so today is ash wednesday and i went out to dinner and ate Chili's Baby Back ribs. :o wait.. no eating meat on ash wednesday right? lol.
anyway! let me share a story about ash wednesday, because my doubt for religion was born one fateful ash wednesday some years ago. it was probably around 6 or 5 years ago, we were at church on ash wednesday and the father started satying some sermon about how everyother religion on earth was made up by and practiced by hypocrits and even went so far as to name a few religions and why so. i was livid after that sermon to say the least. and i made up my mind that day that i didnt want to belong to an association who damned people for being homosexual, or jewish, or buddist or anything! grr! i told my mom and she 'bout slapped me and we started going to church more. and i have honestly liek tried to ge in tune with Jesus and God and the Catholic church, but i just dont feel it. if i ever commit to a religion it would be to buddhism or something of the sort where it isnt realy so mucha religion as a way of thinking and seeing the world. <3
but whats funny is that when im around my christian friends or talking to someone down on their luck i always say things like "God bless" and "God will help you" and stuff because i know just how important beliefs in a religion can be to get people through hard times and give hope. <3
oh religion! you sily, yet important thing you!

wow ariana! i know exactly how you feel. the catholic religion is very hypocrital. it irritates the piss out of me at times. i don't go to church anymore. but that doesn't mean that i dont believe in God any less than the next person. the only reason i set goals for myself during Lent is because it gives me a reason to accomplish something. 40 days and nights is nothing.
ReplyDeletei really liked this blog!! i know just how you feel!!
enough said. Buddhism makes more sense anyway. Being a part of everything, as opposed to believing a mystical wizard made everything in 7 days and currently resides in another dimension, watching everything I do. If he made the world, and he is perfect, wouldn't his creation be perfect too?
