"How the fuck am I going to hell for having sex with other girls to receive the same punishment as Hitler who killed six million people. That doesn't sound like a just god. In fact, just for not believing in god -- I'll be sent to hell, while if Hitler repented before he killed himself, he could wind up in heaven. How am I as bad as Hitler? Or Pol Pot? Just because I like girls, and don't believe in a god that would do that to me. It just doesn't make any sense,"
Common sense reasoning, too bad religitards can't see it. I'm glad that you're not like drfuzzy's parents that disowned her for being complete loons, in believing such nonsense. That's good that you can respect your child for who they are, and don't hold her to such moronic standards. Kudos for being a non-judgmental parent, and having the common sense to see that she is doing nothing wrong.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
