Contrary to what people may think, I strongly believe in a persons right to their religion and would defend that right to the end. |
Ya, I forgot about child-like, though that doesn't quite have the vitriol against religion that is so popular here (and everywhere these days). And child-like is fair, many people have that kind of relationship with their religion, I just think those views are just a part of that which creates a huge spirtual/religious conglomerate that makes up something bigger and something relevant. And I don't know why so many people feel the need to lash out against it. It feels to me like any other irrational hatred (like towards gays, minorities, etc.) based on insecurity or a small penis or whatever. It's like everybody has a need to feel a superiority to something, and liberals who don't have that feeling of superiority (or at least won't express it) towards gays, minorities, women ect can still get off by feeling superior to anyone who practices some kind of religion. It's a more PC way to express the hate that humans need to express.
