In the Begining....

.....God created the heavens and the earth. Notice how he says "HEAVENS". I bet you didn't know there were three heavens . The starry heaven, the cloudy heaven and the heaven where "God" and his angels reside. But, seeing as how he's omnipresent (everywhere, all the time) I'm guessing he's just more potent there.

Just goes to show I'm not ignorant to the biblical teaching. I'm pretty much know the bible front and back. They say scientists are wrong about a lot that some things shouldn't even be pondered because its all in the book. Rainbows for instance, God puts it there to remind us about the promise. What promise? You ignant som'bitch I cant believe you dint know about the promise. Remember Noah's ark? You know when God destroyed the world with water. Yeah well he put a rainbow in the sky as a promise he will never do it again. So explain global warming... According to those ignorant stupid scientists who know nothing about the world, global warming is melting the northern ice cap. If that happens, the sea levels are going to raise, causing destruction, devastation, and possibly an ice age! Great job human race. Making God contradict himself. After he created you! What were you thinking? But naw, he can fix it. He's omnicient (all knowing), right? He saw this coming.

It just doesn't make sence anymore, now that we know so much about the world. Like the after life. There are chouices. You be perfect, no lying, stealing, tthe whole 7 yards(get it) and go to paradise, where everyone's happy, you never need anything, things are perfect, the streets made of pure gold. Or you can live what todays world would call a normal life, and go straight to hell, where you'll burn for eternity in darkness. Now, tell me how much sence that makes? Before you go calling me ignorant about the perfect thing perfect isn't exactly what I mean. Depending on your branch of Christianity, there are certain requirements. To be baptised, in water and/or fire, to accept Jesus as your saviour, to stop idolizing other people and objects to worship God 1 or more days out of the week, and give tithes(10% of your earnings). Y'know, You only have 90% left, doesn't sound like much, but what if you're making 1000 a week, you tithe once a week, and you're left with 900. But wait... You worked for 1200, after taxes and God, you're left with 900 bucks. Now, can you honestly tell me where that money's going? God can't spend it, he's poor, he has no money. He doesn't need money, Poor, but that's ok because he never has to eat.

Jesus. he was the perfect man, an encarnation of God's glory and power. The guy that saved Humanity from sin. Which brought about grace, replacing the biblical law. We still have to follow the law, but now we can just ask for forgiveness, rather than killing a sheep. now Jesus was a powerful man. He could perform miracles in the blink of an eye. Healing the blind, Raising the dead, healing the sick, turning water into wine, feeding 500 with 2 fish and 5 loaves, walking on water, raising himself from the dead, all of this and he never sinned once, never had sex, for 33 years, all he did was the good work of God, his biological father. There has never been a man without a human father, or that could do such things before. Nor was there one after. This magic man came outa nowhere, left, and never came back. What a guy! That noone alive has never seen.. There's no evidence of him ever existing, or of his miracles.. Well.. None except for the 'Holy Bible'.

Christians.. Y'know they say all the other religions are wrong. That means, everyone around the world that isn't a christian, doesn't believe in God, and isn't a follower of Jesus is an idiot. Heathens! Lets look some types of Christians:

1. Active Christians: Believe salvation comes through Jesus Christ, are committed churchgoers and Bible readers, accept church leadership positions and invest in personal faith development through the church. They also feel obligated to share faith, and about four out of five do so.
2. Professing Christians: Also are committed to "accepting Christ as Savior and Lord" as the key to being a Christian (almost 9 in 10), but focus on one's personal relationships with God and Jesus more than on church and Bible reading and sharing faith.
3. Liturgical Christians: Predominantly Catholics and Lutherans who regularly attend church, recognize the authority of the church, and maintain a high level of spiritual activity, mostly expressed by serving in church and/or community.
4. Private Christians: The largest and youngest segment. They believe in God and in doing good things but not within church context. Only about 1 in 3 attend church at all.
5. Cultural Christians: Do not view Jesus as essential to salvation. They are the least likely to align their beliefs or practices with biblical teachings, or attend church. They favor a universality theology that sees many ways to God.^[7]

I know there are some 'Christians' reading this now. Which one are you? It doesn't matter, IMO. All are an equal waste of time. People aren't even sure of the meaning of the word christian anymore!Lemme help you guys out:

1.	of, pertaining to, or derived from Jesus Christ or His teachings: a Christian faith.

2.	of, pertaining to, believing in, or belonging to the religion based on the teachings of Jesus Christ: Spain is a Christian country.

3.	of or pertaining to Christians: many Christian deaths in the Crusades.

4.	exhibiting a spirit proper to a follower of Jesus Christ; Christlike: She displayed true Christian charity.

5.	decent; respectable: They gave him a good Christian burial.

6.	human; not brutal; humane: Such behavior isn't Christian.

So now it's more than a religion.. It's HUMAN. To be DECENT and RESPECTABLE.

The meaning I learned was to be Christlike. To strive to be like Christ, but remembering that you aren't perfect. I learned that forgiveness is powerful but it isn't to be taken advantage of. Asking God to forgive you, and repenting cleans your slate. Then I learned.. I had to give 10% of my earnings to the church every time I got paid and I had to give an offering every week as some kind of tip for the churches services. even though it's mandatory to go.. So what if I have no money..? What happens then? I'M NO LONGER HOLY OH NO! But wait.. I'm paying 10%, and so is everyone else.. Me + 9 other holy Christians equals a full salary. The enrollment of the church is around 70. Now that does include children, and unemployed people. Let's say 30 tithe every other week. THAT'S 3 TIMES ANYONE'S SALARY! What do they do with all that money?? Hand it to God? He ain't got no hands. Of course, the church has bills.. But the building isn't used more than 3 days a week. Maybe 1 salary goes to bills. Let's say one goes to contracting, and food(And even communion). That still leaves 1 more salary. That one goes to God's bank account. -winkwink- I stopped giving so much when the pastor bought a new car.

I'm sick of religion. It's one of the main causes of war and death, and it's stupid. People only have religions for a sense of security, to know that there's a greater power and that he's in control. WRONG. How much control can he have if he can't effect anyone's free will unless they allow him to? 'THE END IS COMING REPENT" It's called global warming, but science is wrong. UGH. K I'm done.

False Judgment

Some people feel that they can tell exactly who someone is based on one event, or how they look, etc. To them it doesn't matter how or when it happens, but they're really quick to judge.

Example: A normal quiet student beats a relatively popular kid in a game of 1 on 1 basketball. All of a sudden it's believed that this kid is a star and the popular one sucks. There were 3 witnesses to this game. The quiet kid won by 1 point in a times game, and has played only 2 games of basketball in his life. The popular one isn't very skilled at the game. the 'rumor' goes around and a telephone effect takes place, soon enough, the whole school is thinking this kid beat the other guy like 31-5. this could apply to any situation.

i think it's unfair tht people just judge a person or situation based on what they 'heard' when they don't know what anyone was thinking, or even witnessed this for themselves. Honestly it sickens me to see this kinfd of behavior amongst humans; 'Judging a book by it's cover.' these people will swear that they don't, they swear they're perfect. Not saying that I actually am, but at least I don't put on that persona.

Pick up...

Sorry to leave you guys hanging, lol, to my 3-4 readers.

Well cliff hangers suck. Yes they do. Especially in a blog as interesting as mine. Now sadly enough my life hasn't been interesting enough to write a blog about it. So I'll write this one about something else. Last night I went to watch The Dark Night with my friend for the second time, if you've never seen this movie, stop reading now.

Well, usually on the second watch you'll notice some stuff about the movie that you didn't before. Here are the things I managed to catch.

1. In the beginning, there was the heaven.. Haha kidding. When you see that guy standing there waiting for the van, with a mask in his hand, that's The Joker. Well, I followed him around until he took his mask off. T'was interesting.
   
2. When Batman first shows, he takes one of the fake batman's guns an bends it. I wondered how, Batman doesn't have super strength.. I noticed something in his hand. No sure what it is, but that's what he used.
   
3. Eh, I Will Continue this later.
   

The Break

In my life so far recent series of events with someone has pulled me to them so much that it's too much, if you get what I mean. Yes, she's a girl.

It seems like we've talked about everything, and I do mean everything. Now all that's left to do is argue about nothing, and ponder the future. Neither of which is good. You see, she is taken, but we both know we were probably ddestined to be together, some how. Sign after sign was thrown at us constantly, this isn't even just recently. Makes me wonder, what if I had just asked her out when I wanted to? See, I never knew she had any feelings for me. When she was taken I had started to get over her, but when she told me she did, it made it obvious that she still did, at least a little, even for just that day. Then.. The totally unexpected happened. Well.. Cliff hanger... :] Till tomorrow...

To be Gothic...

I won't beat around the bush; this blog is going to explain what it means to be Gothic. No goth can really proclaim him/herself as such without coming to the conclusions I have in this blog. Well not really in my opinion.

Now, the Gothic period was a time of people obsessed with the sublime - in other words, that which is not physically beautiful, but is profound and needs deep thought to be understood. For example, imagine two staircases: one is a new staircase, never before stepped on, wrought with sparkling marble; the other, an old staircase, cut from granite and so worn the stone is faded where men have walked. To which staircase does the goth gravitate? The answer is the old one. The concept is this: while the new staircase may be a wondrous sight to behold, there is not much more to do than behold it. The old staircase, however, has seen many feet in its day; it has more character, more stories to tell. Willy Nelson's old guitar is a sore sight - there are holes worn into the soundboard from use, but its age has seen far more variety than the plastic newness of a brand new guitar. The old staircase and the old guitar are sublime - rather than prove physically beautiful, like the new staircase and the new guitar, they offer more intellectual fodder. The true goths of today are, as those of the Gothic period centuries before, obsessed with the sublime.

Now this is not to say that something new isn't to be sought after, but after some thought you'll see why something older, maybe a little tarnished, could be, well, more fulfilling. And this doesn't just apply to staircases and guitars, not just to material things for that matter. But to anything, any person, place, idea, etc.

I think that it would be better if one had to qualify to be Gothic. First, the applicant would have to come to the same conclusions I did, after hours of thought, and only after they've proven themselves worthy would they be awarded with a card certifying that they are bona fide Gothic. Without need to show this in the way they present themselves, though I do feel goths should look a certain way, it doesn't mean they all should look the same.

First Post

This is mainly a test post for my website. It's coming along quite well. That's really all I careabout right now.
