Is that really how it’s supposed to be?
October 17, 2007
I’ve always had an interest in Religions. I find other views on life and death and such interesting. I was brought up in a Christian household (mother Lutheran, father Roman Catholic). It was never forced upon me to go to church and go through Sunday school, confirmation and such. Since I’m a curious person I would go and listen to what the Pastor said. I found it interesting. I studied religions on my own and in school. While I have many opinions about all religions, there’s one thing that constantly annoys me about Christianity. It’s the dictation of who gets into heaven and who doesn’t.
Now I’m the type of person who stops to talk to those who preach in the streets. If someone comes to my door, and wants to talk about their views, I listen. I want to know their opinion. I want to see what they’re thinking. I ask many questions-of which I generally know the answer, or have heard it before. I will ask the same question fifty times just to see what all fifty people say and how many views were different. When I talk to many Christians they always ask me, if I believe I’m going to heaven. I haven’t made up my mind on the subject(or even decided if heaven is something I believe in) and will sometimes state so. However, I usually answer back with a question of my own; what dictates my entrance into heaven? The answer I receive…”if you believe in Jesus Christ as your savior, then you will get into heave.” Then I will ask if that is the only way. Of course they say yes. Now that gets me thinking. Christianity is not the largest religion in the world. There’s a lot of good people who don’t believe in Jesus. Does that mean they are all going to hell?
For many Christians, the answer to that question is yes. This is where I go astray. So I can go my whole life, not believing in Jesus Christ, and as long as before I die I accept Christ all my sins will be forgiven and I will get into heaven. Well then if I kill twenty people brutally, go to prison, sit on death row and then just before I die I accept Jesus Christ into my last bit of life I will go to heaven. I understand it would be a little deeper than it may sound. Yet, I can live my whole life doing great things for people, living life to it’s fullest, be loving and caring , be Muslim. Sounds great doesn’t it. I have everything going for myself, except for the “unfortunate” fact that I’m Muslim. Now according to the majority of Christians I can’t get into heaven. The only reason, my personal religious beliefs. I don’t think that’s right. Isn’t that a bit judgmental for a religion that is supposed to be all loving and accepting. How is it we can say who gets into heaven based on such simplistic ideas in belief systems? According to Christians God loves everyone for who they are. He[or she]isn’t much of a figure if they are judging only on whether you believe and trust in Jesus. Judging you based on religion is no different than being racist or sexist. If that’s what Christianity is about, then I’m willing to take my chances elsewhere.

Woman, make me a sandwich!!!
October 16, 2007
Hmmmm things that are funny: clowns(sometimes), stupid people(all the time), people fighting on the internet. However, of all the things I find funny-and I can find humor in pretty much everything- I do not find that particular phrase(see title) funny. In fact I find any man who says anything remotely like “get in the kitchen where you belong” or ” make me a sandwich woman” to be really fucking annoying; as well as an ignorant asshole. You’re not funny and no one but your asshole friends are laughing. Seriously, I do NOT want to go in the kitchen and make you a fucking sandwich. Get your fat ass up and make your own damn sandwich you lazy bastard. And I say fat with conviction, cause chances are(if your reading this in America) you are indeed fat. If you happen to be one of the select few who aren’t fat, and you find that “joke” to be funny, then you are one of those “mans man” and you are an ignorant asshole. To all the women out there, don’t take that shit. Stand your ground and make that fucker make his own damn sandwich.
“Hey, man, get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich you fucking pussy.”
see it’s not funny
Cancer?
October 16, 2007
I’ve been quite busy lately and neglecting my new found reasoning against boredom. Now that I have a found a few moments in my wonderful day, let’s get this party started.
Cancer?
Just a moment ago I was watching my local news program and a story on cancer research came on. It discussed that cancer deaths are declining and cure research is behind this decrease. Now I don’t smoke, I don’t chew, I don’t do drugs, and I don’t roll around in asbestos. Since I don’t do these things, then why do I have to worry? Well, it seems like every time I turn on my television, or pick up a news paper, some person somewhere has discovered another thing that causes cancer. WTF? Seriously, I can’t smell buttery popcorn or talk on my cellular phone. If I don’t want cancer I need to stick my self in a fucking bubble and sit there. And for nourishment I’ll shove an IV into my arm. Then they’ll discover that the metal in the needle and the shit my bubble is made of causes cancer. I have come to the conclusion that EVERYTHING FUCKING CAUSES CANCER. I have stopped caring. If everything I consume, touch, or even smell has the possibility to give me cancer, then I am over it. Fuck the cancer scare. If I’m going to get it, I’m going to get it. If the research has told me anything it’s not telling me how to protect myself from cancer, rather it’s telling me that if I get it I have a good chance of living. I think we should stop being told don’t eat this or don’t touch that. It’s really only making people paranoid to go on with their everyday lives.
I’m not against the research. I’m not angry at those who have it; and I wish them all well. I just find that hearing about its causes over and over again is annoying. It’s just my personal feelings on the subject.
and for the record, I do donate and support the research for a cure.
I feel that the way information is brought public should be handled in a different manner.
