religion is an option, not an obligation.

If you don’t believe something is right, simply don’t do it.
I don’t know who told you that you had the right to decide how other people should live their lives.
Since when did what someone else chooses to do with their lives affect in any way how you live yours?
The thing I’ve always hated about organized religion is that some people think that because they have a certain belief, they have the right to dictate how others choose to live their lives.
If someone is a strong believer in god and Christianity, but happens to be gay, who’s to say that that person is going to hell?
Really?
Because they would rather be with a man then a woman, they are no longer worthy as a human being?
I am a strong believer in equal rights for everyone.
No one has the right to tell someone they can’t, or that they aren’t good enough.
Not me, not you, not your mother or father, not your priest, not your friends, not your teacher, not the prime minister, not the queen, not even your god.
Nobody.
If you’ve made the decision to follow a certain faith, go right ahead. I have nothing against you. If you don’t believe in something, that if completely and totally up to you. It’s when you start to tell other people what is right and wrong. That is when I have a problem with it.
Just because that is right for you doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone.
