One More Thing

<rant>

I’ve just read a bunch more posts of people vilifying other people. Y’all need to get over yourselves.

Michael Vick hurt a bunch of dogs. I know that. I know how evil the act was. Hey, HE knows how evil it was. But are you never going to let the man get over it and become the beautiful human being he is supposed to be?

Yeah, I wish I had his money. But I still have his problem. I know what I did, and I’ve served much penance for it. The only person I hurt long since forgave me — it’s all you haters out there who love to hate people, and whom I never hurt or threatened in the least, who refuse to forgive. YOU ARE THE ABUSERS NOW.

Guess what? It’s not your job to forgive me. All you are doing is making it harder for me to be the wonderful person I usually am. How many people have you helped? How much have you done to make the world a better place? You haters do more harm that a thousand dog-torturers, and you keep doing it and pat yourselves on the back for all the hate you spread.

There Is No “Them”. We are all dragged down or lifted up together. If you think it’s more important to organize a boycott against some one person or type of person, YOU’RE THE PROBLEM.

And ya know, most of you claim to follow a “religion of peace” and state that the world would be better if everyone followed your faith. Is it making you better? Have wars stopped? How many wars have been started with “God on Our Side”? How many have been stopped by religion?  For every Gandhi there are a dozen Hitlers — backed by a thousand Cheneys (weapons makers profiting from the wars).

Your hate does not make me better. It does not make YOU better. It does not make the WORLD better.

Get over your damned selves. I’m sure you will be found “lukewarm” at best, and you know what happens then… if you’ve read your scriptures.
