That is one thing that I do not like about my religion. There are a lot of fanatical, narrow-minded, distraught people out there. A lot of times they are troubled as well. My mother was a horrible abusive person, and married an abusive husband (to the children not her) she would sit around and watch him attack my siblings, and pretend it never happened. She would go to church and use that to say that she was a better person than my father and I. The world is full of f*cked up people, and sometimes there should be a law that provides for their removal off certain premesis. Lurkette, I understand exactly what you are saying and it irks me that people can be so ignorant about things, especially given the situation and it's nature. They are just parading around trying to make themselves look good, while at the same time belittling others. I find it to be equivilant to racism or any other discrimination. I have my own beliefs, and with those beliefs I have my own guidelines of how I see fit to follow them. I would have chosen to come to them if I felt otherwise.

This is all the stuff the Mommy used to tell him. She used to say, "The only frontier you have left is the world of intangibles. Everything else is sewn up too tight." Caged inside too many laws. By intangibles, she meant the Internet, movies, music, stories, art, rumors, computer programs, anything that isn't real. Virtual realities. Make-believe stuff. The culture. The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because it's only the intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die."
