130. I still wish the atheists could win more often.

Sat Mar 8, 2014, 12:54 PM

Mar 2014

Then again, I live in the Bible Belt where you can't walk two paces without bumping into another church and Christianity, the only religion allowed in my home county, the most hateful kind of Christianity, is in your face day in and day out. I would love to move to a town that was less zealous and pompous. I do wish these zillions of churches around here would quit coming up with anti-gay comments for their signs and pick up some of the damn trash that is making the county look horrible, or, I don't know, bother to feed some poor people or build a shelter that allows homeless women in it? The current homeless shelter here does not allow women or children, only men. Christianity truly sucks.

I wish the atheists could start winning more of these legal fights. It is getting overly ridiculous at this point. Can't even order a goddamn guitar capo on Ebay without getting Christian crap in the package with it, disguised as guitar tips. I shit you not.

I'm so glad I'm going to Hell when I die. Eternity away from these assholes to make up for a lifetime stuck with them. I long for Hell, because it will be full of nothing but gay people. Everything else is fine and dandy now, just don't be gay. Hell is going to be the good place to go for eternity. Heaven? Not so much. I don't see how any place full of the assholes that live around me can be called even remotely close to something called Heaven.
