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.
