Everyone else = everyone except for him.
How pretentious.

No...the noun in his statement was 'everyone else whose knowledge came from south park.' Not simply 'everyone else.'
He's saying, he fit into that group before (people who knew nothing about it), and wanted to do something about it. |

I took it as an implication that everyone who doesn't agree with religion/isn't religious isn't knowledgeable about it, hence why I stopped reading.
His next post seems to clarify that he also disagrees with religion, and now reading your lastest post it seems he meant he didn't want to be like specific people whose knowledge of religion comes from only those sources. I read it as everyone else b/c that's what he said, the use of people rather than everyone else would have been a good clarifier in the original post, that's all.
I grew up as a Roman Catholic and went to Catholic school all my life and met lots of great, devoted religious people at Christian Summer camps and whatnot but when I got older I realized those kind of religious people become overshadowed by the crazy zealots.
I hate these people ruin organized religion for everyone b/c for some people they get a lot out of their faith and religion but that crazy nutbags like Westboro give religion a poor reputation. I hate that people use religion as essentially a justification for hatred, intolerence, war and any number of things are are the exact opposite of what Christ would have believed in if he were a real person.*
*Not saying he is or isn't, just pointing out how hypocritical certain factions of religious zealots are.
While I'm not sure I personally believe in God I don't think people who do are crazy, just that many people twist belief and religion into something awful and claim superiority based on their beliefs. Ick.

Westboro is one walking contradiction. They believe that if God loves you, you will not die a painful death (hence they protest at soldiers' funerals, etc.)
However...assuming it's true...didn't Christ die the most painful death? (=><=)
I think just about anyone besides someone in the Westboro family, hates Westboro. |

I strongly disagree with them. But I don't hate them. I do my best to not hate anyone, even when the things the do make me extremely angry.

Hate is a strong word but I reserve my hate for the likes of pedophiles, murderers, rapists, terrorists and vile people like Fred Phelps and his followers.

Holy crap, campus was spammed to hell last night with this KGP crap.
Why is it they're allowed to spew their religious propaganda all over an educational institute's property?
Its just getting tacky and ridiculous now.
