"YES THEY DESERVE TO DIE, & I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!"

"Everything's changing around me.... and I want a change too. Cuz one thing I know, it ain't cool bein no fool. I feel different today. I don't know what else to say... but Imma get my shit together. It's not or never"

-The Roots

This quote has characterized the last half a year of my life.

That's enough about that.

I've often gotten criticism from a generalized group of people I call the "Religious," (note: many people I love fall into this category, and I don't mean it to be derogatory, even though I think that it's a selfish and ignorant path to be religious, for the most part) and I've heard this particular critique: "You atheists don't have anything but to knock down religion, you don't do anything worthwhile except hate."

Allow me to define my position for myself: My critique of religion stems from the obvious personal effect that doctrine has on my life. After all, a religious person does NOT simply admire the millions of wondrous mysterious questions that spring from the world and all its trillions of physical, social and biological combinations, but instead offers an extensive and detailed belief in a singular system of explanation that gives a framework of how those wonders came to be. In the major three, this includes a system of value judgment, on which a "nonbeliever" falls in one of two categories, eternally contrasted as "heaven" and "hell."

So now, even though your imagination has cast me into eternal damnation, my interpretation of reality is rude in challenging this belief? Please, help me sort this one out.

YOU think I'm eternally damned, I think you're temporarily ignorant. Which is worst? Which is more "hateful?"

K, that's all I have battery to write about for now.
