My Buddy

So I read a couple of things today that I felt the need to comment on, and, unfortunately for all you who might be unwise enough to venture here, it is about religion. YAY, religion! Am I religious? Yes. There, I said it. I believe in God, and I am not ashamed to admit it. Does that mean that I hate everyone who doesn't believe in God? NO! It also doesn't mean that I ask for any sort of special accommodation because I do, but I do wonder this. Why do people who don't believe feel the need to make sure that anyone who does never mentions it again? I don't believe in the bogeyman, so you can talk about him all you want. I don't care. So why do atheists feel the need to silence religious people? Why do atheistic state senators file lawsuits against God? I think it's because they are scared of faith, because if we're right, then they're screwed, and they don't want to have to think about it. I have friends, very close friends, who were atheists, and, yes, I tried to convince them to think about God. I would never try to convert a Muslim or a Jew, because I think we all have something in common, and that is a recognition that this is all to big to be something that "just happened."

Now, along those lines, I recently read that Kathy Griffin stated, "Suck it, Jesus" when she accepted and award recently. I find that appalling, but I'm not all a-twitter about it. I do want to mention this, however. You attack Judaism, you're an anti-Semite. You attack Islam, you're an intolerant bigot. You attack Christianity, you're a comedian. I find it utterly hilarious that at the bottom of the web page that the article was published on, there were ads for tickets to Kathy Griffin shows and then right below those ads were ads for religious sites. Now, wouldn't it be ironic if Kathy Griffin saying "Suck it, Jesus" sent someone to that article, who then proceeded to click on one of those links, learned about Jesus, and then became a Christian? I think that would be... divine.
