"This eternal accusation against Christianity I shall write upon all walls, wherever walls are to be found - I have letters that even the blind will be able to see... I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct of revenge, for which no means are venomous enough, or secret, subterranean and small enough, - I call it the one immortal blemish upon the human race..."
-Nietzsche
Although I don't have a problem with people who do believe in god, I have an extreme dislike for the way some people interpret their religion. I don't believe in god, and if someone threatens me with their gods punishment, I don't like them. Religion and personal beliefs shouldn't be about what happens to people who don't follow god's every word, religion should serve to help people make better decisions for themselves and towards other living things. Sadly, I see myself following the important rules of religions more closely than most religious people I see do. I see far too many people treating religion and their god's forgiveness as an excuse to be able to do wrong, yet I just don't do many things they consider sinful in the first place, and I don't hurt myself or other people.
