Is it me or isn't it all religion that is the ultimate source of fear and hatred in the world?

OK, maybe not all of it, but certainly most of it.


Honestly? All this hubbub about the gay kids that killed themselves seems way overblown to me. I get that it’s tragic, but why think about it as just some bullies—just some people being dickish when homophobia comes from the idea that there’s something “wrong” with being gay?  It’s not science that tells us being gay is “wrong”—it’s religion.  ONLY religion.


Sure, there will always be bullies, but the less of a support group they have (or say, a Bible Study group) for being bullies, the harder their job will be.


Encourage atheism, because science doesn’t hate you because you’re different.
