All right. I first want to make it clear that this is by no means intended to offend anyone, thank-you. Secondly, I decided to post my beliefs about relgion because most of my blogs thus far have been nothing more than a summary of events, and all in all my life is boring, and there is another reason why I decided religion which I will get to later in my blog.
Or right now. So the other night I'm in Toronto at a friends house and I got seriously and violently sick, and looking back on it now here is what I did to cope with my illness that night:
Vommitted;
repeatedly said "I want to die, just let me die, I want to die just let me die.";
wept like a pathetic child;
traced the head-crotch-shoulder-shoulder crucfix along myself many many times.
And although I'm not Catholic by any stretch of meaning(nor is my family, unless you include Ron, my father, but I don't consider him family.), but whenever I find myself in a tight, stressful or by any means unbearable situation I trace the crosses. Sometimes once (ie there is a never-ending line-up of cars at drive-thru) sometimes repeatidly (the other night).
I do this because its a simple enough movement to do at any given time, and it also uses enough thinking to take your brain away from the moment for a second. I find it really centers me and its makes me feel like everything will be all right and that it will be ok. (Perhaps the feeling is even holy.)
All right, that was a lot of writing for a little bit of info so the rest will be written very quickly. I feel that religion was initially made so people can have a sense of community and a reason to do the right thing.
But with religions with very oposing views kinda ruined that idea.
Personally I believe in what I qwant to call agnostic/divine intent????? I really need to learn the proper name but I believe something had to create everything and I ponder what there couldve possibly been before nothing, what nothing is truly is etc. But then my head hurts because I'm not very smart. I also believe in the big bang and evolution etc. So basically in my belief everybody wins :D
Here are some random QuotationxThoughts I've come up with about religion:
And as it turned out our heavenly father was nothing more than a dead beat dad.
What the fuck are the other animal's doing outside the garden of eden? (eff bomb thrown in because it makes the statment a lot more fun)
Why do people dedicate their entire lives trying to get on a cloud?
And finally. If I were to join a religion I would want to join Bokonism but, it isn't a real religion. Its from a fictional book. Here is some info about it. "The holy scripture of Bokononism was the ever-growing 'Books of Bokonon', written by Bokonon -- a British Episcopalian Negro from the island of Tobago whose real name was Lionel Boyd Johnson [ 48 ] -- as a way to distract the people of San Lorenzo from their pitiful lives. What is sacred to Bokononists? Not God; just one thing: man. [ 94 ]"
Bokonism accepts that religion (including itself) is just a lie and it teaches that the purpose of life is to find a purpose.
Anyways I've droned on for far too long enough. Umm basically any info you could possibly (but won't) want on Bokonism can be found on the site you go to when you click bokonism, or wikipedia, or to see Bokonism in action read Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle. Seriously, do it now.
PS: Finished Johnny Got his Gun and have started Third Rate Superheroes.
PPS: Next blog I'm put something I've written but I can't decide on what. Haha, not like it matters. <3
Ciao.
