Sunday Bloody Sunday

Conversation With God

This morning I am being forced to sit through a slightly offensive religious mass on the television. The message today is that Christians should not take council from non-Christians. I couldn't believe my ears...
I'm a non-Christian and I don't see why what I have to say is crippled and inconsequential just because I am not a believer of the Christian faith. I know that I harbour respectable morals in my character and I certainly am not out to convince others that Christianity is a lie just because I, personally, found no peace in it. I have more sense than trying to tell individuals how to regard other religions and their followers and I certainly do NOT think any less of someone's council simply due to their choice in faith!
I also took into offense that they insinuated that all non-Christians are going to demote your level of faith if not entirely diminish it. Quite unfair. Sorry, but I don't think that we secular folk will be handing out pro-atheist pamphlets anytime soon.
I know that not all Christians think this way mind you. I know that this is not the case AT ALL.
This is just one of the many services that are going on this morning. I do however feel very strongly about the error that I stumbled upon in this pastor's words.
I am not anti-religion. I think that religion is a wonderful thing that provide many lives with a safe hold and a place of peace. I simply have not found one yet in which I can find sanctuary and I don't feel that I am any less of a person because of this.

Boy I have been ranting a lot these days!! Hahah
Well at least I have something to write.


So...I may get to see Rhianna in concert tonight. Not really my music scene but it will still be fun!
I'll let you know how it goes!

Have a great Sunday!
