Tolerance

People who are tolerant are not hateful like intolerant people. Intolerance is ignorance. I hate intolerant people. Christians are intolerant.

Christians are not as cool as Hindus, who are very tolerant of everyone because they don't confine God to some all-knowing Being who is all good. They know there are many sides to deities, who are often comprised of mercy and anger, hate and love, justice and domination, seriousness and silliness, and other seemingly incompatible values simultaneously.

Christians are also not as cool as Buddhists, who require a lifetime to focus on their selves and their own personal fulfillment. You may think that's selfish, but really they have it right. Why go on missions and try to persuade people to believe in some Absolute Truth? That's what Christians do, under the guise of helping people spend eternity with God. If there even is an eternity, don't you think we would know about it? The fact that someone thought of eternity before they used the scientific method proves that it can't exist scientifically. And Christians never learn that truth is subjective. It's different for everyone individually. There is no external source that you can make a judgement about everything by. Plus, Christians killed people in the Dark Ages.

Islam is kind of uncool, but it definitely has more novelty for forward thinking people in our country here, because it's more peaceful than stubborn, uneducated people say it is. Islam is not about killing a bunch of infidels. When the Koran says that the only time it is permissible for a child of Allah to lie is when they are doing it to befriend an infidel so that they can either convert or kill them, it doesn't mean what people who take it literally tell you it means. It's more of a poetic use of language. The Koran is beautiful. I haven't read any of it personally (because I'm reading a book by Dave Eggers right now, who is my favorite personality next to Oprah and Obama), but I hear they teach it in college and that's all I need to know. If they're teaching it in college, you know it's good.

Just about every religion besides Christianity is tolerable. I can't stand Protestant Christians because they are so reluctant to change. Any change is better than no change at all. We need to always be moving. Even if you don't know where you're going, you keep going until you come to a stop, or run into something. That's what my aunt told me when I was doing the bumper cars when I was little, and I think the same applies to social progress. I am a firm believer in revolutions and taking wealth from rich idiots who don't deserve it. I think Bolsheviks are cool and beautiful. And in my heart I feel that change is progress, even when you are going anywhere. Anywhere is better than nowhere. Standing still is revolting. I hate anything or anyone who talks about reflecting or meditating, except for Buddhists, who I really like. Something is bound to fall into place when you are moving along and progressing.

I can't stand Christians because they talk about love but they also talk about people having to change. Why are you always trying to help people change, Christian? Why can't you let things be as they are?

Christians say that God hates sin but loves the sinner. I say that the word "sin" is irrelevant and intolerable. I don't believe sin exists. Who are you to tell me what is sin? What is sin to me may not be sin to you. It's all subjective. Plus, Science tells us that people are born certain ways. If someone is born gay, they can't help what attracts them. Let's say I am born gay. Maybe I don't even want to be gay. Maybe I find the thought of putting my putter in the anus of another man repulsive. Well, if I'm born gay, I'm going to do it whether I choose to or not. I may hate it, but if that's what my brain says to do, I have no choice. I may even know that it's unclean and unsafe, but if I'm born that way, with that chemical difference in my brain, it's not my fault I do anal sex even if I don't want to. Plus, why wouldn't I do it if my brain says to do it? When has anybody's brain ever been wrong about anything? If it's in your brain, it's defensible. How do you think people take a plea of insanity? Or alcoholics? You think they hold them responsible for running someone over because they were drinking? No. Of course not. They have a chemical propensity for alcoholism, and therefore people just can't ask them to choose something different.

Christians say that you can change being gay if you want to. That's why nobody ever changes it, because they don't want to feel like they could have changed it, even if they want to. That's why I think anal sex, hot dogs, Buddhism, peace, free-trade coffee, peaceful and gentle Muslims, etc, etc, are all great. What I can't tolerate is Christians because everything is so categorical with them. There is no room for mucking about with the Missus, if you catch my meaning.

Tolerance is the only way to go, because then people can have the freedom to do whatever, and everybody is happy, except for people that believe in Right and Wrong, and those are on the decline, thank God.
