boot to the skull

[thejunipertree]

Overheard just now: "God is so good, don't you just love Him? The high you get off Him. Ain't nothing like it."

I'm going to break my boot off in someone's ass today. I just know it. 9:43 in the morning and she's starting with her shit already. I can't deal with this. Not today.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-religion. Anyone who knows me well, knows that I have a great deal of respect for religion and that I am a fairly religious person. I just have different opinions about what's right for /me./ Hence, all of my stories of Baron and the other lwa. Religion is one of my favourite things to discuss and debate and to pour over.

However, the WORKPLACE is not the place to fucking prostelitize (spelling?). I have no desire to hear some skewed version of the Bible while I'm trying to get my day's work done. This isn't a place to witness. This isn't the time to fucking evangelise.

Great.
She's fucking singing again.

*stomp stomp stomp*

I don't want to start trouble in this department. I don't want to be the person who complains about feeling uncomfortable or offended. I'm not the type of person who finds offense in the smallest mention of a mainstream religion like Christianity. But, I can't deal with this for much longer. I can't.

>:O

What really pisses me off (with my C of E education, heh) is the kind of person who takes an essentially dignified, challenging, sublimely mysterious religion and sticks it in their mental crack pipe so they can get a BUZZ off it.

There may be 'good news' in Christianity, just as there is alcohol in fine wine; but to act as if the Good News, the Feeling Good, the Yay Hurrah Happy Happy Joy Joy Salvation aspect was the be-all and end-all of it is essentially to distil out the alcohol - again, for a BUZZ - and leave the body of the wine behind.

If religion is the opium of the masses, then ecstatic fundamentalist religion is the smack.
