whatever
No I don't believe that if somebody believes in something different to me it should be destroyed. I have no problems with people believing in religion or whatever the fuck they want, I mean my own family are religious, I however, am not. I do not want any of it shoved down my throat by anyone. I prefer to think of things from a scientific fact based basis, as this to me is far more tangible, than a book/s written thousands of years a go, by some random person. To me, when you die, you die. End of. Another thing that gets me is that being a gay man, all of these religions have no place for someone like me in their 'flock' unless I repent all my 'sins' for being gay...I was born this way...the way 'god' made me.

People that say that the word of the bible etc etc insert religious book of choice...is an absolute mantra to which we all must live can go fuck themselves, Ok great if you want to structure your life round a instruction manual, great, go for it. I however, do not want or need too.

And another thing, how can an all loving, all caring god watch good people die? Try watching your own mother die slowly of cancer, and then your best friend die from an overdose bought on by post natal depression after 8 months of marriage then look at her daughter growing up knowing she has no mother and tell me that god will comfort you.....I can tell you from my personal experience that nothing, not a made up story in a book, nothing can help you deal with that, and yes I am still bitter, so if you have a smart comment then fuck off with it.

And another thing, i don't read the Sun. I made the comment about priests molesting children, as it seems to be on BBC news or another reputable news source every other week, and it always seems to be Catholic Priests!!! Dunno why...must be something in the water.

End

You're sort of preaching to the converted with some of this:
But: I'm an atheist. I said that before. Therefore, I don't believe that there is an all-loving God who watches people die for no good reason. That's nature, sadly, and at least on that point I think we can agree. Of course there would be no 'smart comment' about friends and family of yours dying, I'm not a total arse, thank you.
