Unforgiven and I were talking about a troll who posted about their town getting back to Christian values and shops closing on Sundays. He went on to offer the businesses that were open up for review by their council to see who would stay open. As a coupe de grah he said their also shouldn't be any drinking on Sunday, G-d's day of rest. To say the least, I wasn't amused. What about the non Christians who live in their town? Should they be made to stay home and act like Christians too? He also stated that they shouldn't drink on Sundays either. Riiight. Armchair bible thumpers are the worst. they preach to the Heavens about what's right and wrong without knowing the actual answers.

I have lived this way my whole life. Part of me feels guilty for not following my religion more. Frankly, I can't afford to take off during Jewish holidays and my job doesn't work on Christian ones. I don't protest (to them) and respect their holidays. I don't bitch about decorations unless they expect me to put them up. All in all I think I'm pretty fair about the whole 'not my religion but you have fun' stance. It only gets me riled when some moron decides to preach about how we should be following Christian ways, blah blah blah... as a society. Some people see it as a harmless albeit insensitive gesture. To me, it's an insult. Not only to myself, but to my friends who are also non Christians. Be they Jewish, Muslim, Atheist or other... they deserve the respect of not having to volley insensitive comments about living their life. I'm not asking for much. I don't want the society to be sooo PC that you can't say 'Boo' without offending a Satanist. I just want a little common sense used when asking for changes that affect society as whole, and not just your local Church goers.
