I see "religion" as an organised, human-centric form of worship, not so much as a way of living. I guess because I am a sceptic when it comes to people who use religion for their benefit (and I am not making a blanket generalisation here). I refer to earnest believers as spiritual people, people who really do live a sincere reflection of their respective doctrines. It's true, it may be a negative view of religion, but I do think that it's easy to disguise politics as religion and to condemn others for being different under the safety of religious belief. We all know that patience, acceptance and love are the key to good moral behaviour, but why do so many people use "God's word" as they interpret it, to incite hatred and bigotry? So, when I refer to religious, I mean human rites and rituals as opposed to the act of believing in something bigger than us all. Hope I'm making sense.mamasanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16948181008359323211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19510230.post-1148668523490422902006-05-27T02:35:00.000+08:002006-05-27T02:35:00.000+08:00Hmmm, you're pissed off about something! :DI say ...Hmmm, you're pissed off about something! :D<BR/><BR/><I>I say mothers really do shape the way a family progresses...</I><BR/>I agree with you 100%!<BR/><BR/>After reading through your post, I get the sense you have a lot in your head which you are trying to process.

I dont think she mistook her religion with what she had to say. <BR/> <BR/>I hope you have a good weekend.<BR/><BR/>-tachodaemon-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19510230.post-1148458868463793532006-05-24T16:21:00.000+08:002006-05-24T16:21:00.000+08:00C,do u watch 'No Reservations: Anthony Bourdain ?'...C,<BR/><BR/>do u watch 'No Reservations: Anthony Bourdain ?'

I think you've mistaken about your own religeon dear. Point out a 'good' thing and refer it to your religeon. I most definitely think everything good is religeous or as i could best put it, religeon is a part of your life, a part of our life.<BR/><BR/>If we're apart from it, well everything bad derives from the slip offs of the fundamental 'good'.. so in short, take a step back and ponder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19510230.post-1148288815085876502006-05-22T17:06:00.000+08:002006-05-22T17:06:00.000+08:00taylor! taylor! taylor!taylor! taylor! taylor!ontahsapohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16300068556259925005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19510230.post-1148128220796820092006-05-20T20:30:00.000+08:002006-05-20T20:30:00.000+08:00good is a very subjective word. u may do something...good is a very subjective word. u may do something good today but that 'good' may not good to others.. just as long as we do good or we think we do good, i thing it's good enough..mamabiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07656418300190071320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19510230.post-1148009156943860312006-05-19T11:25:00.000+08:002006-05-19T11:25:00.000+08:00I'm not too sure where ALL the cowboys have gone b...I'm not too sure where ALL the cowboys have gone but my guess is a couple could have gone fishing at Brokeback Mt.. eeeww. <BR/><BR/>Been reading ur posts for quite some time now, and must admit that this is the first one that i cant understand in its entirety.
