21. Basically, people need to mind their own business.
Edited on Wed Apr-01-09 04:36 PM by AndyA
What I believe isn't "right" for everyone. And what you believe may not be a good fit for me, either. As long as neither of us are hurting anyone else with our beliefs, so be it. But when someone tells me that I don't have the same rights that they do, or passes judgement on me because they don't agree with my lifestyle or whatever, that's where it ends.

People CHOOSE to be religious. People make a conscious decision to support religious groups that promote hatred toward others.

People don't choose to be gay, or black, or whatever, but they do make a choice when it comes to religious beliefs, and just because that's a good for for one person, doesn't make it so for anyone else. And if people choose to not believe, that's their choice as well, and it's nobody else's business. People need to mind their own business.
