It's a few days after 9/11 and I got to thinking about what kind of people (and I use that term loosely) would kill innocent people. (Okay, they were evil sociopathic religious nutcases worshiping an evil god. There, I said it.) Then I thought about why I liked America, despite its many flaws. And it boils down to freedom.
So here's my 13 reasons I'm proud to be an American Infidel.
1. We can choose what religion to believe without the government telling us.
2. Or not have a religion. And that's okay.
3. Our religiious leaders don't promote killing people in the name of their god.
4. Our women can be heads of Fortune 500 companies, CEO's, politicians, lawyers, or doctors.
5. Or they can be housewives. Whatever they want to aspire to.
6. Our girls get to go to school.
7. Our laws aren't based on 2000 year old fairy tales, but rather on common sense. (Even the stuff in our laws that's based on fairy tales is just common sense. Really.)
8. It doesn't matter who you sleep with, you're still an American. If you're gay/lesbian, we wont kill you for that.
9. I can watch The Andy Griffith Show or The Sopranos. Or both.
10. We can make TV shows like Andy Griffith or the Sopranos.
11. I get to shave. (I look horrible with a beard.)
12. I can write this post.
13. Bacon. Especially Canadian Bacon/Pineapple pizza. mmmmmm....
(This post is not an affront to Muslims. It's about those radical Muslims who want to kill people who don't believe what they believe.)
