I'm withdrawing a bit on LJ. Some of you may have noticed I haven't posted much lately, at least not publicly. I've felt no muse to write, and have had little to say.

I've also weeded my firends list a bit, taking off people I either wasn't taking the time to read (so why list them as a friend?), or people whose lives have gone off in different directions than mine (we have little in common anymore). I also have removed some people I have had falling outs with in recent months, who seemed not to value my contributions to discussions on their LJs (After all, why bother dialoguing with someone who doesn't respect you or your opinions? Too many hurt feelings, to much chance of opening old wounds, better to withdraw).

I'm sorry if my removing you as a friend hurts your feelings. But now that school is starting again, I need to focus, and too many "friends" on LJ is just a distraction.
Very few things piss me off like saying to me "I will pray for you." Don't you fucking dare you delusional condescending PRICK!

Let me be LOUD AND CLEAR here: I believe that if you believe there is some sort of invisibly sky being called "God" that listens to your prayers and directs the world, or that your "ghost" will somehow get to play with this God forever and ever in a happy place called "heaven," and your dead grandparents' ghosts and the ghost of that puppy that died when you were 7 will be there to keep you company forever and ever, then you are a delusional child who can't face the realities of the world without illusions like "Santa Claus" or "Jesus."

Grow up, people!

Sure, you have the right to believe in whatever religion you want. Just as I have the right to think you are mentally ill or worse, and hold you in contempt, because you think invisible people are watching out for your well-being.

And so what if 90% of people believe in this "God" delusion... 90% of people believeing in something doesn't make it real. That's called a "mass delusion."

I'm sick and tired of pussy-footing around religious people and holding my tongue. Enough. If you believe in "God," then I hold you in contempt of reality. And I will tell you so.
