I ran into one (I was alone of course) on a street corner last Monday, and still remember his exact words.

"Our community has three problems, which has made it a living hell.

1. Homosexuality
2. Sexual activity before marriage
3. Lesbianism"

Since I was the only one there he stopped after I was about 10 feet from him. And yes, I do know that number 3 is the same as 1, but that's what he said.
[/quote]UGH

I am SO happy I was not present. All caps rage would ensue.

This is another reason why I hate many religions. Please don't take offense, I don't hate people that practice it.

I take offense to that though. Religion isn't the problem, it's the hypocrites that practice it. I for one enjoy religions, it's just some of the people can get really stupid and annoying to it.

1. They're not forcing YOU to become one. They're not harming anyone, so let them be if that's their preferences.
2. Oh god. Large rage coming up. If two people truly love each other, surely being on some paperwork isn't going to make an difference. Again, they're not harming you. If they want to have sex, let them. If she wants to get pregnant, let her. Again, how
is it harming the community? People don't have to be married to be good parents.
3. Same as number 1.

People these days <_<

On this, no people don't have to be married to be good parents, but it's good practice. I'm not saying it's completely wrong, I'm just saying it's a good practice to get into.

good practice yes, but going all rage mode on those who don't is just silly. I'm not religious at all, And won't ever be because of all the loopholes. How many religions are there? They all say THEY are right, but in actuality, who IS right? Christians say Buddhists are wrong, etc.

I'll go right out and say it, I'm Christian, and I've pretty much come to terms with the possibility that I'm screwed and might just end up dying and living in some firey abyss, or that I'll be reincarnated as some slug. I still stick with it. It could just be that I was brought up in a Christian family, but I'm 20 now, I can make choices, and I have.

Religion is fine as long as you only have it as a guide and not let it control your life. I'm open minded about it, people want to be religious, let them. People want to be scientific, let them. As long as you're not harming anyone or their ideals, I think it's fine to be who you are. I honestly can't believe an afterlife at all.

You gotta remember, ironically the most intolerant people out there are the most religious, usually. People pervert the meaning of stuff like the Bible (whatever its true meaning is, because I have no idea) to suit their own needs, and belittle (or worse) people who don't share their beliefs. Stuff like that is one of the reasons I turned atheist.

I'm only 17 but I feel like I'm in a different generation than both my parents and people my age...

And that FB quote made me lol.

OT: Twilight, I've been meaning to ask, in your avi, who is TS dressed as?

It's sort of funny how a country so addicted to sex is so stuck-up on censoring it. Luckily, the UK isn't the same. We atleast arn't as much of a sex crazed country as the US. Though to be honest the world is sex crazed and has been for years. Blaming all problems on sex is silly. So, by their logic... Reproducing the race is pointless? I'm sorry, this is a lot to take in all at once. Sex isn't the problem, it's peoples lack of motivation to do anything, I mean I want to get a job as soon as I can. I'm not poor for my age, but I still want a job, just to do something. Or I could sit around and blame something for all the problems I have. With the whole world being sex crazed, it easily gives ammo for someone to whine at others. If
you don't want a job, but do something for the community or something, fine. If you sit on your ass all day doing nothing and whining, no.

Whooves, it's Ragna the Bloodedge. Same guy in my Siggy tag thing. He's the "protaganist" of BlazBlue.

I once wanted to move to America. Until I realised what an horrible idea it was. England for life. Like, I always prepare for the worst to happen. Some people say that's sad. It makes you more happy as an indiviual because you feel better when things go better than expected. I told you my rant would be long, so more ranting time. If you're again saying derp people should be married before they have sex because derp and then ranting that they should be married to prevent aciddents or something, that's just flawed LOLgic that proves you're being daft. As far as I'm concerned, you can't make your girlfriend/love interest/wife pregnant by mistake. <_< If you have sex, expect it to happen. People who try to make comparisons for no reason also make me mad. Stop comparing things to say they're evil. Your definition of evil is different to others.

My definition? Something that harms someone or something else. Physicially, mentally whatever. Note that most scientific processes are hated on by religion. Again, why should you hold back who you are? It makes almost no sense and is illogical in almost everyway.

ironically I've many times wanted to move away from America (The subject of this topic being one of the reasons) then I realized I had no money, and very few contacts outside of America.
I agree with the evil thing, although I'm wondering who your ranting about. You seem to be arguing with imaginary people.

This is what I find odd. I mean, shows that are censored are hit hard, but those that are not censored do whatever they want. Its just another double standard which doesn't make sense, but the general populace does it to make them feel good about themselves.

OT: Is it just me, or has there not been a lot of scientific research done in America recently? The things I read I usually from Europe or Asia, in regarding to discoveries and such. I think America focuses more on inventing over researching.

I wouldn't say that we're really stuck up about censoring sex, (we are little), as much I would say we're overly lenient with violence.


Anyway, I've noticed the majority of you are saying, "Look at this guy, he's so stupid because he's imposing X opinion on me when really Y opinion is correct." The fact that you don't agree with someone's opinion doesn't make their crazy ranting about it right or wrong. It would be just as retarded (and a hilariously ironic) to stand on the corner with a sign screaming about how religion is evil and should be destroyed.



Also I seriously lol'd at the
1. Homosexuality
2. Pre-marital sex
3. Lesbianism

Can this guy count? It's like something you'd hear the stupid character say from a cartoon.
