What on earth am I supposed to say? [View all]

I got in a somewhat long discussion with my sister and a few others on FB about marriage equality. Of course, the bible came into it and I pretty much decimated their biblical arguments.

Then I was accused of telling them how to live. I was forcing them to accept homosexuality, gay marriage and all that.

The fact of the matter is I don't care what religion people believe. If they want to worship a tree or a teapot in the sky, I don't care. I start caring when they use their religious beliefs to discriminate and to support discrimination.

I continue to hold back my true feelings about religion in general...that it's oppressive, promotes ignorance and that you're better off believing in Santa Claus.

What it comes down to is that I feel like I'm the one that always treads carefully as to not offend religous folks, but they have no qualms about talking about the immorality of atheists, dems and all that. It's aggravating.
