It’s hard to tell if there are any answers in the bible. Have you ever read it, and many other scripture? Most people know what they know from Sunday school and the few days at church that their parents dragged them too.

Do I believe in god? Yes and no. I lost my faith when I was young. I am trying to find it again and am having some success. The first thing I did was throw away my bible and start over. I forgot all the things id been taught and threw away all the preconceptions, I don’t think god would want me to hate any of his creations. Gay-straight-colored-welsh- . If god is out there in some shape or form I will find him, or oddly enough, her. And then I will ask.

Does god love me, and does he care. Yesterday I watched my dog die. He was old and loved and that morning his heart failed. His name was max and he was a 10 year old Belgium sheepdog. Death didn’t come quickly for him, yes I know he was just a dog, but he was also my friend. For 3 hours he gasped for one last breath, all I could do was hold him and hope that he wasn’t in pain. He fought hard. And when it was all over, I wondered why it had happened. I looked at his body and I realized something, he wasn’t there any more. What was on the floor was what was left behind. I’ve seen death before, close up and personal, but somehow the death of this dumb dog affected me more then any other. I think it was because I know I will be going the same way. The doctors never told me I would end up lieing in some bed gasping. And when it is my time to go, because we all came here with our return tickets punched, will god be merciful and let me go in peace. Who knows, I guess ill find out latter.

The meaning of life. There isn’t one. I can tell you how it ends, you spend enough time in old peoples homes and in hospitals. You begin to realize. Lots of people die alone. They die cold and damaged, a body so ravaged by arthritis the old woman has to lie on a water bed and cant even sit up. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, does that help with Parkinson’s? There are people out there who live in a living hell, a damaged mind can not be fixed, and very few people are willing to talk to old an man who doesn’t know where his wife is and can’t recognize their sons. It gets worse though, its hard to be there when the old man wakes up and he knows where he is and for a few moments knows what’s happened to him. I can’t deal with that.

- The most fucked up thing about all of this, if you live long enough you will become one of these poor souls. After all every one dies, but before that baring injury or illness, you have to get old. I wonder some times if god loves these people. Or if he created life to let it suffer.

Is he out there at all, or did he lose interest when we murdered his son? He hasn’t shown up here in a while, not to any religion.

Life is sacred. And it’s cheap. The meaning of life? Live it and find out. And don’t believe everything people tell you. In the end religious words are just words.


Some strong words. Very well said.
