I find it amazing that people so love to hate each other.
And all in the name of spirituality. Even if the people in question are atheists.
I mean, I can understand hatred and mud being slung at the Abrahamic religions. Especially Christianity and Islam. Since those two religions spread so much hatred in the name of their Gods toward others.
Even the original religion of Judaism doesn't seem to be founded nearly on as much hatred as Islam and Christianity.
But what did Buddhism ever do to people to make them hate it so much?
Atheists seem to think that it's cool to just put down anyone who has the slightest spiritual beliefs anymore. It's becoming a fad where atheists do this as a standard knee-jerk reaction to anything that's even remotely spiritual.
It's truly unbelievable.
Believing in a secular world is one thing.
But if that belief is going to cause people to have absolutely no respect for anyone who doesn't also support an atheistic view of reality then what has it become?
It has itself become a "religion", or worse yet a cult, just like the Abrahamic religions that renounce anyone who refuses to climb on board as being a 'worthless heathen' unworthy of respect.
It's truly unbelievable how ignorant humans become in matters of spirituality, whether it be a belief in spirituality, or the rejection of those beliefs.
Hatred seems to be a core trait of the human condition I guess.
It's pretty sad.
But then again, what should we expect from a planet filled with spoiled half-evolved apes?
I guess it's just the reality of the situation.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
