happy

your religion is fine

I don't have a problem with it

believe or don't believe whatever you want

just don't kill people and say it's okay

because God told you to do it.

don't pretend that your belief is

the only belief,

or that your faith is stronger than someone

else's

faith.

If you're an Atheist, that's great, just leave me out of it.

I don't care how much crap you've dug up on the bible to

disprove it.

If you're a Christian, that's cool too, I don't happen to

subscribe to your point of view.

there's no argument,

no ill will,

it's just as simple as that.

don't step on my shoes,

and I won't step on yours.

there's no need to pass legislation, 

making one religion more

powerful than another,

or one point of view more valid than another point of view.

there's no need to pitch a fit and ask for Christmas trees

to be removed from public areas

because it conflicts

with your disdain for anything

other than your own patterns of belief.

I don't even mind if you

knock on my door and ask me

if I would like to talk about Jesus,

but be prepared for me to reply

with a stiff, "no."

and please don't tell me I'm going to

Hell because

I don't want to listen to your take on God.

you don't know that and neither do I.

so it's really simple;

let people live their lives and 

be happy 

in whatever it is that 

they choose to do as long as it doesn't

hurt anyone in the process of doing 

whatever it is that 

makes them 

happy.
