I know what you're thinking when you see that title. Here he goes again. Another rant blasting the faithful for believing something.

Perhaps in part. Really, I'm blasting one faithful. Normally I try not to narrow it down so much, but this one is running for president, so I think he's earned a little bit of time in my spotlight.

Mitt Romney. He's got a problem with his campaign. His problem is that he's Mormon, and he's having some trouble from Christians who don't really seem to appreciate his religious choice. He avoid the subject as much as possible and does his very best to temporize the issue of his faith. Makes sense.

Normally, I wouldn't take issue with it. It's between him and the people that have a problem with his faith. That is, until he decided to take a swipe at me And those like me.

Yeah, I don't like that shit. So, Mr Romney, henceforth now as Shitball, is getting some of my literary wrath. What did Shitball say? Couple things. He started out saying that he wanted to protect all faiths from the rise of the religion of secularism.

The phrase religion of secularism is so uniquely moronic that just by using it, he ensures that I will never vote for him. You can't have a religion of secularism. The words don't make sense.

Secular: 'not pertaining to or connected with religion'

There is no fucking way to have a religion of it. The only purpose of using that phrase is to turn the secular movement in the country up to the level of a religious rival.

OK, I see what he's going for. Unite the faithful against the atheists in the spirit of the 'Attack on Christmas'. I get it. But really, do you want a president who's goal is to funnel the rage of the majority away from him and toward a minority? That's so fucked up I have trouble seeing how Shitball got this far.

But he's not done yet. No no. Shitball is too fucking stupid to let it pass at that. Honestly, this is the part that really pissed me off.

Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom. Freedom opens the windows of the soul so that man can discover his most profound beliefs and commune with God. Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone.

Mother fucking Shitball. I'm sorry, but seriously, what kind of a jackass is he? I mean... Shitball. Seriously. Do you have a fucking clue about things before you open your mouth? Ever? I mean, he's wrong. He's so fucking wrong, I'm having trouble finding out where to start in on him.

Shitball, freedom doesn't not require religion. I can be perfectly free and not need to acknowledge another mother fucking thing in my life. No divinity, no deity, no miracles. Even if I'm wrong and God smites me down, I will still have lived a free life. I'm free and I'm not religious. So fuck you Shitball. Secondly, religion doesn't require freedom. In fact, religion does pretty damn well without it. Even Christianity, a very free religion, is built around a concept of choosing to surrender that freedom to live by God's code. Beyond that, I offer the up the Taliban. They offered absolutely no freedom, and had an amazingly high amount of religious followers. Taken further, look into the Spanish Inquisition. Religion requires no freedom, nor does freedom require religion. They're not even remotely symbiotic. Freedom and religious flourish just well apart as they do together. They might even do better seperate.

So fuck you Shitball. I hope every single Christian smacks you down and tells you that they could never trust someone like you. I hope you're forced to defend your thoughts and religious views in every single debate and interview from now until the primary. And I hope the faithful run from you in droves. Then I hope you sit back and reflect on how it feels to be thrown under the bus for religious views. Fuck you Shitball. Fuck you.
