I just don't understand the concept of faith and religion. It means so many things to so many people. How do you know which one is right? I guess most would tell me that you just have to believe. I think that my conflict lies in the fact that I need and crave proof. With out proof you have nothing but faith and faith can't save you.
You probably wonder what brings this up. Well my dad has been trying to put a "healing" on my knee for some time now. You know the thing that Jesus used to do (supposedly). Well I old my parents that my knee has just been killing me and that the meds are not really working, this is how the idea came up. So I tell my dad that I DO NOT believe that this is going to work. This is were my parents tell me that only the "healer" has to believe. I still don't believe, but I let him do it because it hurts so much. Well he is all muttering under his breath and I could not understand a single word that he said. It was weird, awkward and uncomfortable. He stops and thens me to stand on it and see what changed. Nothing changed. It still hurts just as much as before. That is when he says that he will do it a different way. I am like, NO WAY. That was really weird and freaky and I am not letting you do that to me again.
I am kind of sad that my freaky religious parents have turned me away from believing anything right now but come on, if someone was talking at you all strange and you have no idea what is going on, I think that you would freak too.
Well, that is one of the crazy/scary/weird things that happened to me this weekend.
YEAH!
