One of many reasons I stepped away from religion.

People who say “but there are good Christians too.” Well where they? Why aren’t they being loud as fuck against the people preaching this hatred in the name of their god? Why aren’t they storming churches, or at least protesting them. They’re all cowards. If anyone had any conviction in their religion they would at least speak against false prophets. Abrahamic religions are the stem of all evil. Especially when it comes to the abuse of children.

I know good Christians. I know people that visit the sick after a hard day’s work, who help clean up their communities and help the poor. I respect them enormously, I just don’t share their religion.

One of my Christian friends recently made a post on FB where she pointed out it was her religious duty to take care of herself and live a good life, NOT to shove her beliefs down others’ throats.
