“Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate.”

   Why is it so hard for people to just accept you for who you are instead of constantly criticizing not only you, but basically everything that you believe in.

   I’ve spent my whole life trying my best to not judge anyone when it comes to their beliefs, and I’m not going to start now. It’d just be nice to get the same in return.

I honestly don’t care what you believe. Whether you’re for or against abortion, gay marriage, whether you’re a Christian, agnostic, or any other religion out there. I don’t think that those things determine 100% who we are as people.

   I think it’s more personal than anything else. But when it comes down to it, a Christian and an atheist can be best friends. Religion, personal beliefs, etc. doesn’t need to be brought into a friendship if you don’t want it to. Friends are people that you can have fun with, that you can confide in when you’re struggling; someone who will be there to laugh with you, cry with you.

   Why does our country divide themselves based solely on religion? We’re all human. We all believe in something differently. If we take a microscope and look at how different we all really are, then everyone would probably hate each other but that's not how it's supposed to be, yet that's the way it seems to be these days.

   I constantly see statuses on facebook about religion, bashing Christianity, bashing beliefs.

And it’s not just that but Christians do it, too. Or at least people claiming to be.

The website godhatesfags.com---I couldn’t believe what I was seeing when I saw that website. It’s sickening to think that these people claim to be Christians, when Christians should be non-judgmental, loving, forgiving. They represent none of that.

   Everyone is free to believe in whatever they want. I’m just sick of people taking that right and using it to belittle other people.

“Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate.”

It’s as simple as that. You can stand up for what you believe in without being judgmental against people who don’t believe the same things.
