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 2 notes

Anonymous asked: ANy comment on the Rose McGowan/Children of God thing?

Honestly I don’t know a lot about it. I mostly know Rose McGowan because of her association with Marilyn Manson but just did a little bit of looking into it. It seems for her that it wasn’t that big of a deal. That it was just a cult of hippies that wanted to run around naked. Their religious views seem a bit unclear but they seem to have a strong emphasis on sex and one article stated they encourage members 14 and older to engage in a sexual relationship with Jesus. I’m not even quite sure how that is possible. Due to her parents divorce when she was young it seems like Rose didn’t get too indoctrinated with the cult ideas and looks back at it as more or less silly.

It’s good to see that someone even in a more extreme situation was able to come out of it and be successful in life. She seems happy and after just a brief reading of her bio she has amazing strength to be able to go through all she has. It’s good to know that religious cults don’t always ruin children but it sounds like a particularly odd group of people.
