Due to a conversation I had with adam, I decided to write this.

Religion - Bad!

	Religion to me is a four letter word, and it becomes more so with each passing day because of idiots and their
"Holy Wars".  Since when was it ok to kill someone just because their god has 2 arms and yours has like 8?  It sounds
a lot like a gang war to me.  I am reminded of a George Carlin bit:
"Do you believe in god?"
"no"
"Bang! You're dead"
"Do you believe in god?"
"yes"
"Do you believe in MY god?"
"no"
"Bang! You're dead. My god has a bigger dick than your god"
Which to me is more accurate that other explanations.  Some morons out there think their god is higher and mightier
than other people's god, and that going on a killing spree in the name of their god is going to get them into heaven
valhalla or nirvana or whatever your stupid religion calls it.  I personally am not atheist or whatever, I think it's
called agnostic, something in that area.  I don't follow christianity or catholicism or buddha or jews, I think there
may be some supreme being that started this whole mess called the universe, but I'm certainly not going to worship
it or sacrifice small kitties or kids to it.  I think of it as a person who starts a little sea monkey thing.  All
you really do is create the area for them to live, drop them into their container and watch them go. Sure, if you're
an evil bastard you'll fuck with them, but I haven't seen any large straws come down and suck people out of their
town, so we got a good one. Anyway. Where was I... religion... ok.  Maybe I wouldn't be so against religion if
people would use common sense also, instead of blaming satan or praising god.
"Oh Shit! I found a penny, the lord must love me!" or
"Oh Shit! I lost my wallet, lord, striketh down the devil tyrant so that my wallet may appear before me, rather than
me looking for it and finding it on the couch where I left it, striketh him down good!"
See that pisses me off. That's like people calling psychics wondering where their keys are or where a baseball card
they had 20 years had gone, but I'll go to the "Psychic Hotline" rant on a later date. 
I want to create my own religion, pappyism. It would basically be satanism only with a more user-friendly name.  
A lot of people knock on satanism just because it has the word satan in it, not knowing that satan has nothing to do
with it.  I try to denounce religion and god whenever I can, because I know what I'm saying offends people, but will
otherwise have no effect on me. To me it's just words, to others it's The Devil! but I haven't been hit by a
lightning bolt or anything so there. 
On the other side of the coin we have people who try to be against religion because they think it makes them look
cool. *coughadam* ahem, sorry, got a little cold going.  See adam may not have liked god too much, but he certainly
denounce him or anything, until that is joe's values and beliefs came along, then adam busts out with this:
"I am the antichrist! I am everything god doesn't want me to be!" so I got up and left. 
Do you ever meet someone and they only drill one thing into the ground because they think it's what you're into?
Like if they know you're a bowler and all they go on about is bowling and how they suck or whatever, that annoys me.
He doesn't have to and try to be the "antichrist" he just needs to know that god is a piece of crap who doesn't even
exist but in people's minds because they needed an entity to blame things on. People are so mindwashed into
this crap.  They're usually not given a choice. I'd like to see that, when parents have a kid, when they're old
enough, they give them a choice to be a christian or whatever religion, or none at all, instead they shove their
own beliefs down their kid's throat, and the kid will either accept it, or it will backfire and the kid will hate it.
I hate it. I think I'm done. Sure. I could go on forever but you probably won't read forever, out.
