The Life of Me

I am religious. Roman Catholic. (Christian...) Go me and my religion! But you know what bugs me? Religious people tend to get judged. And people who are related to religious people get judged and made fun of.

A friend of mine just told me that she used to get teased because her dad was Jewish. People said some awful things. I mean, I got ticked off when I was watching a Tim Hawkins (the Christian comedian) video on YouTube, and one of the comments was "Christians have no sense of humor." Okay, so, let me just explain this to you: Your religion does not in any way affect your sense of humor. (Well, it's not right for Catholics to tell dirty jokes. (Wow, that sounded lame... You know... Lustful jokes... Inappropriate... Reproduction-related...) Let's change the subject.)

What the heck happened to FREEDOM OF RELIGION? Huh? I posted that abortion entry a while ago! People are all about rights for women! How 'bout RIGHTS FOR RELIGIOUS PEOPLE??? Come on! Grow up, people! It's been said that when people make fun of you, it's just because they're insecure. Now, I'm sure that's not true in all cases, but are you, religious-making-fun-of-ers? Are you embarrassed that you're non-religious? 'Cause if you are, then screw what your friends think. Life isn't about impressing people or getting accepted. If you want to be religious, look into it and become religious!

Even if you don't particularly want to be religious, if someone tells you about religion, listen up! I don't know what people who aren't religious live for... (I'm afraid to say athiest... I'm not sure if that's exactly the right word... I know atheist and agnostic are kind of the same... Whatever. You get it.) All I know is that when you're Catholic, you live for God, and you love it. (If you're doing it right.) I am nearly certain that I'm not doing it right yet, but that almost makes it better. Just knowing the fact that I get to keep trying harder and harder to get to know Him. Catholics are supposed to become best friends with the ruler of the universe. He cares about each and every one of us, even those who don't believe. That's what you get when you become Catholic. It rocks, and everybody ought to--everybody needs to--convert to it! (I have this fantasy of me converting, like, the entire world to Catholicism... People say that it only takes one person to change the world, but I don't really think it would take just me to switch everybody to Catholicism... Especially in today's world... No offense, today's world...)

See ya! (Sorry it took me so long to post... I kind of forgot Life of Me existed for a bit there... Volleyball... School... Ugh...)
