So I had a few more readers than the day before. Thank you so much for the feedback, positive or negative. What amazes me is the fact that some people act like they are above reading a blog and act like I am less of a person because I have opinions beyond the reaches of their intelligence. O well as long as there is at least one person reading every day I will keep writing.
So yesterday I wrote about sports and it was brought to my attention that I didn’t talk about one of my biggest topics of discussion over the last few weeks…BALL STATE. Besides it being a possible college choice of mine, the football team is abnormally talented this year….let me put this to rest once and for all…THEY HAVE NOT PLAYED A GOOD TEAM. Every team they have played has had some sort of direction or adjective in front of the state name. MARK MY WORDS: They will face a ranked team in a bowl, and get killed, by more than 2 touchdowns.
Ok so today I am writing about something that I think everyone has a view on it male or female, contrary from yesterday’s entry. Today I am going to talk about the other thing you are not to talk about at the dinner table: RELIGION.
First off let me give you a bit of a background about myself. I used to be an atheist. This are the questions that used to perplex my mind enough to doubt religion so much that I made a person cry, while ripping into them about religion. My biggest question was what is the difference? Let me explain, there are countless religions in the world and even more denominations of those religions. Which on is true, which one is more factual? All of them have members that are “100%” certain that their religion is the right one. What makes yours any different? It was like a cave that branches off in to a thousand different tunnels at different point and only one of them has a pot of gold at the end you have to find the right one, even though all of the tunnels have signs leading you to the goal, only one set of signs is the right path. To me the chance of one of these modern day religions being true was astronomical. I thought than religion was based on a series of myths that have been misconstrued over that past 2000 years. I also thought of the fact that religion itself is completely illogical. Most people who are religious call themselves logical human beings, they would say they make logical decisions, but how can you make the argument that going to a big building with a bunch of other people and drink what they think is the blood of a dead man, not just a dead man but a man who died 2000 years ago….
Ok so I don’t think it’s a secret but I am a bit ashamed of how I used to act. I don’t believe in any of those thoughts anymore. I have a made a complete 180. I now think that religion is inevitable, society must have religion or society itself will fail. Although most wars in the world is a result of, not political difference but religious difference. This is something that scares me. How can someone be so passionate about something they would die for it. To what extent will people go for religion… (this is rather ironic and I am taking it as a sign from god, but as I was writing this HOPE, by jack Johnson came on)
So my point is I now go to a Pentecostal church and rarely miss a service. I have been into my faith for only about 6 months and will have the new testament of the bible finished by new years and I will have read the bible in its entirety by my one year religion anniversary which is June 17. This is astounding for someone who 6 months ago was “100%” sure that there was no more to life than what we see.
Faith is defined by Webster as: Firm belief in something for which there is no proof….I want you to give this some thought. Isn’t there proof for Christianity, If you go to church are you a Christian only on Sunday, If you don’t go to church what do you do instead, how firm is your belief, If the rapture happened today where would you go, is religion worth it, is not having religion worth it, of all these answers HOW SURE ARE YOU???
Thanks again for reading, If you took the time to read take the time to tell me what you think.

"you don't always have to hold your head higher than your heart"
Religion. The past six months for you have definitely been life-altering. I am glad that you are now making decisions that benefit you. For me, the past six months have brought nothing but pain. Even the one thing that took that pain away walked out. It's really hard to trust in a superior being that will "ease my sorrows" that has let a million awful things happen. It's not like I haven't tried either, because I have.
But job well done sir.
Lets face the facts keirsh: the only reason that you ever converted to Christianity is because some one either scared the shit out of you into believing that there is a god and you became so scared of the prospect that you are going to go to hell that you decided to rank up with your bible or that you were full of shit from the beginning and you only said that you were an atheist to be cool, but once you realized what claiming that there is no god to Christians meant, you decided to take up on the good lord. but what strikes me as interesting is how someone can go from being completely atheist to a person who carries around a bible in his back pocket at school. and now that you have taken up religion you have turned to a conservative view on matters and somehow it makes you feel special to make fun of people who actually stick by their views even though they are different from yours at this given moment. its weird how during the election you went from being a god hating liberal to a god fearing republican. does that not seem like bullshit to you? were all of your values just bullshit and you just said what you thought was cool? i think thats how it is, but now on your quest to separate yourself you have turned yourself into this bible banging douche bag that no body in their right mind has a single ounce of respect for. no body takes you seriously anymore. its like everything you ever stood for was bullshit, i mean aren't your values what your suppose to hold dearest to you and be unchangeable regardless of the current situation, but your values seem to change on the notice of a whim. your the kid that nobody can stand. no body wants to listen to your conservative close minded bull shit or your beliefs. so why don't you shut down this blog or don't talk about things that you really have no idea about, cause like always your full of bullshit and run your mouth about things that your close minded mind can not grasp. stop trying to be what you think everybody wants you to be. i would at least still have some respect for you then.
