Rant number 326
I am not a very religious man. It's not my thing in a lot of ways. I feel that god must have better things to do than make sure that we are all sitting in church on Sundays and saying grace before every meal.
Despite this, I do respect anyones beliefs - as long as they don't mess with anyone else.
I don't agree with the 'cant be religious or worthy if you are gay,' school of religion, any religion that says that other races or creeds are evil and any religion that demeans women.
Some religions do very this obviously. Lets face it - certain religions that might or not be from the far east basically make women slaves.
The more liberal religions of our country however are no better.
For years and years, women weren't even allowed to be priests - because you know, they were...less holy or something. Now - the church do allow women to be priests (begrudgingly,) but today have shown their true colours. Women you see, are not allowed to be Bishops.
You'd think that this would be because a fair margin of people had voted against women being bishops. That's not what happened though. The church elders skewed things to preserve their status quo and their sexist agenda.
Two thirds of people voted yes to ladies being able to be bishops - but that wasn't enough of a margin. What kind of vote is that?
Its at times like this, I am glad I'm not involved in organised religion - because I am disgusted by its backwards thinking attitude. Women are OK to pray - but not to tell others how? What kind of crap logic is that?
Why not just ban ladies from religion altogether? Bloody pathetic old fashioned elitist miserable old bastards.
Rant over.
