The Religious Pull
Ok, Autumn has just officially started today! it's like 18 degrees and it's not even suppposed to be that cold, not in March!!! Sitting in bible class wearing a pink wolly jumper has made me realised one thing, summer is over... and now i remember why i hated winter so much. isn't it funny, when the weather is hot you wish it was cold, and when the weather is cold you wish it was hot. why can't we just be happy with the weather dammnit! the same goes with life, we always want something different to what we have. Why can't we all just be happy? wouldn't the world be such a pretty place if we were all happy and content? We can even have a bon-fire on the beach, wear flowers on our head, skip around in a circle while reciting poetry? La Li La, Li La Li La...
Finally worked up the courage to ask a few questions that's been bothering me in bible class today and got a few answers that i was content with and some that i wasn't. Not intending to be controversial or anything and am a 100% believer, but it still seems that sometimes people can be so blinded their religion that they fail to see something objectively. Fellow classmate asked today if the muslims worshipped the same god allah as we do our father since the koran mentions Abraham and is a sort of derivative of christianity, and the resounding answer was "no, ofcourse not, our god don't tell us to fight and kill people"... definately had trouble keeping my mouth shut right then and there... felt the overwhelming need to tell her that no god in any religion, would tell his disciples to kill, raid, shed blood in their name, if that was the case then they won't be the god. further still, i won't mention how many wars catholics or christians have started in god's name through out history...
My point is that even though you're a christian, and believe all other religions to be b***shit, a little respect will never go astray, afterall, doesn't christianity teach us compassion, sympathy, love and acceptance?...... hmm.... ranting on, please please people (if you disagree), don't be offended by these non-chatalant thoughts. just me going off on a little tangent. =)

respect is not something that is exclusive to any religion or belief. the respect of others is something fundamental in having decency in any individual.
i think the bigger issue here is not about repect tho, but more "how about you shut up when you're an uneducated ill-informed drone".
i think Gods the BEST!!!
