This is everything I dislike about Christianity in a nutshell. If it's not somebody's building to pray in (and sometimes even if it is) it's just "paganism" or "primitive" and not worthy of equal footing as a religion. It's a proverbial boot forever stomping on someone else's beliefs, in this case taking the real-life shape of a road bulldozed through sacred lands.

... a million dollars in 15 days? Good luck... *shakes head*

I know. It's looking pretty hopeless but the word is being distributed virally, at least on tumblr, and the call is to tweet this at celebrities, reblog it every time you see it, post the word everywhere you can.

I'm effectively a pacifist, but I would still kill for the day when the civilized world outgrows the superstitious, puritanical perversions of earnest spirituality and philosophy collectively regarded as religions, ESPECIALLY Christianity. If you wanna have a theology and a set of ethical imperatives and metaphysical concepts, fine. When you have a situation where free thought, questions, challenging the establishment in general becomes something to be squashed at the first sign? It needs to go.

I'm not religious, but I do thank God every day that I went through what I went through in my teens because it's led me to a very healthy and excellent spiritual path, even if I went through the "valley of the shadow of death" to get here. I know from experience that if i hadn't suffered to reach where I am now, I wouldn't appreciate it.
