Religion, the 10 commandments, and God's Gifts

So, Ramadan begins and Muslims everywhere start fasting and what not. Today, at work, En Yee, Brian and myself almost closed the dishroom in record time. Almost? Yup, because guess what, a bunch of 'people' come in and demand food to break fast. My first reaction is, Ok, first day of fasting, so fine. There were 14 in all, consisting of 2 girls and 2 guys, and another group of 10 guys. The smaller group just ate and left, the girls smiling apologetically at us waiting for them. However, the group of 10 guys, had a whole celebration, absolutely refusing to leave, and totally not guilty about it. As they were leaving (finally), one of them came to me and said, "Don't blame me, it's my religion." All I can say is, WHAT THE HELL?! Therefore, I decided to state this loud and clear, Religion is just a guide of how to live your life, not THE way of life. It is not the absolute way to live your life, and it God damned well is not an excuse for being a jackass. Now, to make this clear, I'm not pissed at the fact that you had to fast and need to eat, I'm pissed at the fact that you act as if it is your right to make others wait on you, then use your religion as an excuse for doing it.

In fact, religion is not an excuse for anything. This is something that a lot of people have to get through their thick thick thick skulls.



These are the 10 commandments God gave to humanity. As a Christian, I'm as liberal as they come. In fact, I'm almost too liberal. A lot of friends have asked me to go to church and stuff, but I just can't get myself to go to a place that I am uncomfortable with. I just can't. This is probably because of the image some of these so-called 'faithful' ones portray. I have heard so many outrageous comments made by too many people, that I have lost faith. Not faith in God, mind you, but faith in the people that believe in Him.

One of the greatest and probably the most important gifts God has given us is the ability to think. This gift was meant for us to understand some of the things He teaches us. And one of these lessons I have learnt was Independence. There is nowhere in the Bible where it says that we have to always depend on him for everything we do in life. If it was so then we should be praying whenever we go to the bathroom to give us the strength to crap out whatever it is that you people crap out nowadays. Which is why I can think for myself, not have others do that for me.

Once a friend told me that it was a sin to not pray out loud. Bollocks. How is it a sin not to pray out loud? Another issue was the whole Da Vinci Code issue. Well, to all those 'Christians' out there who say that the book is anti-Christ, here's news for you. It's FICTION. Some elements were true, but most of those that were allegedly anti-Christ, are not, or have not and cannot be proven to be fact. Hell, many things in the Bible cannot be proven. So stop all the whining and just live your sad little lives.

Another time, a friend in CF once told me that God will one day test me, test my faith. Well, I will state here and now. There is nothing in this world that will make me lose faith in God. That is because the one thing that will cause me to lose any faith in him have lost any kind of credibility in this world, Christians. It is and never was set in stone about how we should worship him, or what games we can't play, or what shows we can't watch. So stop telling people that the bible says that communion will heal you, or any other bullshit that you heard of some 'prophet', or what I like to call, People With Nothing Better To Do With Their Time. Actually, if you listen to these people, then I guess you fall under that category too...

mmmm.... Root Beer...

Since the drinking age here is 21, I've been drinking a lot of Root Beer, not even Pepsi!! It's so impressive I had to post it.

Anyways, my life here is so boring I have nothing to blog about. Just letting you people know that I'm alive...
