Sheeple

I believe that taken on a sociological and sociatal level people are nothing but sheep. They feel the need to follow. Unfortunately, the one thing that seems to bind them is organized religion. Be they Jew, Christian, Hindu or whatever, people feel a need to belong and organized religion seems to be their poison of choice. I wish people could think for themselves and have the personal strength to stand up for their convictions. It's a sad treatise on the world when murderers and rapists are the only people strong enough to stand on their own and do what they believe in without the fear of being judged.

I do not follow any organized religion. I have my own beliefs that have served me well. I don't believe that any one person can tell me what I can and cannot do with my life. I cite persons such as Jim Baker and Jerry Falwell as prime examples of the folly of following the words of ONE person. You that cannot or willnot think for your self have only these false prophets to look to. Both have been disgraced as they fell to their baser natures. They are nothing but hypocrites as are any so called religious leader. No one person can tell you how to live your life, only you can make those decisions.

As a human being, I live by the tenets of the people that have influenced me. Remember, Christ was a man, albeit a man with good ideas, but a man none the less. I feel no need to have a group of out of touch, secular retards, tell me what I can and cannot do. Christianity was formed over 2000 years and has been bastardized by people. Humans with riduculous notions of how we should live. Remember that.

Love, Compassion and Trust are all I need to get me through life. Money is a means to an end and not an end in and of itself. I know that good things will come to me if I live a good life, I've dealt with adversity, but at it's worst, life has shown me incredible beauty and love. I cherish the friends I've made and I love my family and I can't think of anything more fullfilling. I'm blessed that I've had the experiences that I've had. Each and every one of them has taught me something about life and about myself. I've learned a great deal about how to live my life as a better person and for that I am grateful.

Stories from whatever bible you may read are nothing but that, stories. They may have some historical truth, but at the end of the day they are nothing but morality tales. All designed to give you some direction as to how to live as a better person. It's up to you to filter out the bullshit LAWS and whatnot and take away the base ideas that can make us all better human beings, because no matter color your skin is and no matter what name you call your god, we are all in this together.
