A rant to someone who wont read it.

(I really wasn't intending on making my return to this site a bitch/rant fest.
But I really just to to vent.
So, here we go...)

So tonight at work, after an unwanted (on my part) talk about religion. I was told that "it's a shame" I don't believe in anything

Really? A shame?
The definition of shame (thanks to dictionary.com) is as follows:

the painful feeling arising from the consciousness of something dishonorable, improper, ridiculous, etc., done by oneself or another.


So me having an opinion is dishonorable, improper, and ridiculous?
I didn't try to say you were wrong, or persuade you to think like me.
I just stated what I thought, and tried to drop the subject.

You thinking your opinion is better than mine is dishonorable to me, aren't you bible thumpers supposed to 'love thy neighbor as thyself?' and don't you believe everyone is one of 'god's children' or some other crap like that?
If all you people follow the bible the way you say you do, you wouldn't think you're better than everyone else. You wouldn't feel superior to those who don't believe.

If everyone thought the way you did, then we, as a society, would not of made it this far.
It was the thinkers that changed the world, not the people who blindly followed what someone else has written down.
So if anything,
It's a shame you cant accept that someone has a difference of opinion.
Don't be so goddamn close minded.
