An open letter
Jul. 25th, 2009 11:16 amDear whomever:
Let me make myself perfectly clear.
If you don't want an abortion, don't get one.
If you don't want a gay marriage, don't get one of those, either.
But for pity's sake, stop telling me that I have to live my life according to your religion. That Freedom of Religion thing that you're always on about? That includes Freedom of MY religion, too, and MY religion smiles kindly upon sacred unions between people who love each other, no matter the number or gender. MY religion does not judge somebody who chooses to have an abortion, but instead supports that person's right to choose for themselves the best path, and offers any help that may be needed.
You can't have it both ways, people - you can't yell about being oppressed while you are doing that exact thing to people whose religions happen to differ from yours. We don't all want to be Christians, we don't all need to be Christians, and we would all be very happy if you would just keep your judgmental, violent little religion to yourselves and stop trying to dictate how we all should live our lives.
In the immortal words of SJ Tucker - Go away, Godboy.
No love, just pity for your narrow-mindedness,
me
