I don't really give a shit if people "respect" my religion.

Having a religion is basically like getting a lottery ticket. Thousands of people have their own. You just go with it until the end, hoping it's a winner. There's no way of telling it's a winner until the proper time comes. If you shove it in someone's face and proclaim it's a winner before said time comes, they're going to think you're an asshole.

This is why I keep my religion to myself.
