As I sat in church Sunday (yes church), I couldn't help think bad thoughts about religion in general. I have tried to spin the readings into good lessons about life without bringing a god into it, but Sunday I just couldn't. It was one of the passages that explains a lot about why we have religious wars. Judge 2.23 or something like that, about crushing the altars of the non-believing and how god always finds a way to forgive and save.
The crushing thing bothered me, but it doesn't surprise me. Our pastor tried to eak by the crushing of the altars, but he had to mention it. It was like he knew that seemed a little off, but he had to mention it because God said it, therefore it must be important.
What really bothered me was that God always finds a way to save us. I just don't believe it, I mean why do we have to give credit to an almighty being for saving us? Why can't we come to grips with our ability as humans to overcome adversity through our intellect and continue to survive? The bible cracks me up, and the way our pastor interprets it. I mean, it was like when I saw the first new Star Wars, they were amazing at foreshadowing the Star Wars. You know why? Because they had already been written, anybody can foreshadow events that have already happened.
Also, at the end he banged it into us that we couldn't blame God for our lives or our mistakes? WTF! I don't think I ever even considered that, just like salvation comes from within, if you don't think those mistakes are your own doing, then you have more problems than a God can fix.
Going straight to hell, glad Fuego will be there.
