Ok guys... Deep topic today; religion! I thought it might be an interesting thing to hear some of your thoughts on it.

Religion for me has never really been a part of my life, I mean my family celebrates Christian holidays like Christmas and easter but those were always just the great days once a year when a fat bearded man wearing a red suit would come into our house and give us presents or a gigantic rabbit would leave candy filled eggs in our backyard; it never really carried any religious connotations.

My dad used to go to a catholic school when he was very young and he hated it; he said the nuns were nothing short of evil. It was perfectly normal for the nuns to hit kids with rulers and once one he had even been dragged out into the hallway by his hair for something very minor which I can't recall at the moment.

When he was growing up religion split his family apart; His mom went to one church, his dad another, and his sister became a Mormon, and they all thought they were right. My dad went to many different churches throughout his life and now he doesn't go to any. He told me he doesn't think he should have to give money to a man and go into a special building every Sunday to believe in god.

My mom wanted to get me baptized as a baby, but my dad refused. I guess he felt that I should be able to make my own choices. He never tried to instill any of his religious viewpoints, or not instill them for that matter. Today I am grateful for that.

I honestly look at all religions as the same. People try so hard to try and understand why we're here that they make up their own ideas and convey them as the truth until thousands of years pass and there's so much mystery shrouding these ideas that they're eventually seen as the truth by millions.

I mean think about it... We're on a giant round rock floating through an infinite black space; I think it's just human nature to try and find an explanation for why and for how. I sort of envy people who can undoubtedly follow a religion because it gives their life a clear purpose, but I don't think I will never be able to accept religion into my life because I'm just too skeptical.

A large majority of my friends are religious and I could care less what they choose to believe as long as they're a good person.

I'm sure there's a lot more I want to say about this topic but It's getting late and I'm tired. So what are your thoughts on religon? any interesting stories or ideas you'd like to put out?

Oh yeah and If I see comments with people trying to tell each other that their ideas are wrong I'm gonna ban yo ass from my blog
