The title says it all. This is a rant. A big rant. About how much I hate religion. Especially the one I am apparently a member of.
*Dax prepares himself for retaliation*
Mormons.
Yes. I am not proud to admit it, but I am (legally) Mormon.
Kill me.
I say legally, because I personally hate them. Once you are in their snares, you can't escape their clutches. So, now I have something to look forward to in ~1.6 years.
My eighteenth birthday. And can you tell me what that means? That is when I am an adult. That is when I can request to have my name removed from their records.
And if they don't?
I'll sue their asses.
Simple as that.
I guess that I could go into a little more detail about why I hate them. So I will. I will try to explain every reason clearly and simply.
1) Expectations:
They expect you to go to church, every Sunday.They all expect you to dress nicely for church, every Sunday. They want you to go to "mutual", every Tuesday.
2) Priesthood Duties:
Luckily I managed to weasel my way out of this one. They tell you to prepare the sacrament, collect fast-offerings (A.K.A., Money), and do whatever they want you to do, like a monkey on a leash.
3) Keeping the "Sabbath" Day, "Holy":
Essentially, just no Video-Games on Sunday.
4) Seminary:
As if three hours each Sunday weren't enough, I have to go to fuggin' Seminary. That means, I have to go to one hour of scripture (Bible and other books) study. Every. F***kin'. Day.
I have more reasons up my sleeve, such as how Religion and Politics are always hand-in-hand. Take a look at what is going on today. The Presidential Election. That's right, Mitt Romney. But don't get me wrong. I am personally voting for Mitt. Not because he's Mormon, but because he's an entrepreneurial genius. His tithing (10% of all your income) is millions. Now, if he's making that kind of money, I'd love to put him in office so that he can exclusively out of debt.
But, I can't vote. That's right, I'm 16.4.
Anyways. I gotta split. I need to check out a book from the library, and make it home soon. So, I'll just leave you with one of my new nicknames. Mamy Will.

So, yeah. Peace, Bn out.
