{Thursday, March 6, 2008}   Angry vegan spewing at the mouth again

This blog comes with a heavy caution and disclaimer. If you’re sensitive to foul words and religious content please don’t read. I don’t want any whiny comments in regards to the opinions that follow.

First of all, fuck religion. That right I said it. And I’ll say it again, fuck religion. Why do we need books and ominous figures to tell us how we should live? Seriously, look at all the negativity that has come along with religion. How many wars have begun, and destroyed because of different religious beliefs? How many people cop out and give the bullshit line ‘I’ve found god/religion again’ to excuse their unforgivable behavior. I don’t need a book, preacher, rabbi, or make believe figure to tell me what is right and wrong. That is something we all already have within us. It’s because of religion that so much bad occurs in the world today. Religion divides us, and turns us against one another. Without religion it would be a lot harder for people to excuse the horrendous acts we commit on all living creature, human and non human alike. 

How long can people use religion to hide the fact that the way in which they act is discriminative (against homosexuals), and murderous (animals are here for use to eat)? If it weren’t for religion this shit would not fly! We cannot go around harming others, regardless of what some bullshit book has printed in it (the bible).

I think religion is a weakness.

And for fuck sake, I’ve been letting people off the hook too easy by putting them under the blanket statement ‘ignorance is bliss.’ It’s true it is bliss, as long as you are unaware. But anyone that knows me, or has ever spoke with me about being vegan can no longer be let off the hook with this statement. By knowing me you are no longer in the dark about the pain and suffering you cause. Just by knowing what it is to be vegan and why people are vegan condemns you to intolerable acts of cruelty and torture and I no longer will stand by and protect you by covering up your actions with the phrase that ignorance is bliss.

Need something to believe in? Start with yourself. Your own ability to know suffering and stop it when you can. Your own ability to help other in need when you are able. How about simply respecting other living things, and living by the law of live and let live.
