In The Mood

Yeah. I'm in the mood for a little rant thing.
Basically... the easiest way to explain this is that people who push their beliefs on me absolutely make me go cold with hatred!
I have experienced such hatred a couple of times recently from someone who will go unnamed.
To quote Derren Brown here seems appropriate: "True believers rationalize failures and ignore them, whereas science welcomes failures and uses them to better understand something"
This is a basic principle that I stand by... we should always search for the truth and the most rational idea.
I admit that I may not do that all of the time but I'm only human after all.
I firmly believe that anybody is welcome to believe whatever the hell they want. As long as they don't bother me or anyone else with it.
This seems to be another good time to quote Derren: "A person has every right to believe that unbiased, real world evidence does not interest them... they can contentedly go down that route as long as they have no wish to be taken seriously in a rational discussion of their beliefs... and isn't blowing anyone up"
"No-one however who decides that scientific evidence is not for them... then decides that their belief is the be all and end all of everything ever has the right to call people searching for reliable, repeatable evidence narrow minded. This is hypocrisy of the most laughable kind."
Therefore... to conclude this rant --
I am annoyed at a certain person who keeps pushing their beliefs on me(knowingly or not)... this has annoyed me to the point of writing this since I am not a confrontational person but still need a way to release tension.
I hope I haven't offended anyone but... It's what I believe and like I said, you can believe what ever you want as long as you don't try to convert any one else to your beliefs.
A final note >> In case you are religious and don't wish to upset or offend anyone... if you say you will "Pray for someone" or that they "should look to God" or anything like that when they don't believe... despite you meaning well, it is very patronizing and often upsetting or annoying.
Thanks if you read all that. ROFL
I didn't expect any one too.
I feel better now
Peace Out
