"yeah man, i can really relate to rage against the machine man. i hate the government so much for oppressing us all." (average angst boy.) using the government to express some of your anger, is ok. its alright to take a topic and say: ok, i am mad that the government is doing this to and i think i will tell people about it. example: "i don't like how they are making unemployment on the poor people." thats fine. i'm with ya! however, standing up for all issues that you don't even really care about, just to have something to bitch about is becoming redundant. are you "that guy?" are you? it's ok to be that guy. we all will understand where you are coming from. hell, we were all probably that guy at one point or another. i was that guy but a year ago. "yeah! socialism, communism, marxism, anarchy!@!@@ grrR!@#" believe me, its not good for your psychological state. in fact, let me take this chance to bring up another topic: god. uh oh. not that subject. no jesse!@ stop! repent! before you go to hell!@ well folks, too late. lets talk about god. do any of you out there believe in god? "mumblemumbleyeahmumblemumble." any atheists in the party tonight? "blargleyeahblarglemumble." ok. so we are all represented. now, i am sure i am speaking to a wide spectrum of people who believe in god. we got the christians, jews, buddhists, hindu, muslims. we got the native americans, tribal africans, really, everyone. let me tell you all one thing. you are all the same religion. believers. then there are the disbelievers. who is right? "we are man, look at all the proof god exists. i mean, how could we be wrong?" "prove to me god exists. is he composed of atoms? does he live next door to you?" this fight could go on forever and no one would ever notice neither of you are right and both of you are right. "what?" - everyone. god is in your head. if you believe, great. that's good for you, if you feel the need to believe to make good decisions. great! if good gives you a warm feeling in your tummy, great! if you don't need any god to tell you, don't murder, lie, cheat steal, etc, great! if science is all you need, fine! i feel great for the both of you!@!# i really do. but, if you are simply such-and-such religion simply because your parents and grandparents were, re-think your priorities. think about god. go agnostic until you can figure out what the universe is. i did. i finally decided to go with buddhism. my decision, and i understand where other people are coming from when they say "i don't know." just don't let your parents pressure you into a religion you don't feel comfortable with. sigh. ok. so i am a little redundant. i expressed my anger to god in HOE #323, but i was just a little stressed at the time. sorry. i was trying in vain to be witty god, i am sorry, i swear!@ ow!@ lightning!@ ack!@ !!========================================================================!! !!
