Isn't it funny.

Why is it that everytime people start talking about stopping religious intolerance, it inevitably means removing something christian, and in the most intolerant of ways no less? I mean, I *know* why, so I guess it's more rhetorical than anything, but still, it rather annoys me. Most often, when people speak of religious intolerance, what it really comes down to is anything but christianity. I mean, you can see a flyer for some pagan or buddhist club or something, and no one throws a huff, but put up a flyer for Jesus, and hoo-boy, watch the shit hit the fan. There are always exceptions of course, but one never hears about those, so they're as good as useless.

What I also find amusing, in a black humor sort of way, is that so often, the people crying religious intolerance are the very people who have none. What brought this up was how some coach put up a christian banner about how everyone was a part of team Jesus or something, in order to motivate his guys who have been having a lousy season. I'll admit it was corny, but I don't see how it's religiously intolerant. I mean, say some students don't actually believe in Jesus or christianity, how is that intolerant to have up a banner? I don't believe in Santa (comes with the whole not existing bit really), but you don't see me making a huge public outcry when people put up stuff about him all over the place. One just goes with it. Truth be told, all those movies that are about people needing to regain their "love" and "trust" in Santa sometimes smack a little too much of blasphemy to me, but again, you don't see me trying to ban christmas movies. Maybe I should... :P

And with that, my rant ends.
