I didnt read all that shit. You type too dam much. Isreal? Palestine? I dont give 2 flying fucks about them and what theyre doing. If you aint my religion, fuck your religion. BTW, do you wear a wig?

Choosing to make the entire open world a place of worship exposes other people to your religious practices without their choice or consent - and I don't think it's respectful of other people who simply choose to either
a: Not follow religion
b: Have religion, but not feel the need to have others observe them.

If someone wants to pray in public they should be able to. It is what living in a free society is all about. If seeing someone say a prayer in public is distressing to you, then you are in need of a phycologist. If one can't say a pray in public because some how it exposes someone to religion without their consent. Then all forms of public demonstrations should be banned. I never gave no one permission to expose me to their political ideas. One thing about living in a free country is, if you see someone praying. You can always turn your head or look away. What you're proposing is a form of dictatorship.

Yeah, religious people be as peaceful as the atheists who, started ww1, ww2 . Or the countless genocides they introduced on the world.,

I'm sick to death of listening to people flick through their ipod on a train and having to listen to their shite music, or the dick head who comes out of a pub singing his favourite football chant or that silly cow out the back of the bus who wants everyone to hear her stupid fucking conversation.ld'?

That shit is easy to handle. I tell people off all the time. If its on my mind, i say it.

Okay, I apologize to Wufong for comparing him to a Viz character. I'm still rather steamed up for what he did to Elvis Christ.

what religion are you if you dont mind. i noticed you wear a cross, but you're an occultist? im confused.

ok, so i read its a popular symbol. itm still curious though.

I am Pagan, though the God Jehovah and Jesus is one of many Gods I worship. Mostly though I like the cross since it long before Christianity begun using it was a symbol of the material's meeting with the Spiritual and the soul's yearning for Spiritual development.

Its kinda like wearing a swastika and not being a nazi. Though it is alot older than a 20th century symbol, by wearing one most people (in Western society) will assume you are a nazi.
