...you'll be better prepared for what is in store for you if you play my game. I also want responses/ debates/ whatever you feel like saying. I want you to know me and the know that in "The God Gene" my beliefs will in someway effect the story. (Also, some of the points in my game's story may seem contradictory to what I believe--it does serve a purpose though--and not all of my characters believe the way I do (duh!)) Afterall, you always write what you know...
I believe that Jehovah is the one true God and that Jesus (or rather Yehsua) died for our sins. Most people are suprised at my theological beliefs, especiall after hearing me rant about Neo-Conservatives, Rush Limbaugh, Pro-Life people, ect.
I am, however, Anti-Religion "And therefore, Religion is the opiate for the masses"--Karl Marx. Any two-bit, right wing, Christian extremist idiot can quote this phrase, but do they really understand what Karl Marx is getting at? Hell no! Religion can be used to pacify the weak and pain-ridden. That is its purpose. That does not mean, however, that the basis behind a certain belief system is not viable. It is just that all belief systems/ ways of life/ ect all eventually degrade into fads. The Hippie movement started with a few people who were just so disillusioned with the ideals of the modern world--denouncing the holiness of "progress" and "industry"--that they sought to distance themselves from it. It quickly became a group of shaggy wierdos and potheads who weren't good for anything but letting the local fire departments get some target practice in with the fire hoses during the Vietnam War. Religion is much the same way.
I don't respect your opinions/beliefs/religion/ect. I only tolerate it. And I certainly don't value it! I don't make it my buisness to tell others what they should believe. And I think that the prase "...but I respect that you believe that way" is just a nice way to say that you don't care. Which is exactly the way I feel: I just don't care. I treat your beliefs with complete and toatal indifference.
Many of America's ideals are anti-Christian and Americans should stop fooling themselves Capitalism? Jesus once said that a rich man would have a harder time getting into Heaven than a poor man. "Oh no he didn't!" Oh yes he did! indeed, the act of turning America into a "wholly Christian state" is entirely un-Christian as it is against Jesus's more Eastern style of "live and let live"--in fact, that is the essence of my argument: Jesus was very eastern in the way he thought and preached, the conduct of the average American is about as western as it gets.
I am pro choice. But only because I cannot tell a woman that she isn't allowed control over what goes on with her body. I think abortion is wrong, immoral, the whole nine yards. But I just can't be that judge of other people. [edit: and I hate pro-life activists simply because of the propaganda that surronds the phrase "pro-life". It just insinuates that anyone that isn't "Pro-Life" is "Pro-Abortion", which couldn't be further from the truth.]
I might have more later, but please tell me what you think.
