two people fall in love and both decide they want to get married, who are you to tell them they can't. If you bought a burger and I stole it and threw it away because I was on a diet, you'd be pissed off, right?

Now I have to bring up the hypocritical people who say they're against gay marriage because it says it's a sin in the Bible. But then they shave their beards, eat shellfish, and wear cotton-polyster mix clothes.

Then there are the people who say they're against it because they're defending the sanctity of marriage. Funny how I don't see anyone trying to make laws about marriages like Brittany Spears'... Why is it that no one complains if the two have only known each other for a matter of hours, all of which both of them were drunk off their rockers, or if they are both on their seventh spouse, just so long as it's a man and a woman?

I suppose it boils down to mind your own business and don't try to make laws based on your religion. And if you do decide to make laws that totally invade privacy such as marriage, don't complain when some of your private matters have laws interfering them as well.


Sorry if that was ranty, this is one of my big pet peeves. Leave me a comment!
