Nothing beats coming home from a day of lessons and sitting down at your laptop with a cup of coffee checking out the religious news on the guardian website. Yes, this is what I am doing right now.
And although I enjoy reading about world religion and such some of the things people do in the name of 'religion' piss me off. There's a Baptist group in American going around and crashing the funerals of dead service men because they were gay. That's completely wrong on so many levels. These are the people fighting for your country in a war, albeit a pointless one. But they put their lives on the line for a country they claim to love so much. They have slogans like 'Pray for more dead soldiers' and 'USA = Fag Nation'. It just really pisses me off. These guys deserve repect, and I'm not just saying that because I'm against homophobia. These people are dead, didn't your mamma and daddy teach you to not insult the dead? And, yes I have only just started going to church and such but I went to C of E primary school and I've read the Bible before, not the whole thing, yet. I don't recall it ever saying that Jesus wants you to go out and preach hate and disrupt people's funerals. I'm pretty sure his message was love. But feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Love your neighbour as yourself, is what Jesus said, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want their son's or their grandson's funeral trashed and disrespected that way.
People have a right to believe what they want, but don't do it in a hateful way.
