Is there a God?
Current mood: contemplative

I have really studied this, because I have always been desperate for an answer. Does God exist? What is God, and what’s with this whole religion thing?

Since I started my journey to finding peace with God and such, I learned so much about ancient civilizations. Some which I never even knew existed! What was most shocking to me, was how every religion that has ever existed on this earth can be linked to one another. We have taken old rituals from religions previous to Christianity and made it part of our church rituals. It’s absurd to me how anyone can look at the bible and see it as anything other than what it is….a book man wrote because he was SO desperate to find the answer to the meaning of life.  For one religion to claim it is THE religion is almost laughable. All of our religions are nothing but a collection of stories and ancient rituals of the past.

Is there a God? I personally believe there is. I believe in good and evil, and I am on the good side. ; ) I have a hard time believing that God would expect me to believe a bunch of ancient ramblings. This is 2008. Unlike the people who wrote the bible, we know the world is round, what gravity is, that dinosaurs once ruled our planet, etc etc. The utter lack of education of people that long ago is what pushes me away from “The Book”. That, and the fact that a bunch of primative men wrote it. ; ) Sorry boys, but I have never experienced you guys being able to get deep and in tune with your feelings. I can’t imagine what men were like in the days of people just slaughtering each other! If a girl wrote the bible, I might buy into it more…but that is just me.

Scientology is one of the most joked about religions today. Scary enough, not too long ago Christianity was seen the same way. If a belief system is around long enough, we might just forget all those cracks in it’s foundation. I predict that by the year 2300, we will be a planet of Scientology…yes, this is my attempt at humor!

Did Jesus live? Sure he did! There seems to be enough evidence to point out that he was around. However, I find it an insult to my intelligence that “God” would assume we would just all believe in stories that we have NO EVIDENCE of. So, here I am not believing in organized religion, yet still entertaining the idea that there is more out there. I have had some personal experiences that let me know that I am not alone in this world, and that there is so much more than this. However, I never had a feeling that people who are GOOD and do not believe in Jesus will go to hell. I also do not believe all my gays will be going to hell. I don’t even think I believe in a Hell!

So, perhaps all these religions and their message of goodness have one thing right, to be good. What is good? I think most of us feel when we are doing something…not so good. What is the payoff? I couldn’t tell you. I will never claim to know. I just know that whatever lies outside of this world, no one understands. Not one person can come here and claim “I really have the answer!” you all know you don’t. I believe in faith, but I do not believe in making myself look like a fool because of it. When my husband goes to vegas, I have faith he wont cheat. I cannot have faith in something that there is no proof of it’s existence.  I can understand how some people can emerse themselves in organized religion to give themselves peace of mind. Heck, that is why men wrote the bible to begin with! I just can’t wrap up my time in something like that. I appreciate church, I think it is beautiful, I just don’t know.

So there, years later and I am no closer to any answer except that organized religion is basically a stew of crap. the fact that some old dudes in the church picked what texts even made the bible is enough for me to walk away. Did GOD tell them which ones to throw out? Please, you boys think you know how EVERYTHING goes! ; )

Are people going to jump all over my ass for asking these questions? Most likely. I don’t care though. I think this is a very real subject for a lot of people. I think Church going people are fine…Go to your temple and worship! It’s just not my bag. I have a really good feeling that “God” is a hell of a lot cooler than we make “it” out to be.

WHY so Serious? Well, it is believed Morgan fell asleep at the wheel and fglipped his car 6 or 7 times before having to be extracted from it by the fire department and air lifted to a hospital

From MSNBC-Academy Award winning actor Morgan Freeman was seriously injured in a car accident in Mississippi on Sunday night according to the Mississippi Highway Patrol.

Police report that Freeman, 71, was driving eastbound on Highway 32 near the town of Ruleville, Miss., around 11:30 p.m. when his car left the road and flipped several times.

Police say Freeman and a female passenger had to be extracted from the vehicle and the actor was flown to Regional Medical Center in Memphis, Tenn., where he was listed in serious condition. There was no word on the condition of the passenger.

Morgan Freeman is one of my all time favorite actors. I have him loisted under my movie section on my main page. Lets send some positive energy, vibes, and prayers his way.

We all know one. People befriend others on myspace that they don’t like. Why? Why on earth would someone friend a person that they don’t like? Hate can turn into an obsession of sorts. The person that hates the other will read their blogs, look at their pictures, and keep tabs on someone they claim to not like. They spend their time and effort on something they claim they would never waste a minute on. It makes next to no sense for people who have LIVES and better things to do, but it is fascinating none the less.

Are you reading this and feeling stupid because you have a few people on your friend list you claim to not like? Do you mull over Tila Tequila’s page plotting how you will take her out? Do you despise Brooke Hogan, yet find yourself looking over the newest set of pictures she has posted? Do you think Jenna Jameson is a slut, but read every blog and bulletin she posts? It is easy for any sane human being to see that only jealousy and being a nutcase fuels this kind of behavior.

Out of the 160,000+ friends I have, I am sure at least 3,000, if not more, are douchebags that do not like me, yet waste their lives updating themselves on my every move. If you are reading this right now and hate me, do yourself and the world a favor..delete me! What kind of pathetic life must one have to obsess over the words and actions of someone they don’t like? I couldn’t imagine researching some broad I don’t care for, being their myspace buddy, or even reading one article on em. I have much better things to do in my life…maybe one day, these freaks will too.

What do you guys think about this phenomenon? Does this also carry over into tv? Do people watch shows with someone they hate in it, why?

Yep, I have watched very single week, and I have also spent some of my time calliing in votes. I LOVE to watch people dance. It’s sad, because a few dancers have been ousted before their time (Will, Kherington) and the season finale is next week. I wont have anything to look forward to on the tube!

I am pulling for Josh and Twitch. These guys have major rythem, soul, passion, you name it, they got it! I like the women too, but these guys have showed that extra “it” factor. I am going to have to vote for them both equally.

Are you guys watching So You Think You Can dance? Who are you pulling for?

edited note: I think I want Josh to win, he is MAD talented

Yep, I’m going there. My last blog brought up quite the abortion debate. I myself am pro-choice. There are thousands of babies that people dont want, get abused, and turn out to be the scum of the earth when they grow up. Why should we add to that? I personally believe that until the central nervous system develops, it is NOT killing a baby. It doesn’t even look like a baby by then. Just an alien blob! I am lucky because I have never, nor will I ever be faced with the desicion of abortion (unless I am raped). However, just because I personally would never make that decision for myself, who am I or anyone else to tell another what they should do? I do cringe at the thought of a more developed fetus getting the ax…but from personal experience, i don’t remember anything about the womb or my birth. in fact, I don’t remember anything till I was 3 or 4!

I personally like McCain’s view on things. He doesn’t believe in birth control to keep women from wanting abortions. However, he does believe in keeping cocks hard everywhere to produce more children people dont want!

I know everyone loves to jump up on their high horse and claim that their opinion is the correct one. That is NOT what I am looking for. Are you pro-choice or pro-life, and why? Discuss

PS- Are Pro-Lifers willing to see Mother’s kill themselves AND their babies doing abortions at home if we make abortions illegal?

Obama or McCain?

Yep, I went there. I want to know who you guys are voting for! I am NOT going to tolerate people bashing each other, or calling Obama a terrorrist, etc.

As most of you know, I am voting for Obama. I am not a fan of republican views (look where it’s got us now!) and am ready for a democrat in office. Sure, I will lose money out of it, because voting republican would probably HELP my pocket book, but voting for Obama helps my family, who are a bunch of blue collar badasses.

I was shocked at how republicans have been spinning Obama’s visit overseas. He gets slammed for giving a speech, but franky, we spent 8 years not caring what other countries thought, and we are certainly in the hole because of it. the next president of the United states will be a WORLD leader, so I am glad Obama cares about making the WORLD like him…and us!

McCain for me is just too damn old. He would be great as the head of defense.

thats how I feel, and note, I didn’t bash McCain. Lets see if you guys can state your opinions and play nice at the same time
