I think I just realized that parents take all their rules from god.
I went to visit my friend who is having her sex change in January at the mall on Friday, and on the way there I saw outside a bunch of protestors that held signs against Prop 8. Almost every one of them had a religious thing to do with it, and marriage. One of them even said, “Marrying Homosexuals is against my relgion!”
Well dumbnuts, YOU don’t have to marry a homosexual. I noticed at this point that if the Catholic Church had a tagline, or like, a catchphrase, it would be, “Because God Said So”. Because everytime they have a problem with something, they use that. I love that you can get religion behind anything you hate to get it banned these days, because enough people believe in it as well to follow you. But it’s the same as parents. You ask a parent why you can’t go to a party and they’re response would be, “Because I Said So.” Same with Catholics. Because God Said So.
The EXTREMELY annoying part to all of this is that half the stuff that they say you can’t do, is the most logical stuff. It’s religion, it doesn’t have to be logical. Catholics will say something much to the effect of, say, “You can’t kill someone.” That’s called murder. UNLESS THEY ATTACK US FIRST. If a country attacks us first, they’re completely behind marching into that country and destroying their way of life. As Carlin (my mentor, although he’d HATE to be called that) once said, “More people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason”. Another thing is holy water. What makes one glass of water more holy than another? Because it was blessed? Okay, well then everytime you say “Bless you” to someone, they are then a holy man/woman. Also, they never allow women to be pope or priests, they always have to be nuns, so sexism runs rampant even in a place where “God loves everyone equally”, ya know, except for those they hate, like the jews and the blacks and women.
Some guy could get tried for something and still possibly get off because you get enough people of one faith on a jury, it won’t matter what henious crime that guy committed, they feel his “pain” and they love him for believing in “their” god. I honestly sometimes just need to rant, bitch and rave about these things.
And I wouldn’t have even written this post, except God said I should.
