That freaking bible thumper.

Today while walking to the library I noticed a man on campus ranting and raving about how those who masturbate and watch porn will go to hell.  On a sign held by one of his cohorts it was basically spelled out that their god loved me and that bad people go to their hell. 

The man would yell at people as they walked by attempting to convert them into his own beliefs.  What rang out to me was the whole "Jesus can save you." Line that he was perpetuating.  Do people with different views than yours scare you?  Enjoying a Playboy doesn't make me an "evil" person and my lack of belief in your diety doesn't make me any more so. 

America is a country full of a whole lot of gods that are vastly different than that whose banner you have chosen to fly on my campus.  Look at yourself for a moment, waving your bible around at people.  I kid you not, the man was physically waving it at people who walked by.  Are you any better than those you're attempting to rally against? 

Horrible as it sounds, I would LOVE to see someone deck this guy, however that goes against what I believe in.  So the day I see a group out there with a banner of peace across from him, I'll sit with them all day until he leaves.  I don't care how many people think he's funny, I don't care how many people think he's clever.  I think he's what's wrong with this country today.

I am me.  You are you.  We are different.  Get over it.
