And that’s the attitude of most gen Y’ers… and it’s a major reason the country is as fucked up as it is.
I’m a very non-religious person, but I think the country would be a lot better off if more people were scared of the invisible man in the sky like they used to be. Far too few parents teach their kids respect, or to think about anything about their own wants. Religion helped teach these kids about respect when they weren’t getting that teaching at home.

:word: that is the point I was trying to make. Yes people have done some horrid things in the name of the Bible, the Koran and every other major religion. But it is the teachings of being kind and decent toward your fellow man that must be understood and taken in. People have no respect anymore. This is a “do what you feel like” society and it is crumbling because of it. People do what makes them FEEL good, not what they SHOULD do. So maybe it will take 2 mins of your day to help an elderly woman with her groceries at the store, maybe it takes a tiny bit of effort to hold your tongue and not bash somebody even though they are being an asshole. People need to learn respect and compassion for others, instead of only focusing all their energy in word.
