Religious Terms

Let's get something perfectly clear. I hate religion. I, like the late Christopher Hitchens, think that religion poisons everything. If you have not read or listened to his book "God is not Great" then I strongly suggest doing so. It makes a lot of things about the many fallacies and short comings of god & religion perfectly clear.

That being said, I want to clearly state the following: People who are blatantly ignoring key principles of a religion they pretend to be practicing are not religious and should stop trying to pretend to be. Further more they cannot have it both ways.

 Examples:
1. Any religion that prohibits gay people of any kind. I'm sorry, but gay people are really goddamn stupid if they think they can just conveniently forget what it says in a religious text about what they are doing sexually. Therefore you are not practicing the religion correctly which ultimately means you are not religious. End of story. Good day, you lose sir! 


2. There are different religious sects of each religion usually. I know Judaism very well, so I will use that religion as an example. There are different sects of Judaism, but only a few are actually practiced correctly. You cannot break some of the rules for convenience and still consider yourself to be religious. To generalize it there are orthodox Jews and reformist Jews. Reformist Jews cut corners, such as not obeying the Sabbath by using a loud speaker at the synagogue on a Saturday, driving and/or essentially doing everything you aren't supposed to be doing on the Sabbath. 


Religion is an all or nothing game. You can't have it both ways. So to those people who think that keeping one foot in the door is going to keep them on good terms with the magical bogey man in the sky: stop lying to yourselves. Who do you think you are fooling, seriously? If you can get your religions to change the rules then great, until then quit your bitching and stop half assing your worship. Either you are all in or all out.
