Furry Haters

RunihuraRunihura had a journal post lately that called attention to this:
http://www.truechristian.com/furries.html
It's a Christian furry-bashing site. Read it at your own risk. It doesn't make me feel very good about our present-day society...
... so much hatred and intolerance... With so much arrogance and blind cruelty, how can they have any business considering themselves people at all, let alone more human than us? I have never known a furry who hates, nor a furry who wishes truly and seriously to cause harm, working actively through legal and communal channels to inflict HARM. Even 2 the Ranting Gryphon himself, though hilariously vocal and outspoken, has never attempted to publish defamatory material against anyone. He has never attempted to destroy someone's life from the inside out and he'll be the first one to tell you "those fucks should BLEED".
What the fuck is wrong with these human supremacists? Just about every damned thing on that site has been reference to harmless, light-hearted skits, people dancing in mascot suits, no fucking, hardly even any cursing. And yet they're so ready and willing to pull the trigger.
No, you know what? I know what happens to furries who hate. Nobody likes them. They are ousted by their own hatred and become Burned Fur. It's obvious yet I don't want to admit it even as I write this now: they're only lashing out at a community that was too good for them. Wishful thinking, right? Is that what they'd tell me? I've seen it all before: there's always some sad, lonely soul who ends up at the ass-end of everything, and everybody else maintains their social status by stepping on the underdog. it happened to me, it happened to my friends. And I know what happened to the original burned furs, too. They awakened from their blind rage and got on with their lives, most of them learning quickly that nobody in the real world wants to hear about how much somebody hates somebody else.
I'm so tired of seeing shit like this... but it'll happen no matter where you go.

Ever had one of those moments, though, where you look up and realize how grotesque and horrifying a 'devout' Christian is? How... disturbing it is to see a living mind twisted into such a state of disheveled disease and brainwashing, closed to any suggestion of alternative, compressed and bound by fear and hate... I see it every day. The Christians out there, the devout ones, the only thing they concern themselves with is how to use the name of God to excuse their own sick, psychotic tendencies.
When the year 1000 A.D. rolled around, it WAS the end of the world for half the earth's population, for on that day, the entire part of humanity that was stupid enough to believe Armageddon was around the corner committed suicide. Aren't you glad that their intellectual denseness did not get to live on? Don't you wish that all the religious nut jobs of the modern day all died off in 2000 A.D.? Our intelligence is thus both a blessing and a curse... *sigh*.

Also, <3 for ZombieCat ^^
you have made my night! :D
Or not. Maybe it's the Nyquil talking. *whoooz*
Made your night? Why, because I commented? Oh c'mon. Don't inflate my ego. Nobody wants that.
Just a minor correction, because I know some true, devout Christians...and I have also met quite a few dirtball Zealots.
I think they should be reported to the government, as an entity promoting hate and hate crime--as they said in the heading of one of their pages (and yes, I copy-n-pasted it here, so no mistranslations!):
"Here is our hit list of the follows of Satan we need to take out by category then by alphabet order".
THAT is scary.
BTW: Don't worry about it much...I have a friend in the military who I think can get me in the right direction to get them off the web, if not in custody. :) Something about hate crimes getting lumped under terrorism and all....
They aren't Christians.
No more than the dumb-asses who flew those planes into the WTC on 9/11/01 were Muslims. To wit, In Name Only.
TRUE followers of any religion--be it Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Wicca, Buddhism, Shamanism, countless others--would NEVER act in such a manner, using "God" or any form of Diety and/or any Holy text in such a deliberately malicious attack on others. Most religions, at their core, work towards understanding, compassion, and caring for all others.
Alrighty, I'm getting off my soapbox now.
And ... a thing that bothers me is how few real christians, islams, jews, wiccans, buddhists, and shamans there are. I'm sure I'm not the only one who can see the terror in the eyes of the generic white suburban male at the thought of anything that isn't the same brainwashing fare he grew up on. I still see within them more than enough potential to inflict a dizzyingly cataclysmic ammount of harm while honestly believing that being different DOES mean a threat.
But, on that note... I've changed a little bit since I've posted this journal (again!), and I realize that I've got as much business badmouthing them as they have me. Unfortunately, though -I- know that that means I have NO business, they often don't :(
I'm not going to have any more problems with people who follow a religeon. I'm not going to hold someone's philosophy against them, not anymore... Because hate exists OUTSIDE of religion, too -_-
minds that hate are admittedly attracted, but only because it allows them to feel good about themselves. it isn't that slapping a God sticker onto something makes it evil... it's just that God stickers are extremely useful to hateful minds. It gives them an excuse. What it really comes down to is abusing a resource.
Abusing a resource is always bad, and that's my latest life-lesson.
