I need some of this support on these damn Facebook pages I follow. I don't know why I follow them because I know they infuriate me sometimes but I hate to let a debate go to close minded Christians. Because I'm in Texas a lot of people are religious so pages you'd think wouldn't mention god, such as the one infuriating me now called Texas Hill Country, randomly bring it up and I get in way over my head. I haven't even been a member of AF for 2 months yet but yall are the ones I keep running to when I can't handle all the religious freaks around me.
Ya know when someone tells you to calm down and it just fuels the fire? No? Hmm must be just me lol well being told to get over it does the same thing. I was told to get over it when saying in god we trust is a horrible motto for us. Not all Americans believe in him. I want to smack human decency into them but I can't and I can't just let it be like a normal person so you guys get to hear (... read?) Me rant. Can't yall all just get on Facebook, join the page, and back me up? Lol ;p
I don't follow pages that infuriate me. Sometimes you can see my comments on "Peace begins where religion ends", "We love atheism", "We fucking love atheism". Also on "Stop homophobia" and "Homophobes are morons" with the latter two seem to be run by atheists. But NEVER on pages that can accelerate my rage.
Well the thing is that usually the page specifically that I was ranting about doesn't bother me. It's primarily just fun Texas stuff, places to go, local fun news, pretty pictures, etc. Every now and then the whole you gotta be a cowboy to enjoy Texas and you hafta be Christian to be a cowboy thing surfaces and that infuriates me. Like the whole sign issue. The sign is maintained by the city which is government and it says "This is god's country don't drive through it like hell" They posted how they didn't want to lose their iconic sign (cause of course traditions triumphs asking to keep god out of government) and I went off on that but that was awhile ago. Yesterday they posted the anniversary of putting In God We Trust on our money and how awesome that was so I went off again. On the other hand I am in a photo contest for their magazine lol. As for the rest of the fights I get into are on news pages and honestly if I didn't follow them I wouldn't know what was going on in the world because I don't read the newspaper nor have cable. I did stop going into the comments section of 9gag.com because I knew that it angered me. Pretty proud of myself for that one lol.
“What screws us up the most in life is the picture in our head of what it's supposed to be.”
Also if your signature makes my scrolling mess up "you're tacky and I hate you."
