So, this is to say, if you use your religion to justify hating gay people, or people from other religions, you need to stop. It's not what it's meant for. (The greed bit refers to people LIKE the early Europeans, who decided that spreading and forcing Christianity on everyone who wasn't Christian and not tolerating people who weren't was the best excuse for gaining land). This refers to ANY religion or belief system that hates because of what others believe. I've been targets multiple times for being an atheist (I've been called a devil worshipper, the anti-Christ, a Satan worshipper, the devil, evil incarnate, evil, a heathen, and a witch before, and many more, none of which were true).

Sorry I only got three little symbols on there. I was going to add a lot, but then I ran out of room and couldn't figure out how to get the rest of them on anyway.

If you flame me, I've had too much experience to even try and reason with you. I'm just going to ask you politely to go away and stop spamming, and if you don't, I will block you and report you as spam.

Fav'ing because you're right... it needs to stop. And I've been harassed myself, because I am Asatru. All the values people teach in most religions are the same. Love everyone, listen to your parents, obey the laws of your country/town/family.

People seem to ignore that part about LOVING everyone more often than they observe it.

It's quite sad that something meant to be so good, can end up so bad.

Thanks.. yeah, it does. O.O I've never heard of Asatru.. it sounds interesting..
People think because I'm atheist, that I have no morals or something...

Heh, I do that too. Yes, I hate a lot of people. But more because they drive me insane than because of their religion and stuff.

That's why I won't have anything to do with religion at all. I'll believe whatever the hell I want to believe without associating myself with them...

I don't care if I give off the air of being Agnostic or Atheist...no offense, they just get really bad reputations...

Asatru believe in the Norse Gods. Loki, Thor, Odin, etc. Basically, we're Pagans with a Norse bit of seasoning. :P

It's not that you lack morals. I'll bet you lack morals about as much as I do. I suppose it's in how you were raised. I was raised to believe there is a 'Higher Power'. And when I started reading more and advancing my studies, I drew my own conclusions. My parents have no issue with it, the rest of my family thinks it's fun to make fun of me, but I don't give a crap. XD They can do what they want.

And I don't hate people so much as I dispise how they treat other people in their campaign to convert everyone under the sun to their religion and worship their 'God'. I haven't lost full faith in humanity quite yet. Though with all the rabid Twilight-tards running around, what little faith I have is draining with each attack I hear about..

O_O That sounds cool. It's a good thing you don't believe in Irish Celtic gods and goddesses, or you'd have to sacrifice people to keep the gods happy.

XD so true. The rest of your family needs to get a life.

I hate people who drive me insane. Period. And a lot of people drive me insane. And I really don't like people who hate on other people because of their religion. I try not to automatically be biased against Christians due to a really bad experience with a bunch in middle school, but it's not working really well. At least I'm trying. O_O Twitards are a pain in the butt...

I think every way of life gets a bad rap from someone.
