A person I’ve just met, who has to announce their particular religion, in the first few moments of meeting them.
I’m a natural born skeptic, I find all religions equally laughable. When someone announces their religion right off the bat, I feel like they are looking for the secret handshake, an attempt to curry favor on the basis of their religion, and not on who they actually are.
I’ve seen far too many overtly religious types, who are anything but, actual followers of their professed religion. They use it as a tool. To get the job, to get the favor, to see what they can get out of you.
I do not generally judge a person by their religion, or lack of it, I judge a person by their actions.
…and if your religion is the basis for you being a lying, thieving, manipulative, wife beating, child abusing, bigoted jack ass, then it apparently hasn’t taken.
You’ve seen them too. Or, maybe you prefer not to look.
“By their actions, you shall know them.”
