At the risk of offending one or more people who visit this blog on a regular basis, which by the current odds would be 15 out of the 20 of you… and I thank you, really I do, for stopping by whether you leave comments or not, but I can’t dare stay silent on this one any longer. Like I discovered yesterday, releasing a tumor might be painful at first but it’s liberating enough.
Ever since I was made to go to church by my bible thumping grandparents week after grueling week from childhood all the way to high-schoolhood, I developed a dislike? nah, more like hate for the church that I can’t pass by one in my car without feeling the need to burp, break wind and say FuCk! all at once. And it wasn’t the fact that I hated it that turned me against god, it was the fact that I never believed in god that sealed my future as a person who would never step foot into a church again unless I was going to a wedding or a funeral. I was made to fear god so I was always afraid to admit to myself that I don’t believe so I never did until recently. It’s quite complicated. So whatever.
That’s ok tho, I don’t HATE ALL CHRISTIANS or anything like that. I can co-exist. In fact I spend most of my time looking at blogs run by christians. Just about 90% of all the blogs I come across are run by god believers. I comment on them, no problem. What KILLS me is the lack of atheist/agnostic blogs out there. OK, I know they must be out there but goddam why can’t I find them!!
If I read one more fucking quote from the bible or some more nonsense like “I’m a mother that loves the Lord” or “created for HIS glory” I’m going to puke!! I mean, did I write anywhere on here that I’m an agnostic coming real damn close to throwing in the towel and just calling myself an atheist?
I really do enjoy reading the blogs I’ve found but I visit many I don’t have on my blogroll everyday where it’s nearly impossible to ignore the hot pink H1 letters in bold that overlap with their post text in a badly designed site that say some bullshit like ” for heth doth saveth my lifeth”
OK, OK, I know I know.. It’s their blogs, they can put on it whatever the hell they want but JESUS FUCK THE CHRIST!!
OK, I’m probably going to go to hell but, I have to admit that I laughed when I read this post. Tee hee.
I understand what you are saying TOTALLY. I am a “good Catholic” mom and I go to church every Sunday but, I’m with you. Give it a break already. All the bible verses and on and on and on does get a bit . . . . . nauseating.
I will admit that I occasionally will mention that I am “blessed” or that I “thank God” for this or that on my own blog but Geez. Some of them are off the wall in my opinion.
About your comment stating that “OK, OK, I know I know.. It’s their blogs, they can put on it whatever the hell they want”. . . . . at least you are not bashing them on their blogs. You aren’t leaving nasty comments or going to blog-bashing sites and using their names and providing their URLs so that others can go and bash them.
You have a right to state your opinion on your blog as much as they do and you haven’t pointed anyone out in particular or bashed anyone so, in my book, you are good.
Now go and have a Blessed Day! (tee hee)
Reply to knittingnurseHey, thanks for not flaming me! Yes, nauseating is the right word. I’m glad someone can understand where I’m coming from without getting offended.
Like I said, I can coexist, no problem. But it does get old after a while!
Reply to Tania (digsite)Well, over on Drivel we like to worship Satan or, on some days, Steven Colbert.
Hmm…a little goat’s blood would really hit the spot right now…
Reply to Mr. FabulousGood for you, get it out… Like Lt. Dan, up in the crows nest yelling (something like): “Bring it on, is that the best you can do?” As if to say, if you are a hateful, punishing entity, we are going to fight, you bastard.
I like that bumper sticker: “Jesus, save me from your followers”. The worse thing about the concept of a ‘higher power’ is when men (and women ;’) step in and interpret it for everyone else, it’s just damn near impossible for them to keep their own ‘personality’ out of it.
I believe there’s a kernel of truth there (re: higher power) but I lean a lot harder towards Einstein’s concept…
Bottom line for me is:

Religion=Not So Good ;’)
Sam, I think that’s probably the only bumper sticker with the work jesus in it I’d stick on my car.
