It doesn't bother me that she and others are speaking publicly about how wrong they think the kiss was.
It does bother me that there are people who think their religion, morality and thinking is the only right way.
I bring religion into this only because in the two interviews that I have seen Ms Jackson give this past week she showed the bible and talked about how "secular humanists are stealing our innocence".
I don't remember ever hearing that term before so I looked it up at dictionary.com; a secular humanist is: –noun
Well if nothing else I have found a clean that can be used to describe me.
I realize that what I am about to write may be offensive to some who read them. No curse words will be used but the content may offend. I want to apologize beforehand if you are bothered by what I write.
I do believe in God. Churches, not so much.
I have never liked churches because the ones I have been to seem to have the belief that if you don't believe as they do your going to hell (ok, one curse word but it fits the context).
I won't say the majority of churchgoers I have met are so fervent in their belief that if they find out you don't wholeheartedly agree with them;they look down on you. I have even had many try to convert me and get very angry when I refuse. But I have met enough people like that that I am leery of anyone I meet who goes to church every Sunday.
None of that means I disrespect weekly churchgoers because I can respect anyone who believes that is the right thing to do and follow it. I loose respect when they try to convert me no matter what I say.
And that it's a problem when Victoria Jackson, Pat Robertson, Jehovah Witnesses and others act as though the belief they have is the only path to God. I believe there are as many paths to God as there are people.
My morality and beliefs are between God and me. And that's they way it should be for everyone. I just wish everyone would see that. The world would be a better place.
