Religion is a joke

I saw this recently on some one's facebook page.



I didn't think much of it really. Just another person angry at an old lady who "judged" them at church one time.....I see it all the time.



But then I looked at their pictures. It was an old friend and I wanted to see how they were doing. Wow, did I find out what they thought about "religion".....one religion in particular.....I am sure you can guess.



There were several photos making fun of Christianity. I didn't get angry, because by now I am used to it, and I hate that, but it did give me the thought....."Why waste your time?"



I mean seriously, ok, you think the fact that some people have blind faith is hilarious. You think that anyone who believes in anything supernatural is an uneducated, hypocritical prick.....ok, ok.



let me mention, however, that ghost hunters are totally fine, right?? I mean, at least it's not a god!!



But what you believe, is none of my business. I could care less. Do my beliefs affect your life? I don't think so. I do not intentionally offend anyone.



But that is exactly what you are doing my openly making fun of I any religion.



That's the thing thing. You don't see people making fun of Buddhism, or Hinduism, or any other religion. No. It's Christianity.....why????



Oh, wait, I know why.....



Because Satan is REAL and he knows which God is real too.....



But I am not going to get on a rant about that. Because that is not what this is about. I know that if you are an atheist reading this, you don't believe in God and you don't believe in Satan. So let's keep this on an earthly level.



When you make fun of Christianity....or for the sake of this post, let's say I any religion, even though we know that's not going to happen.......a few of your friends might chuckle, your fellow atheist will probably think it's hilarious, but do you know what you look like to EVERYONE especially....especially those of us who are no longer in the 6th grade (yes, that includes atheist because some of them actually have respect, unlike you).....a jerk. You look like a bitter jerk.



It does not make you look smart and it does not make anyone respect you.



Why is it important to respect other religions? Because we have to live with each other!!



No matter where you think you are going or not going when you die, right now, we are all here. Why argue over crap like that??



I will tell you what I think and then I am done. If you have more questions, even critical ones, I am happy to answer them, but I am not going to make fun of what you believe, because I am not 7 years old.



Grow up and understand that hurting people's feelings, intentionally, is not cool and it doesn't make you appear intelligent, or enlightened. It just makes you look like a douche bag.



If more people read my blog I am sure I would get some angry comments like "Religion is the reason people are so hateful!" and "You are telling Atheists not to make fun of you, but you are making fun of them!"



for the record I am not making fun of atheists, I am making fun of pricks. This whole thing can go both ways



But if this were a long post about how Christians suck and "F*** their god" (yea....it's a freakin teeshirt) I would get nothing but praise.



What the crap????



Believe what you want, I'll do the same, and can we please try to act like adults about it???
