Losing my religion

Religion.

Yes, potentially a controversial subject. I make no apologies. Moving on.

I have some friends who are religious, religion is important to them and they go to church. Fair enough. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. For the record, who am I to say that because something isn’t important to me, it isn’t to anyone else? I have no problem with these types of religious people.

Oh no, I take issue with people who try to shove religion down your throat. If everything is going to pot for someone else, don’t tell them to pray if they are not religious. It is just as disrespectful in my opinion as me telling you that it’s a pile of shit.

I take issue with people who walk the streets, giving out prayer cards and telling people they are sinners for going shopping.

Yes, I swear. Yes, I drink. No, I don’t pray. No, I don’t believe in god. Yes, I have had sex before marriage. I get angry, I get bad tempered and I can be selfish. I wear make up. I like clothes. All sins apparently. I’m going to hell.

Yet, I am (in my opinion) a nice person. I’m loyal. I’m honest and truthful. I may be a cynic, but I will always listen. I’ll do anything for my friends and I’ll buy a cup of tea for a homeless person. I do some volunteer work. All good things, yet I’m going to hell because I like the song ‘Number of the beast’ by Iron Maiden.

I’m going to hell because I don’t repent my sins. Of course I don’t; to repent would be wrong when I am just going to sin again. In fact, surely this makes most church goers sinners? Why apologise and repent something when you have no intention of giving up sex/drugs/rock’n'roll?

I could say a lot more, but it will end up a pile of meaningless drivel.
