before i get some heat let me rephrase that... i think that anyone should be able to believe anything. if you believe in god, mohammad, voodoo man, or whatever. if you want to **** little kids, or think that all black people should be put in a cannon and shot into the sun. if you believe that santa clause was an anti semetic, or if you believe that hotdogs are made of concentrated evil, whatever it is that you believe you have the right to beleive in it.

but what you dont have the right to do is force it on me.

and i dont have to believe it. i completley respect people right to believe whatever they want, but i cant help but make fun of it if it involves some silly shit like, oh i dont know, walking on water for example.

just kidding.

but seriously the only probelm that i really have is when people use thier beliefs to get money from people who fall for the bullshit. and i dont really even fault the bullshitters themselves. i think that they really do believe the crap that they are peddaling, but that doesnt make it right to help people part with thier money.

there are some inncoent forms of this such as feng shui, but there are far more evil forms such as faith healing and other scams.

and the BIG problem that i have is when people believe something that has no scientific explanation or worse it contradicts a know theory or law, and they expect people to accept it "just because".

again, i thik feng shui is harmless for the most part, it is just aggrivating seeing trendy yuppies in california getting scsammed by new age hippies who believe in everything they hear.

as much as i am not a fan of religion, i realllllllly hate people that think that christianity is bogus and they go on and on about how stupid it is to believe in it, and then they beleive in witch craft, or ****ing aliens ro whatever.

totally rediculous

I'd Feng Shui my place, but the canon dictates that I can't put my stereo in the most acoustically taut location in the living room. . .
. . . so I just used the book to prop up my sofa.

i totally believe in aliens... i just dont think that they landed in roswell or abduct rednecks and shove stuff up thier ass.

i think it is pretty naive to think that we are all alone in that big ass universe.

i totally believe that we went to the moon. the science behind it isnt all that complicated or hard to believe. all of the non believers and conspiracy theorists dont have a leg to stand on, all of thier so called proof is full of holes and it is all rediculous.
