Hoo boy.. My turn...:)
My opinion is very complex and, well, opinionated. Number one, i am an atheist. Without som enice, hard proof, i dont believe. Yes, i have an absolute 100% lack of faith.
Now, I have a great deal of respect for some people with faith. People who have a religious belief that does not interfere with the world around them and helps them out, makes them a better person, gives them hope, whatever. I'm cool with that.
People who wear it like a badge, i cant stand. 8its really nothign to be proud of, so get over it. Its like being proud that you believe wearing green makes you taller. it just is.
Grand-Standing religious moralizers are a blight on the face of the earth and should be eradicated by any means necesarry. This includes the Taliban, Jerry Falwell, and any other religious people that would use their beleifs as an excuse to wage war or hate.
Born Again religious people are pathetic and stupid. they are mostly people who were fuck ups in life that have discovered that tellign other people they are shit makes them feel better about all the bad stuff they feel guilty about. like oh, say, being a straight c student (because dad was only that rich) who used har ddrugs and got a DUI long before he became "reformed" and rose to a position of extreme power because of the people who had a vested interest in his success. Not that we know anyone like that.
Those are the kinds of people who take the "moral high ground" on issues that dont personally affect them AT ALL(like abortion), but "regret" to have to tell people that they did something wrong, like perhaps being close buddies with Kenneth Lay (however you spell that dickhead's name) and having to publically decry the horrific crime he perpetrated, even though deep down inside you applaud him for having the balls to run off with the profits. but then again, not that we know of anyone like that.
Now, to qualify somehting so that everyone thinks that Atheism is not a religion... It is. its not particularly organised, but it is a strongly held belief system that people will defend vehemently and angrily. And i have known people who basically "preached the gospel" of atheism. I hate these people with the same passion i have for all zealots.
So, VC... She could not be more pathetic or wrong. She was "Born Again"? So, she is basically a weak minded moron who just so happened to be in the right place at the right time for those manipulative jerkoffs to mold her weak mind into believeing that if she joins their "cult" that she will be a better person than everyone who hasnt. She is now free to look down on Buddhists, Muslums, hindus, and even people who dont follow her particular sect of christianity. let the Judgement Begin!!
Consider it a blessing. People who become born again just managed to get snagged by a major religion before finding a cult or Scientology. (which is a cult)
