God doesn't need your help


Extremist Christians in Florida want to burn Qur'ans - because God told them to do it. Extremist Muslims are outraged and promising death to America - because God shall not be insulted. The Pope is insulted that "secular courts" are meddling in Godly affairs by prosecuting rapist priests. Idiot Baptists quote God as "Hating Fags".

Can we all stop fighting over what we think our all-powerful invisible friend and the corresponding magic infallible book wants us to do? I don't care how many Qur'ans, Bibles, Torahs, Scientology, Harry Potter books, Mormon Bibles or Grimm's Fairy Tales books we burn - they're just books. They aren't people.

We shouldn't have to fear what true believers will do just because someone doesn't respect or believe in their faith. The faithful have chosen to believe, not based on fact or observable phenomenon. They've chosen - made a leap of faith - because that's how they want to live their lives. That's where it needs to end, with their lives. Stay out of mine.

If an all powerful God exists, and chooses to intercede in human affairs, then God does not need your help defending His / Her honor. And I don't care if God "talked" to you. He / She talked to me too. Said you were crazy and wrong.
