@Hirudinea 100%
The bible and christian values do align with me as well. It just "makes good sense"
What pisses me off is everyone always attributing every little thing they can't immediately explain to some spaghetti monster in the sky proclaiming it was 'god'
Fuck off on that.
There's a lot of good shit in the virtues and values of what -I- know of with Christianity, or whatever else it may be from, there's so many fucking forks on it you can't even tell what the hell half of em are fucking from.
I also, despite being a pagan, live in a a predominantly Christian founded nation, therefore I am respectful of that nations ways.
I was born and raised here, I was raised on those values. So far as I understand respecting and following those values are also not synonymous with the religion attached in a mode of worship. I can accept that.
What I cannot accept besides the current obvious of everyone always going on and on and on and on about this or that spaghetti monster, is that when some fucktard comes to this country and demands that I bow to THEIR beliefs I must do it for the sake of inclusion and diversity.
Not a fucking chance. I may not believe in the Christian God, but I was raised on it's principles, and this Country was founded on those principles. Bottom line: YOU ARE A GUEST HERE. YOU RESPECT THIS COUNTRIES PRACTICES!
If I go to Mexico, I respect their customs and laws. If I go to Italy, I respect their customs and laws. If I go to India, I respect their customs and laws. If I go to Afghanistan, I respect their customs and laws.
I do not go to those countries and start preeching about how things are back home in Canada, I don't go there and DEMAND they convert to Christianity.
What I DO DEMAND, yeah, I don't expect, I don't ask, I don't wish, I DEMAND... IS THAT YOU DO THE SAME WHEN YOU COME TO MY HOME COUNTRY OF CANADA.
Simple as that.
If you cannot respect that, then get the fuck out of my country. It doesn't require my belief in a spaghetti monster to make it so, it requires the values of it, and you better fucking respect the host values or you're going to FAFO.
Too many people have forgotten that.
Edits: Clarification shit. Probably still editing it.
