On a political note
I was reading something on the FA forums about religion.
and someone made the comment along the lines of "I know people NEED god, they need the guidance and support that they cant get themselves"
and i was offended. this is such a condescending statement, that people NEED a god to tell them to be moral or get them through hard times, i like to think peope are much better capable of taking care of themselves and making choices with out the idea of someone watching over them and then i went..
"Ooooooh... wait...i get it." and now i get where some of the republican and libertarian ideas come from. and where the base of some of it stems from. now my own views havent really changed, and i dont fall on any party line for politics anyway. i dont agree with any party really. I think some of them have good ideas, but not that any single party or ideology has all the answers.
But i thought id note that little bit of... oh it doesnt hit you til it hits you. That i say the same thing of religion as some conservatives etc, say of social programs.
not that thats the whole picture, or factor or reality of it but i found that an interesting part of my day.
