modern religion?

allow me to start by saying merry christmas. i hope it was christ-tastic. in the politically correct world of today, someone has to be the one who is willing to break through the barriers set for social conformity, and i am happy to be that person. this allows me to appropriately address the situation which has spurred today's rant. allow me to start by setting the background and atmosphere which contained the event that brightened my day after christmas. i woke up extremely early yesterday due to the fact i spent most of christmas day asleep. i went downstairs, poured a glass of left over eggnog, and decided that i would spend my morning watching the useless television programs that were on at 8:30 in the morning. i turn on the t.v. and, as everyone who has comcast knows, the unofficial southern religious station was the first thing i witnessed. the first audible noise the show decided to bless me with was, and i know how ludicrous it sounds, "adopt a jew". it turns out the international foundation of christians and jews has decided to purchase an infomercial promoting their life giving cause, rescuing jews from areas in which they are being "ruthlessly" discriminated. the area used as an example was russia. and of course, what is an example without actual interviews from those affected. oh religion. what kind of world are we living in when people can take children in africa from their actual, living families because they are celebrities and can sway the morality of individuals with their surplus of money? one where you can adopt a "jew" and ensure their safe passage to israel. but then there is also the freedom to speak your thoughts and feelings. this was demonstrated by a utility van on my drive back to the island from atlanta two weekends ago. the van had a bumper sticker reading, "it's not a choice, it's a child". you are allowed to express your emotions through various mediums, but i have found cars and bodies as the most effective means of conveying one's point of view. everyone can see that you are a pro life supporter, or an uneducated individual when you walk through walmart with your three children wearing a shirt saying, "great pussy". don't believe either of these examples? i invite you to visit good ole' georgia. specifically the glynn county walmart.

so i leave you to think about what kind of statements you are making. will you be a humanitarian or, as some may view, a supporter of religious superiority? if you wish to take the humanitarian pathway visit http://www.wingsofeagles.tv/ and adopt the jew who does have food, water, clothing, and shelter. however, in doing this, you are taking that money from a family or child who needs the basic necessities of life, so are you the humanitarian or the persecutor of an innocent? by speaking out against pro choice are you being an advocate for rights of the innocent or a inhibitor of women's rights? life presents us with these moral choices daily, and it is up to us to respond and be the best person we can be. however this should be the person we are, not the person society is hoping to shape us into.

this post would not be complete without a final stab at religious views. to all who view harry potter as the spawn of satan, here is more ammunition to fuel your cause. all thanks to the website promoting individuality. here's a tribute to the genius of youtube.
