I was feeling fucking pissed off yesterday for many many, tiny little reasons that accumulated which eventually erupted into some volcanic outburst that is now beginning to build up yet again from the petulant behaviour of people I choose to subject myself to. So it is really my stupid damn fault that I am feeling angsty and upset yet again and so here I am trying to calm myself a little cause if not, I’d just be awake the whole night imagining myself shred people into little shreddy things.

Anyway.

There was this one time me and a friend were having a conversation on the phone about the whole big issue/controversy on the world ending in 2012. Which if you ask me is a little superficial because people have predicted lots of things and most of it never came true.

So anyway. Back to the point. The point was that my friend said since the word is ending people are becoming more holy, in a sense that they pray and they do good and they pretty much try to fit as much good deeds they can their crap lives just so they can get onto the good side of God so when the world ends they know they'll go to Heaven. Which is all a little overrated if you ask me. The whole trying to be good in God's eyes part, not going to Heaven part. Everyone wants to go to Heaven. I want to go to Heaven.

So my argument was that, why bother trying to be all Holy when all your life you might not have prayed much, or done good much. God isn't about to be fooled. I mean, why bother doing all this when you're doing it because you want to go to Heaven and escape from Hell, not because you really really mean it and are doing it genuinely from the heart? Its all a load of bull, if you ask me.

And about the Heaven or Hell thing. I'm guessing the best explanation would be that God gave you a brain. God gave you heart. If you used those gifts to do terrible things to other people while you were on earth then obviously you would be punished according to your sins and according to your intentions. It is not up to me to tell you that because you did this and you did that and you murdered some guy or you are homosexual and you steal and you lie and you SINNNNNN, you will burn in hell forever and ever for all eternity because it is not up to me to judge what you did because I cannot see the intention behind your actions. Only god knows what you did this and that for and you will be judged according to that.

About the hell thing. I believe that my god (and I'm not saying any other God is bad, but this is just MY belief, so please do not take any offence, I mean no offence :)), is the most compassionate, and most merciful and should anyone be punished as he should rightfully be according to his sins, then I think that punishment would be temporary because I believe that my God is a forgiving one. And obviously if you devoted your life to doing good then you would be rewarded. But ultimately, it all boils down to if you were a good person or not. Praying and being pious and all is all useless if all your life you've lied, and cheated and talked bad things and wronged people and hurt people and made everyone around you so miserable that they can no longer stand you.

Anyway. I most certainly believe that whoever worships a God is on the right path. I mean at least you believe a higher being created all these amazing things you see on earth and outer space. And at least you are God-fearing and I believe that whoever is God-fearing will never ever do anything to hurt anyone because he knows there are consequences for it and that person will always treat you right :)

Someone once told me, "Marry someone who is God-fearing, because then that person will always respect you and your family and most importantly, keep you safe and well and happy." And I couldn't agree more.
