To abolish acceptance without thought, that is my dream.

I am not here to tell you what is right and what is wrong. I am here to ask you to think for yourself what you think is right and what is wrong. That's right. Not what your parents, teachers, community or anyone else have told you to think but what you yourself think.

So you have been told that your non-religious, non-practising and homosexual friends will all go to hell. But do you really think it's okay to punish people for being different when it is your God (if you believe in one) who made them different in the first place? Is this really what an Omnipotent and All-loving God would want you to do?

If you have thought about it and it makes sense to you, then carry on. If it doesn't, then don't stop thinking. Open your mind and listen to what both sides have to say before deciding for yourself which makes sense to you. It's scary, I know but I hope you will take on this journey. And I hope my blog will help provoke some thoughts and questions you never knew you had!

Ever tried asking the girl of dreams out and told after that she's not interested? If you have, then you should be familiar with the despair and frustration brought about by this 'rejection'. It makes you resent her doesn't it? 'After all that I've done for her, she doesn't like me? Stupid ***!!' Yes, it makes your blood boil and you never want to see her face ever again.

Desperation, frustration, resentment, anger, aggressiveness and anti-social behaviour: these are the common reactions that surround rejection. I'm sure everyone has, at one point in their life, disagreed with someone and went through similar emotional waves. Your body can't help but react to the stimulus which induces a release of neurohormones responsible for the behaviour that follows. This is how an argument can arise. This is why it's difficult for people of dissimilar ideas to get along.

Below is a video I found that offers an explanation for the reaction of Theists to what they feel is a rejection of their God by Atheists:


If you can spare a few minutes (7 to be exact) then I highly recommend you watch it and have a think .

'cos thinking for yourself is never a bad thing :)

    Although most behaviour seems almost 'normal' and 'automatic', I do believe that we have, however minimal, the consciousness to control and suppress it. Thus, I hope your family and friends will give some effort to tolerate, if not accept, your belief as I hope you will to theirs. Also, do take comfort in the fact that you are not alone :)
