Now, I don't live anywhere near Indiana. I have never seen a license plate from there before. I was appalled. This has never occurred to me in the past before, but I thought to myself "What the fuck is wrong with this country that everything has to be 'In God We Trust' and never 'In Ourselves We Trust'?"
I am not an atheist. I happen to be Christian. I went to a private, religious school until 8th grade, not for religion, but because the education was better. However, from that great foundation of education I learned to think and act for myself.
So now, it seems so difficult to think that so many people in this country can so easily place all their faith in an invisible being for whom they have no proof of existence. God is just as likely not to be around as he is to be a flying spaghetti monster or that benevolent being that so many people blindly place their trust in. Religion is ruining this country. Any time that people take everything at face value, as they do religion; when they place all of their trust in one entity, bad things are bound to happen.
The religious right, the extremists, of this country on a crusade to save the world from homosexuals and Harry Potter, are poisoning this great nation. They are infiltrating our government - no - they are being elected! We are letting these crazies make decisions for us. They are on a crusade to restore the Jewish homeland so the end of the world can happen and they can witness the second coming of Jesus Christ. They are willing to destroy this planet for their own selfish means.
HOW DOES THIS MAKE SENSE??!?!! Aren't Christians supposed to care about others, to respect things that God has created -- like, you know, the EARTH, and humans?
This doesn't even begin to explain the frustration that I have every single day resulting from close-minded people like them. Harry Potter is not ruining this country. They are. This country in general has become so concerned with spreading democracy and freedom that we have destroyed it here. Surely we have lost our way.
And, for all of these reasons, that picture above made me so fucking angry. I just wish people would place a little faith in themselves and take control of this country.
