Uncouth PerspectivesNot on the rug, man.

bigot n. One fanatically devoted to one’s own group, religion, race, or politics and intolerant of those who differ.

I am tired of it. I am tired of feigned superiority. I am tired of grasping onto beliefs that are not true. I am tired of hate. People hating each other for stupid reasons.

Like what, you ask? Like God, for example. Yes, God is a stupid idea to die over. Here is what I mean. We should be worrying more about living, than what is beyond what we can grasp. So what if someone else believes that if they achieve spiritual enlightenment, they will attain Nirvana, and you believe that if you pray to Jesus Christ for forgiveness, you will get to go to Heaven. You should be more worried about how to get food into your belly and how to walk. Do not get me wrong, I am not saying “Don’t believe” or “Don’t worry about beliefs.” I, of all people, support knowing and having beliefs. What I mean is, why do we HATE over them. Do you think what is going on in Isreal is REALLY a religious “My god is better than your god” thing. To a small extent, it is. For those who have an understanding, however, Islam has claimed to be the next step in progression. Judiasm, Christianity, then Islam. The struggle there is more about “this is my home, go find your own.” And the whole God thing comes in handy as a nice excuse.

I have a small secret I would like to share. We are all people. We all need to eat. We all need to breathe. We all need to defecate. Literally, shit happens. Our beliefs are important, but the world is full of different ones. It should not be about how better your God is, or how better your apartment is, or “I get to go to heaven, and you get to burn in hell, neener neener!”

It’s funny. Someone hates another person for their race, we call them racist. Someone beats another person over the head with his/her religious belief, and we call them Christian.
