Interesting Points About Religion

Okay! Now I am not going to be picking on anyone or anything.
None of that stuff.

I’m just mentioning a few things about religion that I find interesting.
People may comment and list a few more interesting points about it as well.
Keep in mind any comments offending anyone, (Not that I can talk) will be deleted.

Right!

The 1st thing that I find interesting about religion is to do with the storyline.

In the Christian storyline a Great Flood was sent by God to remove evil from the world, this brings in the story of Noah’s Ark. The man who built a giant ship and went round the entire Earth gathering 2 of every animal.

The interesting point here is that 2 of an animal would not bring back the species. There would be mutations and relatives would be mating with relatives and it would all go crazy and that beautiful deer over there would be standing there with 5 legs.
Whether the number of animals has been changed because of translation error, I wouldn’t know.

The other interesting point to do with the Great Flood is that the Chinese religious storyline also speaks of a Great Flood. Which leads to the conclusion that the Great Flood was historical event.
Whether to do with God or a natural disaster.

Now moving on.

Interesting point to do with Christmas and Easter.
We are always being told that on Christmas day, Jesus was born.
In fact he was born late November, far from the 25Th of December.
Easter is supposed to be the date of his death/rebirth. But the date of Easter changes every year.
The reason for this is due to the Romans.
During the time of the Romans there was a lot of forced beliefs and so forth, the Romans believed that Christian was the true religion. So off they went, converting countries and countries of people to Christian.
They came across a group of people they had a hard time converting. These people were Pagans.

In order to convert the Pagans the Romans had to adapt some of the Pagans traditions, Easter and Christmas. Easter is a celebration that changes according to the moon cycle.
Not the death or resurrection of Jesus.

In a way it’s made it all quite confusing.

But very interesting indeed.

If there is a God floating around,

What would he say about all this?

Hayfever! Oh Brilliant!

Hey there!

Anyone here got hayfever?
I do and it’s really becoming a real pain!
It picks the days that your sitting in a classroom, maths, humanities,
etc.
Or it picks the day that you host assembly or your cooking and end up
sneezing all over your food.

Why it’s called hayfever I’m still trying to figure out,
Because what sets it off isn’t hay, it’s pollen, dust and any other
piece of grit that can blow into my nose and cause a nuisance.
All It takes is one thing to set me off then WHAM there goes my week,
I’m cursed to sniffing, snorting, sneezing and a bunch of other words
starting with ‘s’ all week.
And I roll around at night frustrated with this itchy, blocked running
nose that keeps being completely pathetic.

And I don’t know why, but my hayfever appears to be a super evolved
evil fever that can withstand anything.

The nose sprays don’t work, the tablets don’t work every medication
doesn’t work. Brillant isn’t it.

I’ll probaly have to put up with this mongrel all night and throught
tommorow.

Yours Frustrated

Simplistic Minds.

Every day we think.

Little notes like, “What should I get for tea tonight?”

But, how would you be able to think that If you hadn’t been taught a language?
What would you think? Because, “What should I get for tea tonight?” is English, if you hadn’t been taught a language at all you wouldn’t be able to think this, but what would you think?

Does your brain have some sort of language that you understand?
Is it not a speaking voice as such, but you know what you are thinking.

Would you be like a baby, the world is just odd, you just think of eating, but you don’t think it in words.

Anyways that’s just a little starter.

Onto something else.

We consider ourselves to be pretty clever, our brains can think and take many things to concern.
It’s pretty amazing, a living conscience and thought process that is clearly unbelievable.
The brain is so amazing scientists still don’t know how it ticks. (I’d say a small clock embedded deep within the brain, lol)

But what if, our brains were simplistic.
What if our minds were the basic brains,
and somewhere out there are minds that they think entirely differently,
so different that we can even think of how different they could be.

Wait, who’s reading this and thinking.
“Not another alien believing freak, aliens aren’t real.”
Well first off, if you believe in God and so forth you should shut your mouth, I respect your beliefs so why criticize someone elses beliefs.
Secondly, they found bacteria on Mars, which, I’ll break it to you is a living organism, which is not on Earth, thereby making it an ALIEN. So there.

Besides, I find the thought of another form out in space, with billions and billions of planets and systems out there a lot more possible then a great force that exists everywhere and is not affected by time itself.

You tell me which sounds more like a fiction novel.
I’ve just broken the ‘respect’ I mentioned earlier, but the talk continues.

There could very well be another race that thinks differently to us.
They could think in an entirely different way, they could have telepathy, ESP,
Or Psychic powers.

Some humans say they have these things,
Could we just be breaking the surface for what the human brain could be capable of?

Could our brain evolve giving us mental abilities?

Not everyone can say, “I am Psychic.”
Only a few say it.

Who knows.

Pointless Athletics!!!

Ah hu, you heard right.
I don’t understand it all, what’s the point.
Humans say we are different and the most evolved beings on the planet, really we haven’t strayed far from home. Hang on, don’t lost me, this will have something to do with Pointless Athletics!!!

Animals in the wild show off their skills to each other to determine the popularity of themself, the strongest earn the right to all the attention, all the glory. The ones that don’t have the skills get left moping around by themself because everybody thinks they are pathetic, nobody talks to them, who cares, it’s only the ‘unpopular’ one. It’s all about the Best.

Humans are the same, no matter how much teachers can fill us up with this ‘everybody’s a winner’ crap and the ‘participation points’ we are no different to animals.
The kids that win all the races, the kids that win the shotput, triple jump, long jump. They all get seen and noticed and are popular. The kids that don’t get left out like the pathetic trash everyone thinks they are. It’s Rubbish.

And with the ‘Everybody’s a winner’ crap and ‘It doesn’t matter who wins or loses.”
Firstly! You tell the “It doesn’t matter who wins or loses,” saying to a gambler that has lost his house and all of his money because of losing. Does it work? No.
Everybody’s a winner aye? I don’t see them handing out 1st place medals to everybody, and along with that the, “It doesn’t matter who wins or loses,” well if that’s the case then why do they bother with medals, ribbons, certificates. Why bother even placing the people in the competition with 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Why? Imperfect.

Simple competition to Some. A chance for acceptance to Another.

And the Points that you earn so that your house can win at the end of the year. WHO CARES.
Why do people get so worked up about it, I watch people cheering for there team to win. So what, it’s a team. I don’t get people standing there carrying on.
Never have, never will. Never.

At the end of the year the name of the winning team is engraved on a piece of metal. Who cares. A piece of metal with a word written on it and some man saying, “Green team wins,” and suddenly everybody in the Green team stands up and cheers. Neither.

I so don’t get the point of the team house thing that I can’t even put it into words. Ah.

It makes no sense and is completely pointless! To you, if you are sports crazy and what-not you probably think its great! None the less. I can’t see the incredibly amazing thing that you all like so much. So THERE!

I‘ll Be back later to rave about something else.
Keep thinking those thoughts.

Sheiver me timbers!

Okay thats not like me . . . I was sailing the open seas.
Until! In the deep see I saw 7 pieces of 8.

I think I’ll stick with this.

See Ya.

A Promise

Now when you ask someone to do something for you, like not give something to someone, not to post that picture of you on MySpace. etc.
Then they say, “Okay, I won’t.”
You feel though you can trust them, they promised they wouldn’t.
But then a week later they kick it all in your face.
You find they did exactly what you asked them not to.

Now if you asked them not to do it for a reason, lets say there are people in the photo that haven’t given permission to be posted on a website, or there are people in a video that haven’t granted permission for other people to watch it.

Even with all this.

It doesn’t matter.

All that matters is you went against my word, you said, “Okay I won’t,”
Both of you did.

And yet you went against my word, thinking, ‘Its okay, he won’t know.’

Well I ask,

Would it be okay for me to post pictures of you on websites and not tell you, oh, of course, you think its okay, as long as you don’t know.

Would it be okay for you to ask me not to post a video of you on YouTube and I say okay, but then go and do it anyway.

So much for that trust.

I hope your reading. You know who you are.

And even if your not the person I’m talking about.

Learn from it.

Don’t Judge A Book By It’s Cover!!!!

So much for that saying!!!! Don’t judge a book by it’s cover . . . sigh

This is aimed at you adults out there, no don’t go searching yourself for the little red dot moving across your chest, just read.

When I was in the later years of primary school teachers and adults would smile at you when they saw you, your parents would treat you like a human being.
Then the moment you hit High School it all changes.
Your parents seem to think that your a disturbed creature that no one understands, parents move their kids away as you walk past and some teachers give you the ‘he’s just a stupid kid’ look.

Why? What is it about ‘teen’ years that disturbs all you adults, they think we have gone weird or something? I had my dad thinking I was going to commit suicide for some reason, he kept talking about 5 kids somewhere in the world killed themselves because of cyber bullying. Seriously come on, I HAVEN’T GONE LOOPY!!! I AM A HUMAN BEING LIKE YOU!!! SERIOUSLY!!!
And no, above I wasn’t talking about the Channel Ten ad . . .
(Note: Dad if your reading and you didn’t think that I was going to commit suicide then sorry, but that seriously made me think you were concerned about it.)

Now, I have reasonably long hair for a boy, not past my shoulders, but considered long.
And apparently people with longer hair are the ones that don’t give a stuff about anything, because apparently they don’t care about their appearance and getting it cut and all.
I do care about my appearance, and schoolwork and all. The whole reason I have longer hair is because it makes my appearance look better!!! And I’ve been putting off the hair cutting thing because last time I got a hair cut the hair dresser decided to go into the land of fairy tales and left me walking out of the salon looking like Peter Pan.
So don’t judge people with long hair to be careless and disturbed! I mean women have long hair! . . .Oh hang on . . . forget everything that I just said . . . people with long hair ARE careless . . .
No just kidding . . . (Sorry females who just read that . . . even if it may be true. Kidding)

Don’t judge people with long hair to be careless, don’t judge teenagers to be disturbed and in their own little world.

We are human.
