Don't Panic

Yep. why should you panic when you realise that one of my favourite books is going to be made into a movie and its gonna come out very soon...the hitchikers guide to the galaxy- rocks. I am so glad i own the entire set (thank to you bear)...I'm re-reading it again. The saddest thing is that i can't stay up the whole night reading, although i would love to...cuz i keep falling asleep.


Some words of wisdom, thanks to the bear again...


From school i take a bus home...
From there, i switch over to my magic carpet


If there were no children...would there be any fairy tales.


Why are fairy tales only for children. Are adults so hard headed that they don't believe in them anymore. Shame on you people who have stopped believing. When you think about it, a lot things we take for granted could be put into the fairy tale category. Like religion or GOD. Shit, this is such a deep subject. I am not even sure of what i feel about it. I know that i really respect my religion and want to learn more abt it. That is not as easy as it sounds. But the more i learn, the more i am amazed by it. That is how religion should be. Not somethin thatyou by heart or something that is force fed into your brain from childhood.


I feel weird blindly following things without understanding much about it. Maybe thats why i'm not holy in the holy sense of the word. But its what you believe that matters right? Not how you believe. I mean just cuz you don't pray, doesnt mean you don't believe in a GOD. Read Terry Pratchetts' Small Gods for more details on GODs and belief.

What is really frustrating is when people force religion onto you. You HAVE to do this, have to go to church or mosque, eat with your head covered, pray 5 times a day, avoid eating any shell fish cuz they don't have scales on them (???), don't go out at night, associate with bad people etc. etc. Religion is used as an excuse to enforce punishment and martial law in the house.

So what can you do about it. Fight it, go with the flow, protest silently, become a priest or hermit and search for answers seated on the top of some cold, bleak mountain? What can you do when a religion is beaten into you, or the bleeding holy inquisition is after you. Why the F can't we be left alone with our beliefs, thoughts, lives etc. It really silly when you think about it from say...an aliens point of view. Fighting over something thats really only in peoples mind)...or on the walls or up as statues.) But what to do...bite the bullet and suffer.

Is it religion that must guide your choices, or is it what you belive to be right. that means that right and religion sound like the same thing. So in other words by we are believing in religion, we are believing in what is right, surrounded by a lot or tradition and mumbo jumbo. Hmmm...try telling that to mum.

Should religion be peoples choice. I don't know. I probably think not, cuz then most people would abuse it (not that they don't already do it). But probably the way its practised should be individual choice. Then again maybe not...(i'm turning out to be a bad prophet aren't i).

But i do know and believe that every body needs a religion of somesort. Because what a religion of anysort gives you is something to believe in. Humans in general need something to believe in. Otherwise who can they blame when things go right or wrong, when they cannot find the answers to the great questions of life, the universe and everything? (GOD is beginning to sound like a scape goat...he sometimes is)
