I was on youtube, sick of everyone from all religions saying how terrible I am for not being religious (their religion). So I made a little rant...am I a jek? Should I calm down?
Religious people are funny. They all get together to diss on agnostics and atheists because they are godless and immoral. They all find common ground there - as if morals can't be taught by good parents, good books (To Kill a Mockingbird, Huckleberry Finn), and their own intelligent thinking about fairness and the world. Yet, you look at agnostic, educated, developed areas, and they are doing great. Then you look at religious people, and they are killing each other. Jews, Muslims, Christians, sects within religions - Shia, Sunni, Kurds, even tribes within sects. Then there's protestants who think Catholics aren't good Christians, and Catholics and Protestants both claim Mormons and Jews are going to hell, despite Jews being "chosen people", chosen by God to go to hell, that sounds fair. Sure godless people fight wars too, but they are most definitely ignorant about something. WAR REQUIRES SOME FORM OF IGNORANCE.
So before you religious people attack us agnostics for being immoral, shut up and finish your attacks on each other first. Leave the rest of us alone, you know were not going to bother you because we don't have an agenda, we just want to enjoy life before it ends. So finish using your 500 pound bombs, suicide bombs, and threats of atomic bombs on each other BEFORE pointing any fingers of immorality at us. Thanks.
I'm from Seattle, an area where mostly agnostic liberal scientists gather to share ideas, develop technology, and solve problems. Sorry I'm just sick of people claiming us non-religiously affiliated humans are "f-tards" for not being religious (when really they just mean, a religion other than their own).
