WELL, TO BE SO INSPIRED BY SOUTH PARK TO REMIND ME OF SOMETHING TO WRITE ABOUT, HERE GOES. THE EPISODE OF SOUTH PARK TODAY WAS ABOUT THE "PASSION OF CHRIST" I HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE. CAN'T REALLY SAY THAT I ENJOYED IT, BUT A GREAT WAY FOR SOMEONE TO STIR THE OPINIONS AND BELIEFS OF OTHERS, AND TO RAKE IN THE DOUGH. CAN'T BLAME 'OL BLUE EYES MEL GIBSON' FOR IT! TOTAL GENIUS. KUDOS.
ANYHOO, I WAS NOT REALLY BROUGHT UP TO BE RELIGIOUS, BUT WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD BELIEVE. MY GRAMMA AND GREAT GRAMMA ARE BOTH RELIGIOUS, MY MOM....WELL, I THINK SHE WAS FORCED THEREFORE DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT. I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO ANYWHERE ON SUNDAYS TO SAVE OR CLEANSE MY SOUL, UP UNTIL ALMOST A YEAR AGO, DID I NOT GIVE A HOOT. AT THAT TIME I DID KINDA BELIEVE, I COULDN'T TELL YOU WHAT THE BIBLE SAID OR WAS MEANT OR ANYTHING! STILL CAN'T. OH WELL. THEN I GOT TO THINKING, WHY DO I "BELIEVE?" THERE SEEMS TO BE LIKE NO PROOF, LIKE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE DUDE WAS HERE, AND ALL THE MAGICAL PASSIONATE THINGS THAT GO WITH IT. GOD???? OK, WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THAT? I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE A MYTHICAL DUDE WHO HAS NO FORM, DECIDED THE MUD-BALL PLANET WE CALL EARTH NEEDS TO BE DOMINATED WITH SILLY TYPES OF LIFE.I ASKED SOMEONE ABOUT THIS, AND THEY REPLIED THAT GOD MADE THE EARTH AND SUCH. IF SO, WHY THE HELL DID HE MAKE DINOSAURS, MOSQUITOS, SPIDERS, AND STUPID STUFF? THE BIG BANG THEORY WORKS MORE FOR ME.I MEAN, SCIENTIFICALLY, WE CAN PRETTY MUCH FIGURE OUT HOW LIFE BEGINS, EVOULTIONIZE, SOLAR SYSTEMS, PLANETS, ETC. KINDA LIKE HOW WOULD GOD BE A HUMAN, OR A SPIRITUAL ESSENCE? BY CHANCE COULD HE HAVE BEEN A CRO-MAGNON MAN IF THAT EVOULUTION OF HUMAN CAME FIRST? ANOTHER BIG QUESTION IS ALMOST LIKE, OF ALL THE RELIGIONS KNOWN TO MAN, HOW ARE THERE SO MANY TYPES OF RELIGIONS, AND FOR OTHERS, THEIR "GOD" IS SOMEONE ELSE IN MIND?
WHAT IS THE TRUE RELIGION? WHY ARE THERE MORMONS? NOT TRYING TO PUT THEM DOWN, BUT SEEMS TOO MODERN. TOO MANY QUESTIONS AND POSSIBILITIES, BUT IF PEOPLE BELIEVE IN GOING TO A HEAVEN, ARE THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVING IN THE RIGHT SENSE OF DIRECTION AS FAR AS TYPES OF RELIGION, PRACTICING RELIGION AND DISCIPLINE, ETC? I KNOW IT MUST MAKE PEOPLE FEEL BETTER KNOWING IF THEY FOLLOW OR DO THINGS THAT ANCIENT PEOPLE SAY, THEN THE SOUL GOES TO A BETTER PLACE. OH HOW NICE! IF YOU DON'T DO IT THEIR WAY, THEN DUDE, GO TO HELL! BUH-BYE!KINDA LIKE OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM.TO ME, IT SEEMS A BIT FISHY. BUT OUR FAMILIES TELL US FROM THE GET GO THIS WHAT WE'D BETTER DO AND LEARN. BACK IN 1300'S-1700'S IF YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THE RIGHT WAY, YOU DIE! SUCKS TO BE YOU TO HAVE AN OPINION OR ASK PROOF OR REASON. TO ME IT ALMOST MAKES SENSE,GET THE COOL DUDES WHO CAN READ AND WRITE, AND ARE PRETTY GOOD WITH THE PUBLIC AND CAN COMMUNICATE WELL, HAVE THEM WRITE UP SOME STUFF THAT SEEMS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE WORLD TO BE PERSUADED TO BE GOOD CITIZENS TO EACH OTHER FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, ACT LIKE THEY KNOW THE DUDE WHO SAVED THEIR SOULS AND WAS CRUCIFIED HORRIBLY FOR YOUR SHIT YOU COMMIT OR ABOUT TO DO AND HERE COMES THE EVER-LOVIN' GUILT TRIP OF ONE MAN WHO SUFFERED SO MUCH FOR YOU. STOP. DROP, AND ROLL. BEG FOR MERCY ON YOUR SOUL.
JUST HOW DO WE KNOW IT'S REAL? JUST 'CUZ IT'S WRITTEN, DOESN'T MEAN TOO MUCH. PEOPLE CAN READ AND WRITE IN THAT ERA ARE LIKE ROYALTY...BASICALLY, BETTER THAN YOU! BOW DOWN! THIS IS ONLY MY THEORY. MAYBE I DON'T KNOW BETTER, BUT SHOW ME! LIKE THE END OF THE WORLD WAS GONNA HAPPEN IN 2000...Y2K ETC. DOES GOD OR JESUS COME AROUND TO CHECK SHIT OUT EVERY 2000 YEARS LIKE A GROUNDHOG? IF THEY SEE A SHADOW, IS IT ANOTHER 2000 YEARS OF GUILT? I ALMOST GO BACK TO THINKING OF THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG? IF THE EGG HATCHED, HOW DID IT HATCH IF IT WASN'T INCUBATED BY THE MOTHER HEN? HOW WAS IT FED, AND KEPT ALIVE, TO MATE, KNOW WHAT A PREDATOR IS ETC? SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE CONFLICT IN THE WORLD. LOOK AT THE MIDDLE EAST, OK TO SUICIDE BOMB YOURSELF FOR YOUR BELIEFS OF DIFFERENT KINDS, WHETHER IT BE RELIGIOUS OR POLITICAL, WHO'S TO SAY WHO IS RIGHT? WHO'S BETTER? CATHOLICS/CHRISTIANS? BLAH BLAH BLAH! THE WORLD WILL NEVER KNOW. (ALMOST LIKE THE TOOTSIE POP)
