The magazine subscription beg-a-thon

A couple of weeks ago, I received two letters in the mail, one from each of my two young nephews asking me to 'support our school' and sign up for magazine subscriptions. I tossed them in the trash. Two days ago, I received copies of the information again and AGAIN I tossed them in the trash.

I have subscriptions to four publications: Vanity Fair, The Advocate, National Geographic and PC World. I read them every once in a while, mostly while, "indisposed." Ahem, cough. I'm very behind in my reading of these magazines because well, I work full time and I spend most of my free time in front of my laptop reading weblogs. The point is, I don't need more magazines and I certainly don't need magazines that are going to benefit a "Christian School" in the Deep South. Uhm, hellz no.

I am finding that as I get older, I am becoming less and less tolerant of the followers of religion, even when they are in my own family. Elton John is right, as far as I am concerned, and we *should* ban all religions because their followers truly *are* hateful lemmings.

I have found, in my experience and truth, that most followers of Religion are arrogant, hateful people who are going to get a good dose of reality when my favorite line in the Bible is shown to be true: "The meek shall inherit the Earth."
