(10,039 posts)Because they are popular phrases in the English language (when spelled properly) and I don't want to be directly affiliated with Christains. I can respect them as a person, but I'd be a hypocrite if I said I have an ounce of respect for the Christain religion. Which is the religion I come in contact with more.
I don't think religion should immediately protected from criticism with this, "That's very offensive." BS. When I can't seem to say the same things and have mass groups of people protecting my holy ass.
I would like to go throughout life without a bible shoved in my face, and this is why I am outspoken about it. You cannot avoid it. Our politicians are using the faith card, kids are shunned if they don't pray, and we have to fight for neutrality in courthouses, on money, and sometimes our own homes when it comes down to a family feud.
I'll say what I say. I really couldn't care if you're offended by how I hate religion. The only reason I like learning about it, is to find out how stupid humans have been over the years. It makes me laugh.
But that's me being extremely truthful on the matter. I wouldn't dare say I hate religion in public. I'd be mauled. But to be clear, I hate religion as much as I hate iceed tea, water in my ears, and Adam Sandler. To this Pantheist, it's just another subject to talk about. Not the end-all-be-all of the world. My life does not revolve around it and I'm glad it doesn't.
