If you could see all the irony of me typeing "jesus loves you," then it would have been amusing, as it was intended but now that someone has gone and challenged me writing that, in the tradtion of me I must defend my views. A bum told me that "Jesus Loves You," I looked at him and said "it's good to have something to believe in." To him "god/jesus/mosses/buddaha/inchinbule/panimaiah/alia/whoever" was the only person who cared about him. If him thinking that there is a "higher power," and it cares so much that it loves him, helps him to stay alive and maybe even get out of the rut he has fallen into. I was not saying that "You should be christians" Fuck that. I am not christian, that is not the issue. Not everyone is religious, I realize that. Not everyone has the same religion, very true. Don't get my startd on satan worshipers. You have to believe in the christian god to believe in satan. I know that you only wrote that to try to piss me off, it would have worked if I was a "christian"
I loath "christains" because I am sick of the ones I have spoken to, (I put it in quotes becuase I am not refering to christians as a whole but the group I have dubbed the "christians" for clarity.) Now of the ones I have spoken to, they seem to follow a trend. The push thier "beliefs" onto people without knowing what the fuck they are talking about. That pisses me off. If just one person whos tells me that something is not right because "it is against the bible" could show me where in the bible is says that then it would be a little more valid. Yes, a little more the bible does not hold much truth to people who are not christain or "sheep." It is very amusing that people admit to being sheep, there is even a children's song "I just want to be a sheep" Anyway I keep getting side tracked. Ok I was not saying to be christian or to not be. I was saying that only as a represntaion of my message. Stupid people are easily lead, christainity capitalizes on that. Since most the poeple on this board are of the above mentioned, (myself not excluded) then "christianity" is a good route for them.
I was just saying that people need something to belive in, I don't care what it is. I just want people to be happy. My goal in life now is to cheer people up. so basicly I was saying this;


Belive in something. If you don't want to worship a "god" just worship people, then deserve it more.

once again; Lighten up.

I assure you my original post was all in jest.


Yet your comment about the bum raises an interesting question. Is it acceptable for someone to trick themselves into comfort? I don't believe so. If the only thing keeping him alive is his belief in an omnipotent being that loves him, then I say get it over with. I'm alive because I enjoy living, not because I'm living my life to die and live eternally. Well fuck I don't have enough time to finish this rant as I have to get ready for work...oh well another time I suppose :].
