Respecting Stupidity
I don't.
Sorry.
A religion that tries to force its stupid rules
on the rest of the world
deserves respect?
I don't think so.
A religion that makes rules
expecting non-believers to follow them
is tyrannical.
I don't respect tyrants.
A religion that tries to bully respect
with beatings and burnings and kidnappings
is a bully.
I don't respect bullies.
I don't respect religions because they are religions.
That is stupid.
I respect actions of kindness, courage, love, poetry,
goodness and humour.
I respect intelligence.
Stupidity has so many forms.
Holier than thou is the ugliest of these,
whatever the religion.
