Here's the thing that really blows my gord. They extrapolate their own problems to apply to everyone around them. They believe that if they have an addiction, then everyone must have the same problem. And they think that if the solution for THEM is religion, they think the solution for everyone must be religion.

And then they do things like this: I've heard of people in the porn industry that abuse people. You work in the porn industry, so you apparently abuse people. I've heard of porn industry people that use drugs, so you probably use drugs too. Someone at my church gave a sermon on how the porn industry draws in weak people for child trafficking. That must mean you engage in child trafficking.

And here's my favorite bible thumping agenda: I don't drink because alcohol is addicting. Therefore alcohol is evil, and anyone who drinks is also evil. Completely putting aside that alcohol itself has nothing to do with the problem. They are the problem. I'll have 2 shots on the rocks, please.

Basically they think that because they were a weak-minded person who had no way of coping with the stresses of day-to-day life... they think everyone must also be weak-minded, too.

And that's precisely why I can't stand religion or religious people.

Sometimes they kick back a reply that's something along the lines of "you must be living such an empty life, without having any faith." That makes me want to kick these assholes in the nuts! I reply with "I have quite a fulfilling life, believing in myself. I believe that belief in myself allows me to accomplish anything... here on earth. I don't have to sit and pray for the afterlife. Frankly I find that a more fulfilling experience than any religion has ever given me..."

And then they go on a ballistic tirade talking about how disgusting it is to only believe in yourself. I think most of them have serious mental problems.
