Christian Good Guys

Some people may think by reading my blog that I am an aethiest who completely hates all organized religion, particularly Christians. Well, now that's not true at all. Being raised quasi-catholic, I do hold to a highly spiritual belief system. I am quite a spiritual person, although I will only discuss my quirky system (which is technically without name, as it's more of an amalgamation of different theocracies) when asked by someone I feel isn't trying to persuade me, but simply open up conversation on the subject. See, I believe that one's relationship with their god is an intensely personal one, not needing to be shoved down the throats of those around them. I use God as a generic term, by the way. Perhaps I should say deity? Anyhoot...
As of late, it seems that the general 'Christian' populus, more specifically those fiends known as evangelicals, have done their darndest to throw our society back into the dark ages with their zeal to condemn lifestyles that do not meet their own definition of normal. Porn is bad, gays are evil, and no woman should ever have the right to decide to carry a child, that sort of thing. Lovely bunch they be. Heck, if they had their way, we'd all be wearing our little puritan outfits and hold mass every hour in classrooms across the country. Those who are not likeminded would quickly be stoned in the streets. So it's no wonder these folk raise my ire often, as they completely undermine the concept of free will and liberty for all. But, some christians still stick to the actual tenants of their Savior, the good Ol' all loving JC. Remember him, the hippy who liked everyone and condemned no one? Cool guy, try actually following in his footsteps sometime, seriously. Anyways...I recently came across an article that made me smile. It's sad that something so simple could bring so much hope, but these are the days we live in.

So, there, a few good christians have actually wisened up to the fact that *gasp* gays are PEOPLE TOO! Good for them. No, for the rest of you, here's your homework assignment: The next time some backwards thinking moron with a cross to bear comes up and spouts the phrase "Jesus hates Gays", please recite the following gem of wisdom:
You know what Jesus hates more than Gays? Actually, nothing, because Jesus Christ didn't believe in hate for anyone. He was, however, deeply dissappointed in those closeminded few who held hatred and judgement in their hearts, for they were the wicked few who did not understand the meaning of God's love". So there, suck it you uptight and ignorant assholes.
