Third world war

I don't know, maybe I’m some sort of different species... okay I am, but that's beside the point. I saw this short documentary about a journalist interviewing Christians of the Baptist Church in Texas. They were all hung up on how gay people were such “horrible sinners” and blah blah blah. Now, of course these people are insensitive idiots with their heads up their arses, but this journalist completely lost it just a few minutes in the film and started insulting and yelling at them all through the rest of the video. Is it just me or why couldn't he approach them in a friendly manner if he was so very interested in making a film about it? Is it impossible for people to be nice and polite, even show some respect and interest when discussing things they don't agree with?

I see this all the time, not just in documentaries, but whenever and wherever, even here in Hemse. Of course we should defend our opinions and feelings, but we can do that without getting aggressive. Or at least I can. Especially when it comes to religion people tend to become all freaky. Some people even become freaky when I mention that I have a Bible. It doesn't mean that I’m a Christian, and even if I was, why is that something to lash out on? Do we vote for freedom of speech or just freedom of our own speech?

They're missing what it's all about: respecting each others opinions. I know it's hard to keep doing that when the person you're discussing with doesn't respect yours. But if it spirals out of control (yeah, that has happened to me as well) I just apologise for being blunt and tell them out straight that I do respect their opinion. Cause why the hell wouldn't I? How the hell are we gonna find any sort of peace if we keep biting each others heads off?

Sometimes I really don't doubt that I’m not human. This is the sort of thing that really makes me feel disconnected to the human race. Good for me, but it makes me look at the humans with some serious doubt that they will ever see a bright future. I’m certain there will be a third world war, and it will most likely be a religious war. I just wish I won't be around to endure that, whenever it breaks out. I’d rather have the zombie apocalypse to be honest. Would be fun being a zombie. Cause come on, if that was to happen I wouldn't stand a chance. But now this blog entry is getting too long so this will have to do.
