A Rant on Ignorance/Stubbornness

[Cinder]

This is one of the things I absolutely HATE about humans...when they form an opinion, THEY'RE right, everyone else is wrong...

Take religion for example...most religious people will flat out say "God exists, I KNOW IT!!!one!!!1!!! If you don't believe me, YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!!!one!!!1!!!"...now, don't get me wrong...I may be Agnostic, but I have nothing against people that do have faith, as long as they're willing to say "well, I don't agree with you, but you're your own person and have the right to think what you think"...especially when their big "proof" is a book that's been edited, translated, and rewritten so many times, it's hardly reliable...

Another great example: BRAWLTARDS..."no, Melee's dead...no one plays it anymore...if you don't play Brawl, you're not a true Smasher"..."Brawl is the best, end of story, if you think Melee's better, you're stupid"...once again, I may not agree, but if a person's willing to accept my opinion, I won't harrass them about theirs...

I mean, it appalls me how ignorant people can be...they absolutely refuse to listen to anyone else's opinions and force theirs down people's throats as if they had the right to...

But I'll end it there...you get my point...I hate it when people get like THIS (yes, clicky clicky)...

I think it varies...

Like, for religion and politics, that's when people get into heated arguments because it's really a big deal. While ignorant things are said, you can't really help it because a majority of the religions want you to spread said religion.

While I agree with your example in religion, I don't think it's exactly nice to pinpoint Christianity (At least, that's what I think. >__> IGNORE ME). Why not talk about Buddhism and Islam and their hypocritical religions? Sure, you can point out the hypocrisy in Christianity, but next time, just generally state other religions. (I SOUND LIKE SUCH A BITCH D: )

Now, situations like Smash Bros... contrary to some people, it is not a topic of "serious discussion." Compared to religion and politics, it doesn't measure up. THAT is when I have a serious loathing for people.

Wake the fuck up. Our economy is dying and everyone has a life outside of video games. No one cares if you can't beat ____ with [insert character].

It's is true that Christian's tend to get awfully defensive though. I'll have to tell you about the discussion that Jay had with his dad about me.

[wtflove]

Yes, Christian (fanatics) tend to get (UBER) defensive, but you could say the same for Muslims. You can say the same for Buddhists. You can say the same for Hindus.

[Cinder]

True...

But how often do you see that here, or hear about it elsewhere? Well, yeah, terrorists...but I haven't heard of Hindus doing anything TOO insane...

Besides, I had the Westboro Baptists on my mind when I made this >.>

[wtflove]

I know.

I hear some Buddhists and Hindus, but not a lot; and it's not that good to ASSUME that every Muslim that is ignorant about their beliefs MUST be a terrorist. If that's the case, then I've been talking to A LOT of terrorists.

[Cinder]

Oh, I know...I was just giving an example...
