I don't mind myself too much in the opinions of others. They can believe whatever they want. The thing I dont understand, Is why they insist on caring about mine. Don't tell me that my beliefs are wrong, Those are empty words, and you're wasting your breath. I can believe whatever I want, And here's the kicker, so can you, Peacefully. If I want to believe that the world bounces up and down, Like a child with ADD, Then I can, And its none of your concern. But just because I may BELIEVE that the world bounces up and down, Like a spasmist child might, Rather than spins, Doesn't mean I'm right. Think, You may not be right either. You believe that being gay is wrong. I believe that hating people for loving another person is wrong. You can believe what you want, Thats perfectly fine, And I wont say anything. But once you start saying things about what I believe, And telling me its wrong and disgusting and that I'm an abomination, Thats not fine. And buddy-boy... Me and you are gonna have some words.

Just because a person believes in something different than you, it doesn't give you the right to hate on them. I'm pretty sure that in every religion, being a good person is a main goal. Hating a person for no legitimate reason is NOT being a good person.
