Girl's not grey

I remember being about 12 or 13 and accidentally seeing the music video for AFI's 'Miss Murder' and thinking that it was the coolest and sexiest thing ever. Same thing happened with 'God Save the Queen' by Sex Pistols. In both cases, I was extremely disturbed and embarrassed. Like there was something forbidden about liking the things that I liked.

My existence was very conflicted and difficult at the time. It still is, but in a different kind of way.

I don't really have anything in common with Jeremy Witt, but if there's something, it's that we are two people that don't really have a name.

The biggest mistake of the modern a(nti)theist movement is the idea that faith and religion automatically lead to bad things. That they poison everything. Usually, religion doesn't lead to bad things, it only serves as an excuse for bad things. When you're about to do the wrong thing, you have to find a justification. That justification can be religion, but it can be science just as well. It can be anything; if we need an excuse, we can always find one. Religion, science, nature, money, tradition, all these things can be used to make it psychologically easier to hurt someone else.

Being vegan in 2014 is like being gay some decades ago. The culture around you thinks that you care too much, love too much; you love someone who should not be loved, at least not by you, and the reaction is fear and hate.

Of course, there's a difference between being brave enough to be yourself and refusing to be oppressed, and being brave enough to stand up for others and refusing to oppress them; either way, these things definitely take some balls.

If you look at the history of humanity, few things have been feared as much as love. Fairly stupid, don't you think.
