  Gather 'round ladies and gentleman! It's time to talk about religion!

  I'm what you would call a non-religious. And nothing
  pisses me off more than people getting angry at me
  just because I'm not in there whole religion deal.
  I mean, what the BIG F?

  I decided to type up this textfile because I know
  people around me who say stupid stuff pretty much in the
  ballpark of: "God hates me, but I'm not religious."

  What a bunch of hypocritical bullshit.

  If you're not religious, then how come you're all "hell"
  this and "Satan" that? You think that just because
  you're against some God that it doesn't make
  you religious? You're nothing but the dark side of the force!
  But I, as a so called Atheist or however you people put it,
  don't believe in the Force. I would explain, but really
  I can't. There is no explanation for my religious-free life.
  I just don't really think about it because there really
  is nothing to think or argue about. And being against Gods
  and not believing in them are two totally separate things, so
  don't give me any of that.

  Let us now take a look at the million dollar phrases
  I hear all the time:

  "You're going to hell, Kenny!"

  I guess if I was a Christian I would. But I'm not. So,
  I don't know really what to say to you but I know of
  the whole heaven and hell deal and you're pissed off
  at what I did and that's how you express it with that
  there religion.

  "When you die, then you'll know there is a God."
  
  No I won't, because I don't believe in souls, afterlife,
  etc. Aren't you paying attention? I believe that when you die,
  you're dead. Just like that rock outside. Your brain stops
  sending signals, you're bodily functions cease - YOU DIE.

  "There are different levels of religiousness so your views
  are incorrect."
  
  Oh right, like different levels of chocolate in my milk!
  You've still got chocolate milk no matter what. I just
  never put the chocolate into mine. All I have is the
  knowledge of the chocolate and friends who've already
  converted to chocolate milk. And man, do I know a lot
  about chocolate milk because of these people.

  I could go into the whole aspect of "man, there are like
  forty thousand religions" but I won't because I'm not a
  religious man. I'm just very, very lazy.

  Not saying that I don't think cool things came out of religion.
  I mean, I use the word "Hell" a lot just because it's slang.
  Like "What the Hell" and "Who the Hell are you?" and things of
  that nature. And the whole Hell concept, being evil and such with
  strange demons that tear the flesh is all very interesting (especially
  in games) but I wouldn't integrate it into my life
  as some people have. I just don't feel like it really.

  Anyway, pardon my shitty comparisons and terminology, but I'm
  a huge nerd so that's how it works out.
