"I'm waiting for your call and I'm ready to take your 666 in my heart..."
I hate livejournal. I really do, but I love being able to read other's livejournals. But I never updated and I get pissed off when people don't update so I'm updating because I'm hypocritical and never update myself but I hate when people don't update.
I finished The Da Vinci Code and let me say Dan Brown is a genius. He wove a wonderful story with fact mixed with a fictional plot. It's pure genius. And I'm so happy to read a fictional book but it makes you think. Our generation, hopefully, will be the ones to finally question religion. For so long, it seems as if religion was never question and the facts that they told us were true were never debated. Hopefully, that will change. People who tell me that this is true and believe me, usually are full of crap in my eyes. Maybe a lot of people aren't as curious as I am but to me, I have to be able to fully understand and know the meaning behind something before I can trust it. Maybe thats why I do have a hard time with the Christian faith. I would never tell people that Christians/Catholics are wrong because I understand how hurt I would be if someone told me that my faith is wrong, but I do have a very hard time accepting the Christian faith. Which probably leads me to why I don't accept it. I do have problems with people who tell others that their religion is wrong. There is no one right religion and I think older people have a harder time seeing that then us younger people do. They grew up in a primarily hard-core Christian time, it seems. Most of our grandparents, if you were to tell them that you aren't religious, they might have a coronary. I can definitely accept that, just because that was how they were raised. But I wasn't raised like that and I won't ever raise my children like that. I feel like as long as you aren't physically harming someone, then why do people critized one another? Take for example Creationism vs Evolutionism. There is a huge disagreement there. I personally believe more in Evolution, but I don't often meet someone who would yell at me for thinking like that. But you find people who yell at others because of their religion. And if you think about it, Creation and Evolution both kind of stem from your faith and religion and your opinions.
Wow, I ramble and I don't think I made much sense. But I have had a lot of time to think over it and Emily and I tend to have indept conversations, but both of us really hold the same beliefs, so it isn't like we're arguing. It's nice though because I think we both really learn from one another.
I don't think there is anything else going on right now. Steuben is coming up, yippee. Tomorrow I'm going shopping with my Gramma Linda before she leaves for Myrtle Beach, SC again. It seems like just yesterday that she came home from there. God, time flies as you get older. I think Steve told me that once and I was like "yeah right" but I can see what he means. The older you get, the quicker time seems to leave us.
Ok, my father just walked inside and yelled "Puppy Power" to my dogs. What...the...hell?
