Recently I heard something while watching an episode of Eureka7. The title was: DIfferentia. During an emotional outburst from Renton he said the following: "There is no such thing as an eternal life. If you destroy a human being then he will never come back. That's why, that's why everything, everything is over when someone dies".
This is an extremely important contradiction to what the church has told us since we were born. I have strong beliefs in the topics of life and religion but will not force them upon anyone. That's why they are my beliefs and not others. You may believe in what Renton said and you may not, but I say go for it. Just do me the favor and not try to change my mind by forcing your beliefs onto me. We are all different and the world would be too weird if we weren't. Keep on the path and enjoy yourself.
It saddens me when I hear, or see, somebody doing something to someone because they had different beliefs than theirs. It is not too surprising to find such a controversial topic in anime, but to just have a character spout what Renton did and then just go on as if nothing happened is refreshing. I wish the world could go on without having something bad, or hurtful, happen as a result of one persons' opiinion.
