Whatever you need to get thru life is your business, but don't get at me saying I'm going to hell just because I live in a different way, cuz that's just gonna get you punched in the face for being an obnoxious fuck, you know?

Btw i don't mean you as in YOU lol I got love for Batty da gawd.

Yeah, I feel ya 100 on that, trust... especially the part about "whatever you need to get thru life...", that's actually my point, I don't care if a person is spiritual or not, I don't care if they think I'm going to hell or whatever they might think. The point is, we all have been influenced whether it be from a mentor, a preacher, a friend, a life experience, a book, etc. We are not born with morals or a code, we create that shit ourselves even if we choose a religion. Even if a person decides to choose Christianity out of all the other religions out there, there are TONS of denominations to choose from, some very different from others.

Disgruntled atheists would just generally have us believe that all Christians are deep woods Southern Baptists who dance with snakes and hold BURN IN HELL FAGS signs just as a lot of anti-Catholics would have you believe all Priests jack little boys. I got friends who are preachers, atheists, muslims, etc. I was just saying, I ain't got no anger towards anybody trying to get some faith and be good.

I'm saying all this and I don't even go to church myself lol.
