I second that. I also read it that way. What you meant is irrelevant. What people perceive IS relevant, and right now most people interpreted that as:Spot said:gonz - i read the initial statment to say that since my g/f follows a religion, she is fucked.
i know you have no way of knowing that she is religious and that the statement wasn't a personal attack, i just found the statement to be very flippant.
I can agree with that.unclehobart said:Religion is fine. Those who choose to use religion as a weapon or justification of force to coerce or deprive others of life, liberty, or property are fucked.

The way this reads to me is that Gods and the intents and words of dieties are infallable as written. It is the inherint weakness of the human spirit that leads to misinterpretations of the lessons being conveyed... leading to fucked up actions by some who would use it as a weapon rather than a blueprint for a just life.

Ive been reading Gonzos writings for 18 months. I know how to pick his intents out and compare it against all that hes said in the past. I know by and large his jist on the world and made a corresponding judgement call.Spot said:unclehobart said:Gonz said:Religion is fine. It's followers are fucked up.
