131. As A Non Believer I Don't Proselytize... I Don't Judge... I Don't Hate...
... and therein lies the problem.

I'm happy to live-and-let-live, but too many believers will never be satisfied with such a simple concept. Pity.

Why can't they just keep their god/s to themselves? Why must they force their beliefs on others. Why must they impose their moral standards on others? Why must they try to craft public laws that reflect their religious beliefs? Why, why, why?

For all those who feel this way, I've often wanted to ask "When it comes to my personal happiness, my personal relationship, my sexuality, my atheism, and everything else about my life that's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS---how is it that my life can interfere with YOUR personal happiness? Why does YOUR personal happiness rely so much on whether or not I'm living my life they way you would live yours? Why do you care?"

-- Allen
