Before any Christians or what not get mad at me because of the title of this entry, hear me out.
I am a follower of the Roman Catholic faith. I believe in God and the Christ. The one thing I don't believe in though is using The Bible to dictate how everyone else should live their life.
I am really irritated right now at the Christians and the Catholics whose only excuse for believing that something is wrong is "Well,uh, like, The Bible says it's bad so there!". Who the heck gave them the right to go around saying that God's Way is the only way? What the heck makes them think that they are so smart that they know what's best for everyone or how everyone should live their life?
If you think something is wrong and you disagree with someone about it, fine, that's what makes life interesting but if you don't have at least one original thought in your head to back up your opinion then you are ignorant. God gave you and brain and He wants you to use it!The Bible is a great book that teaches alot of good values and alot of good things but it was not meant to think for you. If you can't think for yourself then you need to seek help because something is wrong with you. Humans are supposed to think for themselves. Our minds are such amazing gifts and they go to waste because people just refuse to use them.
Basically I'm saying is the all the pushy people who like to push their religion on everyone else need to know these things: You do not know what is best for everyone, you do not which religion is right and which one is wrong, you do not know if The Bible is the Truth and you most certainly do not have *any* right whatsoever to tell someone that they are going to hell because they don't see things the way you do.
This goes for Christians, Jews, Buddhists or anyone else. I don't care how right you think your faith is you have no possible way of knowing for sure so don't go around pretending you do because you don't and you're being rude and hurtful and ignorant.
*steps off her soap box* There, I feel alot less annoyed now that I said that . . .
