I have feeling that this post might cause a bit of a stir. So I just want to warn you that I’m not the most politcally correct person in the world.

I was driving out to Target today and there was a truck in front of me that was making a blatant stab at John Kerry when he made it very clear that he was still Catholic and pro-choice. It had a bumper stick that said “YOU CAN’T BE CATHOLIC AND PRO-CHOICE”.

Well, now, that’s just stupid. Yes you can.
Just like you can be a Muslim and GAY.
Just like you can be Jewish and eat pork.
Just like you can be Catholic and pre-marital sex.

You can do whatever you want. This is why I don’t like organized religions: they make decisions for you. And, heaven forbid, if you’re a Catholic and you believe that getting an abortion is a right a woman should have.

It is just like the gay marriage thing: it is not a moral issue, but Bush makes it seem that way. It is a rights issue. There is no reason why gays can’t marry. Just like there wasn’t a reason back in the 1960s for interracial couples to marry. Abortion and gay marriage are made into moral issues by the churches. There is nothing morally right with aborting a fertilized egg, but it is the right a woman has to make that choice. That decision was made years ago and reversing it would have an extremly negative effect on society.

I don’t like ignorant religious people. What’s so wrong with being gay - besides the fact that god hinted at it in the bible? Is falling in love with someone who is the same sex as you really a good enough reason to go to hell? In my personal opinion, if you feel that way, you’re a bad person and should go to hell. Love is a beautiful thing, and who the fuck is GOD to tell you that you cant love another man? Or another woman?

Who the fuck is the CHURCH to tell you what you can and cannot support? Who the hell does the church think they are by renouncing communion to a prominent politician simply because he supported a woman’s right to chose.

With this, I present an open letter to the Catholic church. Well, and Bush. But that’s a whole nother blog entry.

Dear Catholic church:
You cannot control the world, what individuals think, who they sleep with, and whether or not they abort their babies. Stop trying to assert control over those of us individual enough not to follow your iron fisted attempts at controlling the moral actions of everyone in the world. Why should us non-Catholics have to suffer because you want things a certain way?

What makes you think your way of life is better than mine? What makes you think your beliefs and laws are better than mine? What makes you think you’re worthy of making rules and telling people what they can and cannot believe?

Quit acting like Joseph Stalin. You’re not a dictatorship. You can’t control anything outside of your walls, stop trying to. You’re destroying the lives of millions of innocent people. How could you support a family when they decide to disown their homosexual son/daughter because you’ve told them that they are going to burn in the flames of hell *?

With that said, I am aware that your beliefs differ from mine. The difference is mine don’t restrict people from their basic rights, yours do. And that, dear Catholic church, is why I will stand by my beliefs until the end of time with unwaivering support.

Love, the girl not afraid to have her own opinion.

Take that, Bush. Some of us managed to graduate high schools during your reign with our own thoughts and opinions still in tact… not to mention with supporting facts.

How is it ok to tell people what they can and cannot believe in? I am starting to feel like Bush is a milder version of Hitler. Holocaust II anyone?

* I hope you understand what I mean by this. The church doesn’t agree with gay sex practices… this is what I am referring to. Duh.
