I personally find this extremely offensive. I, myself, don’t really read the Bible but I do believe in God. My religious persuasion is different from most, I am a Unitarian Universalist. But you know what, I bet some of you re-blogged this because you’re thinking “Oh, I just did this for extreme Christians” but you know what? Someone who is not an extreme Christian, but who reads the Bible because it gives them comfort will take offense to this. This isn’t just an attack on extreme Christians. This is an attack on ALL Christians.
How would you feel if your religious book or symbol was maliciously attacked like this? You would be offended and don’t lie. You would be. Now if you’re athiest, you probably don’t care, but if you really feel strongly about disliking a religion, please keep it to yourself. Mm’kay? You say that the Bible causes genocide. NO. It’s ignorance and intolerance that causes genocide. It doesn’t matter what religion you are, genocide happens either way. ANd mostly for political reasons, which if you know anything about government, in MOST countries church and state are seperated.
It’s okay if you don’t subscribe to a certain religious persuasion. If you don’t believe in a God, that’s fine. But please, just respect thos people who find comfort in religion. Some people like the thought that someone is up there listening to their prayers. It helps some people keep going through this world. So if you don’t like something (this should really go for everything), please keep it to yourself. Didn’t your mom teach you “if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it at all”? Just leave it alone and go on about your day. Leave people alone and accept each other for what you do and don’t like about them.
This is bullying, plain and simple. Stop it.
