Touching On A Touchy Subject

First of all: WE MUST SACRIFICE BIEBER TO APPEASE THE VOLCANO GODS! -ahem- Read the tagline on the top if you don't like it people. I make my insanity well known.

Today's topic: Religion

Now, I don't normally talk about this kind of thing but I feel like making my opinion known.
There are a lot of people out there that call me all sorts of names. Heathen, freak and, when I made a brief foray into the world of Wicca, witch. None of this phases me in the slightest, especially since the people that are shouting these names after me are usually people that I wouldn't give the time of day. However, I'm well aware of people being attacked because their religion doesn't fit in with the so-called 'norm' of the area in which they live. Bullshit. Just because say, I happen to focus my belief on a number of Goddesses associated with various elements and more and your belief focuses on one God does Not give you the right to scorn me in the halls.

Today, I'm going to pay attention to Christianity and the church as it's the only religion that I have enough knowledge on to feel right forming a decisive opinion about.

Now, I'd like to make it clear that I have no qualms about people believing what they want to. I'd like you to show me the same courtesy as this is an opinion not a statement of fact.

Earlier I mentioned dipping a toe into the sea of Wicca. A lot of you may condem me for that. I suggest those of you leave now to avoid further offence.

I'm going to assume the rest of you reading are of the more opened minded breed or nosy gits who ignored my warning.

I believe in God, let's get that clear from the start. I definately believe in A God anyways. The gender and/or forms of that God is still up in the air. What I don't believe in is the church and the human element. I feel that the church has warped the teachings of the bible beyond recognition. They change it to suit them and, should someone point this out, the main excuse is 'Oh, it was translated from Hebrew and no one's really sure about what it's actually supposed to say, we're just getting closer to the original meaning' or something along those lines. Mmmhmm, and I shit rainbows.
