OMG! i just had a full on Internet rant... i think it might be my first ever.... it was brought on by a comment made on Documantaryheaven.com by a woman who has " a tendency to distrust people with no faith.it doesent matter to me which faith they follow and what they believe in,as long as they believe in something thats better than themselves.not believing in anything,to me anyway,means that those people may have no conception of right or wrong in a way.there is nothing to limit their ego’s so to speak.and that usualy leads to bad things.either for themselves or for others around them.and believing in “science” does not qualify as a belief in my view cause science is manmade and has alot of flaws,just like the people behind it." so i couldn't help but retort!!
My reply is as follows:
">1stly. I’m going to quote another post because i agree whole heartedly in what is said here:
“I’ve never understood religious people who look down on or mistrust people of no faith. You’re a good person because you think someone is keeping score and is going to reward you for your good behavior in an afterlife. I’m a good person because my parents raised me to care for others. I don’t do good because I think I’m earning heaven points, I do it because it hurts my heart to see another human suffer, and since I think Earth is our only life, the best thing you could do with yours is help others to improve theirs. I am a good, honest, decent person who does what is right expecting NOTHING in return and I’M the one who isn’t trust worthy?”
>2ndly. As it happens I’m not religious at all but i’ve been called spiritual. I don’t believe in a god at all and personally its because i grew out of imaginary friends around the time i was 10. I’m also a big fan of Science. Although i don’t worship science as a religion, i do believe it will tell us more about our ancient heritage than some book that was supposedly written hundreds of years after the events of which its written about.
>And 3rdly. I am going to quote YOU and explain why i think your comment was wrong.. (Which might seem obvious. But the fact you believe in imaginary people at your age tells me that explanations ARE in fact necessary)
“not believing in anything,to me anyway,means that those people may have no conception of right or wrong in a way.there is nothing to limit their ego’s so to speak.and that usualy leads to bad things.either for themselves or for others around them.”
Most wars and terrorist acts are done in the name of religion, Honestly i think it just might be safer to believe in nothing. I’ll admit my ego has no limit, But i assure you my friends and many strangers have found me to be very trust worthy. I would also like to point out that ALL humans make mistakes in their life, not just those of us who chose not to believe in a god of some sort. Now dont take this post as an attack on people who believe, as i dont judge. But i cant help replying to a post that says I’m an untrustworthy individual purely because i’m not a believer. I’ll make you a deal. If all religious people stop killing in the name of religion then i’ll stop calling you all religious fanatics “delusional”. Hows that, fair?
Also i think your grammar is shocking!"
I admit, i lost it. Seeing uneducated assumptions like that piss me off. It was fun tho getting my view articulately down. Have you ever had a rant and if so what was it about and what made you angry?
