Due to constant misunderstanding with my name I feel the need to change my intro. I am hateful, hateful of religion. I hate what religion does to people and that people use it as an excuse to not think. I have spent many years of my life as an Atheist and have learned to handle my emotions, but no other word quite describes how I feel towards religion short of hate. I am outspoken, open minded, and will share my opinion. If you're looking for someone who will always agree with you, that won't be me.

Question with 27 notes

Anonymous asked: I understand you might not have had the same experiences as many of the thousands of Christians out there... but I gotta ask.. how can you hate what you don't understand?

Don’t be confused for a moment in thinking that I don’t understand religion. I don’t reject religion because I am ignorant to it, exactly the opposite reason, I know too much about religion. Only the extremely self deluded could take the time to honestly objectively study the origins of their religion and their validity as well as the social/political impacts of these beliefs and still say they are true. I continue to try to learn every day and the more that I learn the more that it becomes entirely clear that man made god, not the other way around.
