It seems to me that all of the worlds so called "important" issues come about during the time of our stupid elections. One in particular is on the subject of abortion. A sensitive topic I know, but it wouldn't be so damn sensitive if people would take their religion out of it. That statement though has been said for years, and I know it will never change but it's sad. It's sad to know that we as humans have taken ourselves out of the ecosystem as if it is here to serve us, it is sad that we as humans have decided to follow some supposed divine book, which wouldn't be so horrible if the people that did follow it would stop and not push their beliefs onto others. It is sad to know that we as humans have no idea how to just be, how to function with out all this bull shit. Guidelines of life and liberty. We cause wars because we are bored, we tell women that they can't abort a fetus because it's unholy or against God's best wishes, when quite frankly that's the woman's decision because it's her body. Now, there are certain situations where yes, maybe it's not a good idea. Using abortion as a means for birth control, well...if you're going to do that you need your penis cut off or you need your tubes tied. The fact of the matter is people are not educated like they should, they do not think of the consequences to their actions because they are not taught that their actions have consequences. Do whatever you want, make mistakes and learn..yeah because that's just super smart! But, that's not always a horrible way to learn, I will admit but come on people, sit your children down and tell them to keep their legs closed and their pecker in their pants. There are 7 BILLION people on this planet. That's just ridiculous! I know that we have made ourselves up to be these amazing creatures who are capable of doing amazing things, like creating the computer I'm typing this up on and yes it's awesome that we can do that, but does that mean we should? You're probably thinking well, why not what's the harm? The harm is, that we are always creating things, always making ourselves feel as if we aren't animals. Strip yourself off down to nothing but your so called "birthday suit" and guess what, your an animal. We have our basic needs but we have taken what our minds allow us to do and pushed that boundary too far. Creating and creating and throwing away this and that, to pollute our planet and NOT taking responsibility for our actions! It's sad, it's just sad.
Just a little while ago I read where they want to pass a contraception law that allows employers who offer medical benefits to ask women if they are on birth control and if they are and it's not for medical reasons they have the right to fire that women! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!! That is NONE of their damn business. If a woman say of my age, 20 almost 21 wants to be on it because I don't want to get pregnant because let's say I like to have sex (which who doesn't), I could get fired because it's not a medical reason. Wow, just bloody wow!
Oh and get this, some stupid religious woman wants other women to watch an abortion take place before they themselves have it. Okay, may I first say that in my own opinion an abortion is okay if done before the fetus actually resembles a child. When it's a clump of cells it's not a life people, it's just cells. I'm sorry but that's just how it is, because it can't think or speak Because it's a CLUMP of CELLS! Secondly, in the consideration of the woman getting the abortion you have to know why she is getting it. If it's due to lack of responsibility then okay maybe question her but shit happens okay, even when you're safe, SHIT happens! Don't judge, for you are not here to judge!

Fighting words!
This post should hopefully open up some conversation with anyone that decides to read it.
I am currently at this time extremely confused I guess. Let me start with, I have a facebook just like 90 percent of the population and I like to talk about EVERYTHING! One of the main topics as of late has been religion, and to go with that extreme I have also brought up sexuality, in smaller subjects gays. I myself am bi. I have yet to be with a woman but I know I will be with one if not more, it just depends. But that's not the topic so much of this post.
Now to shed some light on a few things before I get started, I am not religious. There is one man however on my facebook that I have known for many years, I went to school with his daughter and I've done the whole sleep over thing and I took his daughters wedding photos.
Every time I post something in regards to religion or my latest post that included a link to a blog about teen suicide and also gay teen suicide (an issue that doesn't get the attention it needs), this man has Something to say, whether it's his words or a passage from the Bible. He posts all kinds of videos, pictures, and scripture on his page that lately have been directed my way because he feels the need to educate me on the ways of God.
-I do not believe in God.-
What has me so flabbergasted right now is this mans last comment to me which was : and I quote (because I'm going to copy it)
----- angela all your post are telling me is that you want to be gay and not feel guilt heck its fine with me its your life live it as you please .I won't condam you thats not my place. wanting the best for you simon ...Jesus christ is lord !as for me and my house we will serve the lord.-----This response right here, it to the blog I posted about TEEN SUICIDE!!!
How sad can this get that this man will sit and talk about me, make an assumption that he knows nothing about, sit and say that I should feel guilty for living my life the way I want to and of course let's not forget that he had to bring God into the conversation. When all I did was try to shed light on an issue that I think needs the spot light on it.
This man is supposed to be a man of God, who has studied the Bible and scripture everyday for over 30 years yet the only thing he can do is continue to push his beliefs on me, ignore the subject at hand and say "Jesus Christ is lord!". As if I haven't all ready figured that's how he feels is the ONLY path to life and that everyone else has no clue what they are talking about. What the hell!!!
To top this all off his daughter actually left me a comment saying "Dear friend, if there is indeed such a place as hell, I think believing that you never judged will be the least of your concerns". Which was in response to me posting facts as well as me saying "though to some people I'm going to hell because I don't believe what they believe but at least I will die knowing I did not judge".
I took this girls WEDDING PHOTOS!!! And she tells me this! It's been bothering me and bothering me and every time I think I've let it go, there it is again! I'm hurt and I've pushed it to the side, but what else am I to do? I know letting it go would be the ideal thing but I don't understand how someone who is supposed to be my friend can sit and say that, and better yet post it on a social media web site for all of my friends to read!!!
Can I get some opinions on this please!?
Thank you!

Being honest is scary...
It's scary, when you're confident in yourself, stable in your beliefs and know that even when it doesn't seem like it you are slowly moving towards your purpose in life (or shall I say goal). I am one in 7 Billion people and it's difficult for me to write these words let a lone utter these words, "I do not believe in God". I would like to clarify this though before you all gasp in utter dismay, heart ache and possibly start having thoughts about me of "how could she", or "why does she not". For those of you who do know me, do I seem to come across as an uncaring person? Am I cold hearted? Evil by any means? Do I judge others for their beliefs? The answers to these are No, I am not uncaring (i am always willing to help people whether they are loved ones or strangers and if they will let me help them), No, I am not cold hearted (i have a huge, warm heart, open to all of those around me), NO, I am certainly not evil (i do not wish bad upon another, I do not wish death, or sadness upon those that I may not agree with), and HELL NO do I not judge others for their beliefs! We are all one to our own and have every right imaginable to believe what we want to.
It's absolutely beautiful for a person who may not have a single soul around to lean on, to be able to find comfort in the belief of something or someone higher than they are.
For me, I have not cut off my mind, soul or heart to the cultures of the world. I chose to learn from them all. Is there something wrong with that? I don't believe so, though others would argue that with me. They would argue that there is only one true way to believe or follow, that only one "God" out there is the right God and all of the others are wrong. My question to them though is, "is there only one way to get to your destination", "is there only one way to write a song", "is there always only one answer to a question"? There are many ways to get to where you are going in life, there are many versus to a song, and there are always multiple answers to a question. Though the direction taken, the words written and the path chosen are up to who ever is making those decisions. They are not wrong, they are what is chosen. I have the right and free will to chose what I believe in, and that does not mean that I will go to Hell because of it, and that does not mean that I won't go to Heaven because of it. Those two places are what you make them.
If there is life after death I feel I will certainly go somewhere, because I am a good person. I do have my flaws in life but don't we all.
On a final note, I want you all to know that I do have Faith. I just chose not to put all of my Faith into something I can not bring myself to believe in. I also can not bring myself to chose one "right" out of so many other wonderful things in life.
I hold nothing against those who choose the path of Jesus Christ, just please remember to grant me the courtesy and all of the other people you may come across to not push your beliefs on me or those around you. That is all I ask.
