Just ranting

 Why is it that most people always just assume that the type of music that someone listens to is representive as to how that person really is, IE country means redneck,rap means thug/gangsta and heavy metal means Satan worshipper??? I myself like and listen to metal and the heavier the better. I listen to any and everything from AC/DC and Black Sabbath to Marilyn Manson and Children Of Bodem. I listen to it and like it mainly for its beat and guitar riffs and the growling helps to especially if it is a chic like Otep or the singer from KITTIE doing the growling.

 To me, Satan or religion for that matter, hasn’t a thing in this world to do with music. I like it and listen to it simply because of the way it sounds and just because I like and listen to it does not make me a Satan worshipper just like someone that listens to rap is a thus or country a drunk and wife beater and on that same note, just because someone listens to christian music doesn’t make them christian. To each their own so let it be people.

 Here is the ever so touchy rant about religion. We all have been seeing and hearing alot about end times here recently and alot has to due to the fact that the Mayan calender runs out in December of this year. The Mayans made a calendar that went up to December of this year, a thousand years plus after their demise. Just because their calendar stopped this coming December means absolutely nothing. They made a calender that went over 1,000 years past the existance, nothing more and nothing less. Just because their calendar ends this year doesn’t meant that the world will too. The christian Bible says that Christ will make his second coming 2,000 years after His ascent. So by scholars and clergy accounts, He is late by atleast 12 years now. The bottom line is that their is no use in worrying about something that you have no control over what so ever and it will happen when it happens. Plain and simple.

 Why do christian zealots insist on shoving their beliefs down our throats and telling us all, in some way or form, that our beliefs and practices are wrong and we are all going to Hell unless we accept their beliefs??? I know that the scriptures say to go forth and spread the word but spreading the word and shoving their practices and beliefs down anothers throat is two different things.

 I have been on both sides of this equation. I faithfully went to church every Sunday, partook of the Sacrament and I even received and still hold the priesthood to this day and I have even performed sacred ordinances including baptism. With all that being said, I left the church simply because I knew their was/is something more out there besides that which the church teaches. I am totally against organized religion simply because that they all claim to be the true and only path and that is impossible because there can only be one and no group knows for a fact what the true path is.

 Because of my own personnal beliefs and feelings towards religion alot of people say that I am going straight to Hell. That might be true BUT their will be alot of those that condemn me and others for what we believe blazing the trail for us and there they will find their truw reward.

 Ok I am done with my ranting atleast for now and I leave you all with one final thought and that is…. Peace, love and chicken grease.
