Everything is Snowballing
Well…i went to see 9 on Saturday with Jacob….it wasn’t as good as I had hoped. ._. Previews made it look better…rawr.
I had fun though…xP
Ugh…I finished the Cirque Du Freak series today..i’ve been waiting to get my hands on the last book for 2 years…i read the other 11 in 8th grade…so…ugh..XD
But..it was depressing..i finished it in 2 days….i like…devoured it…and now it’s over…
i’ve been feeling really hopeless since then…like there is no point in life..because everybody dies…humanity will die out…other life forms will die out…everything will eventually be gone..even this universe will one day be ripped apart..so what is the point in doing anything? even living?
Um…monday, we had a substitute in english and had to write free verse…i read both of these outloud to the class…lol @ the god one..i figured everyone would yell..since i live in the bible belt… XP
But, they all liked it..well..most..? XD And the teacher really liked the second one…so, i think they are pretty good..i don’t usually write free verse.
I drew a really creepy picture sunday…it was of a baby..in a womans belly…well, like, you could see through her skin, and the woman had a bloody hand and there were scissors stabbed into her stomach and it was all bloody and it had sliced through the umbilical cord and the baby was just..peacefully sleeping…and the woman was like..a murderer…and it was really good and really creepy..i think i might burn it later.
Jacob doesn’t like it..i had it hanging on my wall and i couldn’t sleep…so i moved it…v.v
I think i’m going insane, i really do…
Say Goodbye to God
Think about the cause of wars,
Think about the cause of hate,
People fight over their beliefs,
Believe what I do or I’ll kill you.
Have you ever heard of the Crusades?
Millions killed for being Pagans.
What about Hitler’s hopes of a Nazi world,
Jews and Gypsies murdered by the thousands.
Then there were the American Indians,
Andrew Jackson ordered their removal,
Telling them that if they followed their culture,
They would be starved, hung, and ordered to leave their homes.
And of course there is Iraq,
Muslims killed our people so lets fight back,
Now Muslims are looked down upon,
When we see someone with a turban we think terrorist.
So many problems have been caused by religion,
We need to learn to accept everybody,
Since our human nature won’t allow us to do that,
Let us say goodbye to God…

Bloody Music Box
A little girl calls out "Mama,"
Gun shots, the only answer to her cries,
She runs away with dirt covered cheeks,
Trying to find an escape from this hell.
Stumbling through her blackened house,
She comes across her mother’s body,
Curled and burnt, she stares blankly at her daughter,
In her hands she holds a little music box.
The girl climbs into her mother’s arms,
A twinkling noise interrupts her tears,
She looks down and finds a ballerina,
The tiny pink dancer moves up and down.
Booms are overshadowed by the music,
As she tries to imitate the delicate movements,
Flowing back and forth the girl cries happily,
Dancing for her mother’s tender soul.
As the music begins to slow it’s pace,
Heavy lead whistles through the air,
Still dancing, the little girl gets hit,
She lands beside her mother with a smile.
And together, their souls dance up to Heaven.

I ABSOLUTELY agree that many problems are caused by religious beliefs and that was a factor in my questioning my beliefs in gOd. One of the things that i had to think about was the “hole” created in my life by “de-conversion” of religion. And what I and many other people do is we try to make our lives and the planet a better place in ways we can. Try to be functioning memebers of society. Living forever is not in heaven but through your children and bringing them up to be functioning memembers of society as well. i feel kind of sad because i dont have children. 🙁 my wife and i are trying but our chances are very low.

Thinking about one’s own life in particular, whether humanity dies out or flourishes forever or whatever makes no difference at all to any one particular person. One of us doesn’t make a scratch in the big scheme of things. Even one of the awesome important guys like Einstein or whatever. You don’t affect the future and the future doesn’t affect you. If this is so, why even think about it?
