To start, you can ask me anything. I'm 15, I turn 16 this Christmas. I really enjoy school. English is my favorite subject. I'm a sophomore. History, Geometry, German, French, and Gym are a few of my favorites really. I want to go to major in psychology and minor in journalism or interior design. I want to go to the summer gov school program this summer for either Russian or Psychology. I love to read and write poetry. I play soccer, football, volleyball, and skateboard, and I'm on the debate team and dodgeball team for my school. I love nature, just being outside, taking hikes, etc. I love stars and moonlight. Moonlight is incredibly romantic and stars and magical. I also love music. I play the alto saxophone and the guitar. I love animals. My favorite animal is the fox, but my favorite pet is Emmy, my beloved dog. I love movies, especially horror films. Saw, the Ring, Donny Darko, etc. My favorite movie is Alice in Wonderland (even though I am 15). My favorite bands are Wakefield and Lucky Boys Confusion. Broken is a great song. Skyler is my best friend in the entire world. He's the only one I can relate to on the subject of relationship prudency. He's a senior at my school and he's on the same level as me. I have more guys friends than girl friends because I feel more comfortable with guys than girls. There is too much drama with girls. Most of my girlfriends have what I call "zero bullshit tolerance" or what you might call a "bitchy attitude". Frankly, they just tell it like it is whether you like it or not. I love them all dearly. I'm a very independent person and I deal very well under pressure. I hate people pressuring me to do things. I stand up for what I believe in and don't let people hold me back. I am my own person and don't change for anyone.

I was looking through a few questions on religion (Not a darn clue why, I just was) and I was reading a question about a girl who wanted to become Buddist.
An answer she recieved made me a little upset. This person that answered kept saying how she was choosing the wrong religion and that being Buddist is wrong.
I've noticed things like this before, strong Christians (yes, it is mostly Christians) criticizing other religions. They will rant on and on about how it's the wrong religion.
What is so wrong with believing in Buddah? Why do you have to criticize people who do not believe in God? We have the right to choose our religion and the right to choose no religion at all.
Why do you believe that your religion is the only "right" religion? This has been bothering me for a while.
I really don't want any Christians on this site to feel that I am directing this ONLY at you. But what I've seen on this site about 90% of the people criticizing people for their religion are strong Christians. So, I'm just basing my question on the majority.
I'm sorry if this question has offended anyone. (link)

There is no one "right" religion. Most people, and there will always be people like this, think that their religion is the only right religion and if you aren't their religion their god(s) will come down from heaven and smite you. I, myself am Christo-Wiccan which means I believe that there is only one God but I also believe in magic. Sure, it's changed people's views of me, but it's what I believe. People should know that if it's what you believe you shouldn't care what others think of you and you shouldn't let it stop you from doing what you want to do. There is nothing wrong with Atheism, being Agnostic, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, etc. Religious tolerance is just as important as racial tolerance. That's almost like saying "you're wrong because you're black/white/indian/asian/european/etc" and we all know that's wrong. You can't help what you believe.
