What are you waiting for?
one thing that i have learned is that religion is bad. i believe religion, organized religion, was created as a method of control, with its rules and regulations set up to keep the masses loyal and in order a couple of millenia ago. yes it is outdated, but it is still in effect now, as it was back then. call it god, allah, ishtar or whatever the basic text has always been the same; be nice and support your local government.
o.k., but, how 'bout this? what if god does not exist? what if we are just a chance conglomeration ofatoms and molecules in the primordeal ooze? kind of makes those new nike's and tonites hockey game a bit less important doesn't it? it shouldn't. you are still alive and kicking none-the-less, so why give all your spare change to a group of people that make you sing stupid songs, eat stale crackers and drink cheap non-alchoholic wine, just so that they can yell at you,, call you a sinner, tell you your soul is going to burn in hell, and not have to pay taxes! hmmm? who made them judge and jury over everyone?
walt whitman said it best,, i'm not sure how accurate this is, but: life exists in identity, the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. well, the bible is full of verses, covering everything from why killing is bad, why killing is good, and why it was o.k. for lot's daughters to get him drunk and have sex with him. (look it up: genesis 19:30-38 those sick little monkeys!!!)
actually it is all up to interpretation, and there are so many different ways to interpret it. and they do, at great length. but,all in all the bible has to be the worst written book in history, next to war and peace. a little more confusing, but not quite as boring.
this is why the middle east has been killing each other for the past two thousand years, though, and why i'm woke up at 10am on saturday mornings (i work 3rd shift!) by jahovah's witnesses trying to tell me my life is useless unless i spend my time bringing people to jahovah!
but it gave me an idea.
support your local kinko's or local print shop! make up a booklet or pamphlet explaining your beliefs, be it scientology, satanism, atheism, bondage and dicipline, whatever. go to their houses at 3am and spend a half hour or so bringing them into the fold of your chosen lifestyle. it might be fun, but realistically i don't think they would get the hint.
i could rave on and on about the subject of religion but i think it a good time to move on. so...
