Journal Entry #131
I wanna ask a question.
Sexual and gender nonconformity has been around centuries before religion ever showed up. I've provided evidence that shows that it was part of the norm in places such as Egypt, China and Japan, Native America, and Africa. For all intents and purposes then, we were here first long, long, long, before people began enforcing religion on everyone.
With that said, why were we ever forced to debate and have disagreements over how the way some people are just wired? Why did we have to waste such a good chunk of our collective lives on something so horribly pointless? Why was this one group of people that became marginalized by society force into conflict with other people who have absolutely no bearing on their lives at all?
I keep saying over and over again that these are people who are perfectly capable of thinking, learning, and acting on their own accord. The real sin here restricting that ability through our so-called democracy. Through our system of "democracy" we have forced a population into compromising their very being for the sake of "progress" and "equality." We have forced these people, who I am a part of, into participating in a ruthless cycle and the results have been more than devastating.
How did it ever come to this?
How and why?
And don't you dare say it's because it is "free speech"
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
That's all. Nothing more or less.
It says absolutely nothing about you being able to say whatever in the world you feel like except only to the government. If you were to say something reprehensible about me, I'd personally deck you because you are not protected when in public.
Because of what has been committed during this atrocious excuse for an argument, I refuse to be proud to be an American.
