Quote of the Day

For religious friends, I have a basic rule. You don’t mention your religion around me, I leave it alone. You bring God(s) into our friendship, and I will not hesitate to shred a hole in your beliefs. If you try to feed my some hippy bull-shit about “respecting everyone’s beliefs,” you have five minutes to get as far away from me as humanly possible. I will make no promises regarding your safety after those five minutes have passed. I’ll stay friends with the religious, but not with the patronizing religious. Hell, if it’s simply an informative conversation, I’ll often sit and quietly listen for entertainment value.

Why would anyone feel the need to share their religion without specifically being asked first? I mean spirituality is personal is it not?

To me it's like sharing my intimate sex details. I don't go sharing unless I am asked, and even then I am really picky in regards to whom I share them with.

Great blog you have here.
