Subject: Still bored.../religion

Yep...still bored. Just been reading the posts...thought I'd express my opinion on religion.

First of all, I'm a Christian. Protestant Lutheran. And I go to church of my own accord (no parental urging is necessary, I just go, sometimes on days when my mom and step-dad don't.)

Second, I'm not a "shove it in your face" kind of Christian. I identify with some things that atheists say. I don't like people who come around shoving religion in peoples' faces either. I especially dis-like it when those Jehova's (not sure how to spell it) witnesses come shoving papers and things in my face. I'm sure that's how atheists feel when Christians try to recruit them. I don't like people who go around shouting "Atheism is the only truth!! There is no God!" either. It's just like the Christians trying to recruit atheists. I just say live and let live. If one doesn't bother the other, then everything would be just fine. If no one disses Christianity, or atheism, then nothing hostile will be said, and arguments and possibly worse would be avoided.

So, in the end, I say that niether should bother the other, or say anything about the others' choices. It's their life to lose or gain, to do with as they please. Just let them make their own choices and believe what they want to (That's for all religions and non-religions, whichever be the case). Let bygones be bygones and leave each other to their own beliefs. So much pain, suffering, and war would be averted.

Well, that's all I have to say.
