RELIGION!!! What is it good for?..............

Absolutely nothing.....


What you are about to read is a deep thought I had about Religion a couple months back. I felt that this was necessary to be posted because it will help set the tone for the type of thoughts I am trying to create and provoke amongst everyone. Please enjoy! Please don't hesitate to add a comment and tell me your thoughts.

Religion is just a combination of philosophy and mythology, meaning that somewhere along the way man was unable to explain the events of nature and also wanted to set up guide lines of rules to live by. The philosophy of Christianities religion is good and should be well practiced. The problem is when people start to believe in the mythology of religion it takes away all logical thinking of what the original philosophy was intended for. Peace, Love, Respect, and the lending of help for one another.

This is the greatest story ever sold to mankind. This creates huge power struggles for years, thus meaning one person will not like the rules that one religion will set in place, then that person will create their own religion and sell it the same vein as the original one they first were taught with a few minor changes. Then the power struggle begins and the fantasies of one’s mind become a bigger selling point to offer to potential new followers. This maybe were the heaven comes from such as, eternal life of riches, or 72 virgins and so on. But, with the selling of the great “heaven” comes the threat of the great “hell”. People need to have a scary opposition to be afraid of, in order for the leader of such religions to keep their followers from straying away from how they think you should live.

In a nutshell I believe that all religion is just a power struggle for who has the best “ideal” to live life by. Mankind will never figure out the riddle to why we are here or why things happen the way they do. Science is a great way to figure out why mankind has made certain things and has somewhat figured out why the earth has mountains and grass etc. but it still will never tell us what we actually are, and why we are here. It is a never ending vicious cycle that spins around and around just like the earth we live on does. It’s my belief that if you just live the best life you possible can and enjoy yourself that the world and others will take care of themselves. If we could all believe in the simple kindness and generosity of the philosophy of the characters of religion and put selfishness aside we could possibly live in a close to utopia of a world.

Unfortunately this will never happen. Selfishness is what got us into these beliefs’ in the first place. It was the selfishness of treating everyone fair and giving and helping to everyone you can. But, there will always be that someone who has to come along and add something new to the original thought. Because they felt over looked or did not get everything they wanted from the first person’s ideal. Because you can only be so selfish to always get what you want, that once you get everything you want, something else comes along that you don’t have, or can’t get and you want that too. Or that something you don’t have you might not like. Then this upsets you and makes you want to fight to show off that you are the one who has everything. This brings us back to the never ending vicious circle of life. We will never be perfect. The world will never be perfect. No one will be completely right and have their utopia of a world. This is why people create the mythology of religion so people can pretend to believe in a perfect world that they will somehow get to.

The point is why let religion or politics bother you?... So you can have something to talk about and or argue about at the dinner table with friends and family? Maybe, but it could also be there so we do communicate with each other and one day all coexist in peace. If there is a God or a perfect world I think the only one underline message is to be respectful and peaceful to everything around you. And I don’t think that fighting and killing each other over who has the better ideals of God or has the better rules to be peaceful and respectful under is what was intended.

We will all never be cookie cutter humans that have the same exact beliefs and the same exact thoughts. This world would not be very much fun or interesting if we did. Maybe the “heaven” and “hell” we are all searching for is actually already here on this earth? Maybe the Heaven part is that we are alive, have a nice family and friends, we are healthy and so on. And Maybe the Hell is the natural disasters that destroy things and so are the murders and war? It might be possible that Heaven and Hell was created by mankind. We created it right here on the planet we exist on. It was created by our ideals and ways of living, because if you create something through a thought and you can’t see it. Maybe, just maybe, that thought will somehow become a reality without anyone really recognizing it.

Alex Rodriguez and Steroids!!

I was going to go to bed but I started to read a blog and someone was complaining that Alex Rodriguez was not convincing enough about not doing steroids.

So I felt the need to blog something about this subject.

First off I am a fan of Baseball period. I am especially a fan of Yankee Baseball on top of that. But, I do think this steroid talk is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo O-L-D!!!!!!!!!!!! Can we please give this shit a rest?

At the time A-Rod tested for steroids so did about 103 other players. Yes, that's right 103 other players who were not named recently. They were not named recently because the report was to not meant to get out to the public. First off you can say what you want about A-Rod. I know a lot of people are quick to do so anyway. But this was obviously an attempt to put him in yet another negative light.

But, it should be noted that the MLB drug policy was not even fully implemented until spring of 2006. So at the time A-Rod took his enhancement drugs they were not even against MLB policy yet. Just like many other players like Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Andy Pettite, and Roger Clemens just to name a few. My point here is WHY IS THIS A BIG DEAL? WHY? Why must Mark McGwire go into hiding and not feel he has to tell the truth? Why does Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens go on a ranting rage when ever asked to admit the truth? Why the Fuck do we Care?

All professional athletes use some kind of "performance enhancing" measure. Weather its legal or illegal. Sorry to ruin the fantasy that for years and years everyone did it naturally. They all took supplements that are legal or weren't made illegal at the time and they are all still doing it today. EVERY SINGLE PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE DOES SOMETHING TO ENHANCE PERFORMANCE!!!!! From something as small as working out extra hard, purchasing a personal trainer or coach that is more expensive than the other guys to taking stronger pain medicine to heal quicker. Whatever it is they all do it to be better than the next guy.

The rest of us are just plain amateur players ourselves who never made it to the big show and all we want to do is sit back and cry and whine about the jock you wish you were and why he is a punk for taking steroids. Why are you worried about someone who has made it to the big time and what they are doing? Even if all of us amateur players took steroids we still would not be anywhere close to half as good as these guys who are in the big leagues now.

Everyone makes a huge deal of this crap. Sorry to break the news but there is absolutely no "sanctity" of any professional sport. There never has been and there never will be. These guys are not role models nor do many of them claim or want to be. We as average amateur "wanna be" players spend hundreds and in some cases thousands and thousands of dollars for jerseys and memorabilia for someone jerk off who entertains us for a couple of hours a day. They are just playing a game..that's all its is and all it ever will be. Just plain old entertaining games that we wish our fat asses could still play. The more we put these guys on a pedestal and praise them and try to make them god like freaks, the harder it is for the younger kids and some adults to see them fall. So my solution. STOP PUTTING THEM ON A PEDESTAL AND ENJOY THE GOD DAMN GAME!!!!
