God Hates <insert prejudice here>

Permanent Linkby Graveyard76 on Mon Jun 17, 2013 12:28 am

I'm not religious. I believe there's a God (and very possibly a Goddess!), but I'm very iffy about the reliability of scriptures that purport to convey his will. My experience of regular church, was that most people shape God into their own personal authority figure, complete with all their individual prejudices and quirks. Name any demographic of people, and you won't have to look far to find religious people who justify hating that demographic of people on the grounds that God hates them too.

Apparently he hates rich people, poor people, gay people, entire races of people, unbelievers, believers who believe in the 'wrong' interpretation... the list goes on and on.

I don't believe he hates anyone. I doubt very much if he's even interested in the pathetic details of our lives that human beings hate one another for. I think it's safe to say that the omnipotent creator of everything is probably going to be a bit more broadminded and understanding than that!

There are countries in this world that execute people in the name of God for being homosexual. Lord knows what they would do to me, as somebody with necrophilia. They'd probably have me drawn, quartered and burned alive, all the while believing that their personal interpretation of God is pleased with them for doing it.

Ironically, it's my paraphilia that has taken me back to a form of church – spiritualist church, where people go to receive messages from the dead via mediums. I'm not frightened of God, or any spirit that sees who I am and what I'm all about. What frightens me is the living. Their ignorance, their prejudices, and their potential actions.
