A short time ago, I held back making a post in which I was going to thank god. I was going to thank god for not existing, or existing and failing to ever show one shred of evidence that it existed or gave a damn about anything good. I was going to thank this non-existence for making me strong enough to take control of my own damn life and fix the things that need fixing alone, since they weren't there. I held back that smartass post.

Well, today I'm in work and I'm processing the removal of someone who was severely injured in a rollover in an SUV. They are uber uber xtian, and all their correspondence is littered with xtian quotes etc. She thanx god for the two big miracles in her life - getting her job in USDA, and surviving this awful accident. Huh? How about "Fuck you god for giving me this shitty job in a slaughterhouse, the inability to strive for more, and then shredding my body in a 1-car accident without even having the decency to allow me to die an instant painless death?" How about "Take me into your kingdom, biatch, coz I mofo earned it already!" The perspective is just hilarious. I mean I can see it either way, but it seems a more negative situation than a positive one.

Curiosity question - how were you first introduced to Christianity? Was it your parents religion, and something that they brought you into? Was it a forced sunday activity for you through your childhood? Was it introduced to you through a friend? Was it a activity that you did with your family that you actually enjoyed spending time with them?

Just going along the vein of how something is introduced to someone has a great impact on how they view it later - and whether they rebel against it when the achieve freedom from their parents.

I for one am glad that religion wasn't forced upon me, I'm also glad I've been introduced to a fair number of religions - and that I've chosen that I'm more concerned with a way of life and how I deal with other people. I'll spare you my Catholicism rant - but if you're interested I'll pull up the URL for my journal entry on it.

Wierd. The response to this post appears above it.
