Writer's Block: Church & State

Sep 28, 2008 11:18

     
     People complain that the problem is with church encroaching upon state, but I think that is far from the truth. My opinion is that state is beginning to impede on the freedoms of religion and that state is forcing us to abandon our religious rights. There are several examples of this, and the most prominent is prayer in schools. If ( Read more... )

Ha ha, yeah, I know. A friend sent me a link to the Westboro site one time saying, "Look at these crazies." When I opened it up I thought to myself, "Hoo boy...this isn't really going to reflect kindly on the rest of us, will it?" :D

You know what? You actually seem like a pretty cool person. I really didn't mean to offend anybody when I posted that blog earlier. Just please know that I didn't mean to show any disrespect to anybody or to you. Those were just my thoughts and my opinions and I could have phrased them better. To your credit, when I clarified some points on what I meant you were quick to understand or apologize for any misconception. I guess what I'm saying is I am sorry for any offense and for some of the very rude things I said earlier. Please know that I only said some of those things because I lost my head.

I do have atheist friends and I keep them as my friends for a good reason. Although we have our disagreements, I still know they are good people and that they are honest in their convictions. I'm starting to sound like some syrupy Saturday morning cartoon, so I'll wrap it up.

I was totally against global warming and the belief in it, but now I wonder sometimes if I had been on the wrong side of it. I hope that I have enough honesty within me to acknowledge the truth of something if it is presented to me in such a way that I cannot deny it.

You bring up good points for my questions. I know that it can be unfair sometimes to demand so much evidence. I also admit that even if you managed to make a freakin' TIME MACHINE and showed the process to people first-hand there would STILL be people out there who would refuse it. XD It's just human nature to be stubborn sometimes. I may not still agree with you completely, but you did get me looking up stuff and got me thinking and that is always a good thing.

Another thing about the bacteria is I wonder if we are making ourselves weaker as well since we use antibiotics to fight our diseases instead of exercising what we have. Having all this anti-bacterial stuff probably isn't doing us that much good either. That's why I love the idea of vaccines.

Anyways, final thought: a person who can quote "Futurama" at the drop of a hat and who knows what "Okami" is couldn't possibly be a bad person. lolz XD

Take care.

"Don't worry men! Nobody would willingly make an idiot out of themselves!"

"Evidently, you've never been in love!"
