Day 19 → What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?

The age old debates. Politics and religion. These are the two things I do not discuss in large groups or in public places. It's simply never worth the battle that ensues. Not everyone will agree no matter what, so here's my take on them.

Religion. It's something I was raised around. I went to a small Catholic school for 9 years. We had daily religion classes. I was actively involved in my church youth group for 11 years. I was the Youth Minister for a while. I believe what I believe, and it's not exactly what the church teaches. Everyone has their own spin on religion. Some people think its a crock and something not worth wasting your time on. Some people are so strongly religious I think that they give the word cult new meaning. Born again Christians scare the bejesus outta me. Mormons confuse me. Polygamy is a concept I understand but don't quite follow. Catholicism is constantly under fire. Muslims are persecuted because of extremists. Jews are still harping on the Holocost - which may I add killed hundreds of thousands of non Jewish Polocks too. No religion is the right religion, and no book is gonna give you all the answers. I believe in God. I know he exists. I know that someday I'll see him. Religion is up to every individual to figure out.

Politics. I loathe politics. It's a matter of who's willing to suck the most dick to get to the top. I'm not a Republican at all. I could never be conservative. I'm not a Democrat. I lean much more on towards the Liberal side of things. I will NEVER understand Politics. It's all a crock. This one pays that one and this one knows that one and hence their rise to the top. I won't ever understand how politics have any say in abortion. I'll never understand why they try to stop Stem cell research - which could cure thousands of diseases! I'll never understand so much of it. It's a big game, with a lot of players, and unfortunately only the bad guys ever win.
