On day 3 of the A/c being out I woke up in yet another wonderful mood. I wouldn't mind if I was just outside because there would be a breeze, but being in here is like being stuck in a sardine can of humidity and no wind. It reminds me of the swamps back at home in Florida, sticky and gross.
Moving on because I'm sure you all are not interested in my bad attitude towards my apartment right now. But it's Sunday, as most of my friends and family consider it a day to worship their God of choice. Seeing as I believe in none of it I will not participate but at the same time I have no interest in judging. My science isn't completely proven correct as their books are not complete proven as false. My rule of thumb is do as you wish but please, leave me out of it I hold no interest and I'm sorry it upsets you but it's how I feel and being a good person you should respect that.
If you look around however you will notice that there is honestly a holy war of religions taking place in this world. I find this sad, I don't see why some think its not o.k. to believe in what you want. You won't see me going around screaming at the religious, "You need to read a science book!" it's unnecessary, rude and disrespectful. I have however been known when provoked to provide a decent debate.
But more to the point I have an issue with faiths being blasted on Facebook, you know the one's "This person will die if you don't like to pray for them!". I have studied up on many religions but my largest fascination is Christianity. The most boisterous in America. I know the book quiet well, and its messages. At one point in the bible, it says if you have the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains. I think that's universal, if you have enough faith in yourself you can change the world for the better. I just don't think that 1 like = a prayer. If you take your religion seriously you don't post something like this, you sit down with your prayer list and pray. In other religions the focus of your spiritual energy goes into your prayers and it pushed to the person you are focusing on. Asking your God for money and fame is not what he wants in my opinion, its just like asking for toys on Christmas from Santa, it shows greed.
We are all given time of great pain, struggle and hardships it's part of the human experience. We learn from these times grown from them, pray for help as we work through them. Your faith shouldn't be based on a post, and when that post is shaming someone for not sharing it, you're doing the opposite of what you were taught.
Yes you were told to spread the good word, but not force it on others. You are not the one to judge another your God is, you have no right to pick on those who don't share the same religions as you.
In my opinion, these shares are a disrespect to yourself, your religion and your God. It makes you look bad, and in certain cases offends others. Spread the word by all means you can teach others to do right and be good, but understand this if someone says they aren't interested don't hound them... pray for them. This is what your faith is about, being good to others not sharing a picture of a kid dying that requires a like.
Truly understand that we are all human and when this life end you may go where ever your religious book entails for all we know every religion is correct. There maybe several heavens for several people, I don't see how that can't be true when there are many universes and paradox universes.
Don't quabble over the details of your books, pray for each other for that is what your Gods truly want. Peace amongst the different people who wear different cloths.
Facebook is not the place to ask for prayer, your house of the holy is. So please stop with the shares and the like requirements, I know you have a prayer list somewhere you use. Ask your church members and join your prayer list, because faith in numbers to the people up stairs that's what matters. Don't degrade your religion by posting something moronic on facebook and expect other to receive the good word, teach other by talking to them praying with them and being there for them in during their trials and tribulations.
That's all I got, that and I hatteeeee Facebook on Sundays. It's football season someone load up the scores!!!!!
This is the shit I'm talking about.... Let me quote one of these posts(below).
