I Can't Stand It When People Fight Over Religion
RANT:
I've never been one to care how someone religiously identifies themselves, however as I become more awakened I've begun to notice how Christianity has a lot of privileges in this world.
I don't have anything against someone being Christian, but I hate how, in the US at least, their religion gets more rights just because it's popular.
For example, here on campus there is someone here every week either blocking your path trying to give you a bible, or they are standing somewhere with a microphone reading from the Bible, going up to people and asking them about Jesus, preaching, or sometimes even verbally targeting people passing by. Also just the other week, someone had a worship concert outside, right in the middle of campus. Now I understand that some people do want to hear all of this, but other people don't believe in this sort of thing or don't want to be bothered with a Christian coming up to them and asking them tons of questions. If I stood outside and walked up to random people asking why they haven't aren't a Satanist, or a Luciferian, or Pagan or anything else, I'd probably be asked to leave by the authorities. And what if I held a ritual right outside on the quad too? Probably the same fate. But you won't see me doing something like that because I'm aware that other people don't want to be bothered with something they don't believe in.
Also, book stores and libraries have an extensive Christian collection of texts(which is okay since Christianity is popular) and they label them properly, but then the small selection of other religious texts is labeled Fiction or Fantasy. If you're going to label those religions as fiction, shouldn't you be labeling Christianity as fiction too? No religion is more or less valid than another.
I don't want Christianity to have less rights, I just want it to start being regarded to like any other religion. They're all equal.
