heres the whole facebook convo:
The Dude (TD): Youre profile says youre Protestant, I was just wondering if that was a joke or if you're serious
Me: I'm serious man
TD: But I was under the impression you were an anarchist, at least thats what you say. However, as an anarchist that would mean you believe in no gods, no masters. How can you be free if you are still bowing to the most jealous, violent, and hateful fascist of them all? Unless of course, you are a poser.
In case you don't pay attention to any of the music you listen to, it is prodominantly anti-religious, (NOFX, Dead Kennedys, and Sex Pistols are 3 that stood out to me on your profile as odd.) But then, you say you listen to Bad Religion, which as hinted by the name, is very antitheism. I really hope you don't actually listen to them and just put it on there to be 'punk,' because if you listen to Bad Religion and are a God-fearing person yourself, you are not only a poser, but most likely one of the most ignorant people I've ever encountered.
How can you wish for peace when you worship the topmost breaker thereof? Religion has been the cause of the majority of bloodshed and oppression throughout human history. From the Crusades, whose trumoil the Middle East is still reeling from, to the Inquisition of the 14th century, one of the darkest periods in history and a fascist police state rival to, if not worse than Nazi Germany, to the attacks on America on 9/11, and the always ongoing conflicts around the world in places such as Israel, Pakistan, Sudan, Northern Ireland, Bosnia, etc.
Just want to know why you consider yourself an anarchist.

NOTE: I also just noticed you actually have "You Will Lose Faith" by NOFX listed under your favorite quotes... there is no way you are that dumb. Did you read the lyrics before you posted them? Because if you do believe in God, you are now going to Hell for that song as you have committed the one and only unforgivable sin in the Bible.
Me: You make a really good argument, and I see where your coming from ,and I have to tell you I actualy gave up the anarchist thing some time ago. I like BR because they are a good band, I like they're sound . I listen to punk because it's good music. I love being a diy person and try to help out bands get their music out. But when it comes to all that stuff of religion and those bands being "against christ" I could care less bro. I got atheist freinds and they've accepted me. No matter how much NOFX talks about hateing god and christians I will consider them as my favorite band always. I will take down the you will lose faith lyrics to relieve situations such as this , you seem to be a bigger punk rocker then I will always be and I(no matter how much of an ignorant person you think I'll be) respect that. and to be honest Derek I am christian I do worship jesus but I'm not one of those people who push it on people like "go to church every sunday" or "read the bible as often as you can" I've done alot more bad things in my life that could send me to hell then posting song lyrics about a song asking about where is your god. I hate the presiden't I hate the government, and you teaching me the real meening of the word anarchist I will not take the word for granted. You are a really wise person, you can call me a poser whatever I hear it all the time, but I won't let it bring me down, fuck I got called ignorant today by somebody. so I've heard that before. I wish you a good day. and I listen to prpagandhi too and I know they hate god too koz of the song Hallie Sallasies up your ass!
