Religion of Your Choice

Are you a religious person?

Dictionary.com says Religion is:

A set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

In light of the new announcement of by James E. McGreevey and his ambition to switch religions from the Catholic religion to the Episcopal religion. We have to ask the question, what is religion and does it really mean anything? Saying that you are a religious means absolutely nothing. It means about as much as saying I wake up every morning and brush my teeth. When it comes down to it I honestly do not care how many times you do anything for your religion or your god. To often in today's society people go shopping for a religion like its a new car. Its like "The Matrix" they just say "ya god I'll take a religion that allows me to be gay, have lots of sex and do drugs" and their fake god (that they have created within their mind and their religion) says "sure why not, we'll have the price for you at the next window". Then they go to church and say their stuff and they think their god is sitting up in heaven saying "well he prayed today and he went to seminary school so lets give him some points for that" when that is a totally egregious thought process and is just that a thought process or in other words man made.

This is not the real God that they are after. They want something that will allow them to do what they want to do. I'm just glad that when Jesus was about to be crucified he didn't switch religions because he didn't want to sacrifice himself. In every religion you have to sacrifice something you can't have life both way's.

Some good lyrics on this subject: The Ataris

I'm not trying to say I have the answer
All I know for sure is that we weren't put here
To serve ourselves, that's so selfish
To think that we're put on this earth just for pleasure
I know that there's much more than that.

But I won't tell you what it is; it's up to you
To decide for yourself what is wrong and what is right
And know that we all make mistakes, there's always time
To turn your life around and change
All the wrong decisions that you've made.
