Someone help me take a deep ass breath
I am getting tired of it all, tired of being told that a majority can't be persecuted against, just damn tired.

2. I was just about to PM you
I am just getting so very angry and frustrated at this all. I hear that a majority can't be discriminated against and I think that's absurd, now I dont think Christians are persecuted but I do think there is a lot of intolerance and intolerance last I checked is still bad.

3. HA!
I just got two lectures over a stupid post about the movie Gothika. One, I was told my question about it did not belong in the classic movies forum, and then that my spoilers something or other was not big enough.

As for the x-tian thing-hell, I ain't even a religious person and I find the intolerance here towards x-tians outrageous.

4. I know you're not that religious
You've said so on many occassions but you at least know intolerance when you see it.

Another helpful hint: You can't breathe through your ass.

10. "Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you...
...and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

"Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."

-Matthew 5:11-12

14. Its beautiful
Here's my favorite prayer.

"O Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace!
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is discord, harmony.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sorrow, joy.

Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not
so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life."
by one of my favorite saints no less :).
