Lately, I've seen those pictures those "like if you agree" things on Facebook that is about religion. Now, I don't have a problem with people who believe in god. Most of my friends are SUPER religious. What I do have a problem with is the fact that I feel like people are rubbing it all in my face about it.
Its already bad enough that when I work, people try to preach to me. When I'm walking around on the streets, people try to preach to me. When I am at home, people come to my house and preach to me. But when I'm online, I refuse to be preached UNLESS its what I'm looking for.
With that said. I don't care if its a picture of whatever, saying "God loves you" or "God is with your Always..." But when its more like a "Like if you believe in God...if you don't your going to hell..." type thing. That really bugs me.
First of all, I shouldn't be giving an ultimatum on my beliefs or the lack of. I already get enough of that from my parents and my in-laws. But I don't need my friends on Facebook telling me to go to hell because I don't believe in their type of god. And yes people, I did say TYPE of God. Because all the people around the world believe in different TYPES of Gods.
Lets turn the tables around. What if I started posting stuff like "I'm an Atheist! That means I'm better than you!!!" Or "Life is better without God in it....That way I can do shit without feeling GUILTY about it!!" And THEN I start posting pictures so that its all over your Facebook thread and telling people that if they DON'T believe in god....Nothing will happen to you. Lol!
I bet you wouldn't like it. I bet you would be offended about it. That's how I feel. No matter what I do, where I go, who I meet....someone is always going to suggest a conversation that has to do with religion. Yes I understand that. However, I am non religious, and unless you assert the fact that you are then I am going to as well. That's something I do not bring up in a "Nice to meet you...." conversation. If it is for you, maybe you should rethink your manners.
And for all those people who read this and are on my Facebook, I am not singling anyone out. Its because it was done in the masses and in different ways is what bugs me. Now, if my lack of religion offends you, feel free to delete me or never read this or my blog again. However...just think. I haven't deleted you yet apparently and just like you, just I'm voicing my opinion.
