Argh.

What should I feel? Emotion is really too weak to be something to elaborated by words anyway... not saying that words are strong in the first place. Man has really gotten me through an avenue of ponder, anger, anxiety, pity, cynaism and what have you...

Damn.

What can I tell those holding weak beliefs that appear so strong? What can I supply to those who have reason and theory that seem so untouchable? What, damn it?

They percieve religion to be just another avenue of comfort for the woes of man's predicament. Another crutch to hold onto for the welfare of human sanity. Why? Perhaps religion is the thing that supplys the following ingredients to man, his needed vitamins for a healthy life: Direction, Personal Identity, Wisdom, A sense of belonging, understanding, life principles, motivation, inspiration, love, faith, comfort, standards, encouragement. But Is mankind really that shallow? Well, I guess they are in a way. Man always seek these things in the first place, its no doubt that the mentality that religion, being an avenue to the attainment of these traits would arise. But I beg to differ. Seriously... chrisitianity is not some kind of song you hear thats nice. Everytime you hear it, it will feel nice and be comfortable. But hearing the same song over and over again will make one bored, in the same instance, no matter how many ways of collisions to the desired vitamin, it doesnt work in the way of a song.

And what's more... I can't say much when they acutally know about religions. They study each one in-depth and can write books on each. They can discuss each and even bind everything up together nicely. What crap... But I can't say that anyway.

Because they assume that I'm livining by blind faith. They think that I am simply being narrow minded. They feel that there is wholeness between this whole thing and many paths to one single road that doesn't need to be clinged onto.

But what can I blame? And what should I blame anyway? I will appear as a fanatic either way. If I use emotions, I will appear to them as a moron holding onto something not letting go. If I use reason, they fight back with logic. And they seem to know about all these things and carry a perception that its all really perceptions of each singular individual. That is my view in a way... but I'm not a realvist. I believe there are absolutes. There defintely are...

But then opinion strikes in. I'll use an analogy, a man jogging on a road. When people see him, theres several views to his situation: 1) Its a form of excercise, good for him to build up his body. 2) He looks fat... this is probaly part of his plan to slim down, 3) His trying to excercise to impress ladies, what a proud fellow, 4) He looks so tired and still jogging, what determination -- or -- what if he collaspes?, 5) His stressed out and this is a good way for him to vent his fustrations, 6) His late for work and doesnt want to be sacked......... etc. etc. etc. Each view is really a variable, theres several openings to a new wave of opinion.

Sigh...

I have a great feeling I'll talk about this more. For now...
