Religion & the Backlash that will come with it (17 August 2015)

Now before everyone goes crazy this is not a debate and it’s not a criticism it is merely an opinion, a personal opinion at that.  When it comes to religion in MY eyes there is no right or wrong.

After years of being brought up within a mixed religion family, attended two different types of churches and grew up in mixed schools I had the holy bible drilled into me.  Not at home though, religion wasn’t strict in our house but my parents no longer go to church but they believe in their own way at home.

Now, coming from the country I come from the religious divide is infamous, sadly. Now the two different religions here are pretty much, in my eyes, the same but unfortunately a book of faith that was supposed to bring people together managed to do the exact opposite. 

There is always the mass debate of religion dividing us or brining us together, I would have to agree with the first point.  All I see, especially these days, is how it it’s tearing our world apart when it should be bringing us together.

I myself used to be a believer when I was young, it’s what I was told by all the adults around me (just like they told me Santa was real and I will never forgive them for that lie) so who was I to question my authority figure?  My education included the teachings of the holy bible.  As I grew and read bits and pieces of other religions I came to the conclusion that if I was to believe in one book why on earth should I not believe in the others?

This is when I started to doubt to whole God concept.  Now before you get on your high horse remember I said this is my opinion.  If I was to be open minded enough to believe in one, why shouldn’t I believe in others?  I know there is the bit in the bible about false gods etc but there was also the death penalty for cheating wives and fathers killing sons etc.

So after a lot of thought I just gave up on the whole idea.  I’m no religion what so ever now.  I believe what I see, if a God presents themselves to me who am I to deny it then?  For those who are believers they always tell me I’m going to hell, that’s ok to say that cos I don’t believe in hell so you work away with your threats (surely it is a sin to threaten someone with eternal damnation anyway).

Like I said, in my eyes there is no right or wrong religion, there are only the assholes that ruin it for everyone for an excuse for violence, bigotry and war!

I respect everyone’s opinion on religion cos no one on this earth has a right to tell someone that their beliefs are wrong! .........except those who constantly judge you with passages out of the bible telling you that you are living you life wrong according to the book......but when you happen to find something they are doing incorrectly according to the book well then they bend that rule by saying that everyone has their own interpretation of it.   People have a natural instinct to bend rules the way they see fit.

I will probably get a lot of backlash for this but you know what? go ahead, I don't care.  My thoughts are my own just like yours are.  You can tell me I'm wrong but to me I'm not so it wont matter.

Crazy Mobility Scooters, Head Invaded by Songs and Kids

16th July 2015

10.19am

Listening to a conversation in work about a TV programme that was on last night.  Appparently mobility scooters do a "dangerous" speed of 8mph HAHA.  I think this is going to be a long day.

11.32am

Doing impressions of Churchill the dog to pass time, I don't care who you are that shit is funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZToP48Mrp8

2.20pm

A song has been going round and round in my head for two days now, its really doing my head in.  That song, but I don't know who sings it "You think your cooler than me" or something like that.  It was out a few years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqWq_48LxWQ

I have also realised I'm 19 pages through my notebook and if anyone is still reading this then well done, I thought you would have given up by page 2.

There is no structure to this story, there will be no big main even, your just reading this cos your nosey (not in a bad way).  I have no interesting life, I just like to keep note of little daily things that happen, odd things that people say, crazy thoughts and random shit.  When else will you get to see that your not the only one who thinks about randomness all day??

4.10pm

50 minutes until home time!

I have been sitting here for the past two hours thinking about how cold it is in this office.  Its the middle of July FFS!!  I want to put a coat on but I'm stubbonly fighting the urge for the fact its July.

Also, I lifted weights last night for the first time in months and my legs are feeling it every time I get up.  The feeling of walking like John Wayne has been lingering all day.

Last but not least, I have a new song in my head "Kickstart My Heart" by Motley Crue    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNlT5I8R3ZU...well I did until I just remembered that this was a NEW song and I have now remembers the I have ANOTHER annoing song in my head before! GRRRRRRRRR

4.35pm

The mass debate about children has begun (this is a regular occurance).  I mentioned that a friend of mine was due at the end of this month with her first child and she is in her late 30's.

Now I'm in my early 30's and don't have any kids, don't have any urges for them yet and may never.  The debate was that she was a bit old to be starting and she would be too tired to look after the kid, should have had it earlier blah blah. This is always a sore point for some people.  I see it like she has lived her life to the full and done all the things she wanted, now she wants a child to complete the motherhood needs she has now.  Nothing wrong with that, maybe that's what will happen to me or maybe I will just have a house full of dogs :)

9.21pm

Sitting here typing this all out and now that me caught up.  The dog is lying at my feet passed out so now I'm gonna call it a day.
