Big news in Vatican city! A new pope has been elected- Pope Frances. I was reading an article about the issues he wants to adress now that he's been given this post. He wants to stop Christian oppression, racism towards other religions, housekeep the Vatican, and what I found interesting; try to make Christianity a more liberal way of life. This is pretty controversial, and I'm not Christian so I can't say much but I think that this will be a HUGE improvement in the world. See, I notice things. I notice that the majority of gay guys (I'm not being politically incorrect or anything. I have gay friends. And they dont really like the term "homosexual".) at my school are atheists. I also notice that people tend to shun away from the idea of religion, or religious people and that they openly think the Bible Studies Club is weird, whereas if anyone ever openly called the GBLC at my school weird, they would be called horrible, old fashioned, and be avoided like the plague. These are all different way of life! One is not better than the other.
I don't pretend to be the most open-minded girl out there. There alot of things that I'm still not sure I'm comfortable with, and there are alot of ideas, that to be honest, I don't accept. But I would never NEVER judge anybody for their ideas or beliefs. There are two sides to every spectrum. It's not a good thing for religious people to judge atheists, but at the same time, it's not fair for atheists to judge religious people. While straight people should never judge gay people, gay people shouldn't assume that being gay gives them a sympathy liscense in life. While majorities should respect minorites, majorities deserve an equal amount of respect.
I get that these are strong statements I'm making and not everybody will feel comfortable with them. But like I said, you don't have to be comfortable with everything! Just respect and don't judge.
