This one is deep...

Have you ever wondered "why did this have to happen to me?" Or "Why do other it better then me?" "Does God really think I'm stronger, so there for I'm poor?" "Is there really a 'true' religion?" Growing up in the Mormon church, I was taught that it was the real, true church, and all others had bits and pieces, but not the whole pie. Many religions are similar to this, I was told by a Jehovah's Witness, at the age of 8, that I was going to hell for being a Mormon. Well there is one church that says you should explore other religions, and that's the Catholics. Maybe they are the real deal?

Ok, in saying all this above, I'm not by any means saying that the Book of Mormon is a bunch of bull shit, Jews must die, and that Quanza isn't a real holiday, but I am saying that I don't think you should have to follow a bunch of "rules" to achieve enternal glory. I'm not saying go out and cheat on your spouse, or kill that co-worker (we all have one), But, if you want to have a cup of coffee, I think you should have that right. Or smoke a cigerette (though I don't recommend that) sure, induldge in glass of wine or throw back a couple cold ones while watching the game? Sure, why not.

Now with that you might say.. "But what about laws?" Laws are ment to keep order. I don't think 10 yr olds should be drinking whiskey. Or 5 yr olds driving. You have to be resonable there. But you should be able to make life choice, without having to be punished in a religious sense. I believe in god, yes. But, I'm going to live my life the way I want and let him decide if I've lead a good life or bad life. I don't think it's right to judge people either. A great man once said, "Only God can judge me" That man was Tupac, and I'm reffering to his song, yes. A great song it is, and a great man he was. He called himself Machiavelli da Don some times, reffering to Niccolo Machiavelli, the Italian philospher. He also wrote plays, and was a diplomate, but he was more known for is Ideas on the way of life, and how things should be to sustain a perfect living enviornment. Similar to the rightings of Locke. I won't plunge into that, cuz I could go on and on, but if you have the chance, look him up.

Now on to more useless bits of things to think about.. Like the fact if you want world peace? We gotta find peace, and end the war in the streets. To have peace, you must have war. So.. You might be thinking "Build more jails?" Yes, and push harder to keep those who have done wrong locked up. It's too easy in todays world to get out of jail once you have been put in. I'm not talking about those who have been drunk driving for the first time, or those who smashed up a few mailboxes cuz they were stupid teenagers. I'm talking about those who are a fifth time voilent offender, or have been busted for drugs for the second time, not third. To keep things clean, you have to shorten the leash.

So now you think I'm pretty crazy, can't make up my mind and am all over, but everything I have said is true, and something big to think about. So on another note, the Vikings beat the Eagles, yay. And now I'm off.
