Religion seems to be such a touchy topic, especially around the holidays and such. I am writing a story with a character in it who practices Christianity, so, knowing little about it, i decided to look up some passages that were relevant to the story. Half way down the results on Google were hateful sites about it. It was insane! The passage i was looking up wasn't even about anything about homosexuality or race or anything, it was the passage when Jesus made the blind man see, John 9:1-3 or something (cause his bf who is not really religious is blind and asked about it).

Nonetheless, i found the passage extremely interesting and tried to talk to a friend  about it, who upon the mention of it got extremely defensive about only believing what they see.

It's not like i was trying to push the religion on them, i wasn't even trying to push the religion on ME, it was something i found interesting and wanted someone to discuss with.

Honestly, though, people do get way too defensive over such. I, personally, am not religious, but if someone is then it's great. The problem i have is the people who try to FORCE religion onto others, and THAT is where most of the turmoil stems from, i find.

I have had religious views forced upon me several times, and it is not pleasant in the least, especially since the person who tried to "Convert" me was being kinda aggressive.
But it is people like THAT who make everyone think that every mention of it is trying to "Convert" people.

Ok, so WHO of you have read the passage i was talking about? Cause i think many people would find it quite interesting, i will link to it when i am done. but Really, people, why can't we even mention it?

I know some people reading this ARE religious, and some AREN'T and this is not attacking EITHER SIDE, in fact, if anything it is attacking BOTH sides, including myself.

I'm probably one of those people who flip whenever Christianity is mentioned, but in my defence most of the Christians I know are fucking assholes, so that kind of fucked my view of things. In any case I might read the passage later. c:
