hahahaha Blogger Gear...funny. till they make a Blogger thong i'm not interested. :P

k, if you're religious this'll offend you, but don't blame me i'm just a little heathen child....this is something that's been on my mind a lot lately for some reason....HOW can people be religious?? i mean, Greek mythology is taught in schools as MYTHS and cute little stories....but that was the RELIGION of the ancient Greeks, and guess what guys, most of the same stories are in the Bible (a huge ass flood, gods creating woman - Eve/Pandora - to tempt and bring suffering to men, etc). i don't know about the holy texts of religions beside Christianity and Judaism, but i bet they've got similar stories in em. and what i wonder is...if we accept that the Greek religion is not fact, why don't we accept that every other religion is false as well? because you don't know what's real. i hope this is coming out clear. basically what i'm trying to say is, i don't understand how anyone can believe any religion when the religions of ancient civilizations are considered false. will people a few thousand years from now study the Bible or the Koran in school and go, "haha, what a bunch of cute little silly stories! and they actually believed THAT!!" (which, btw, is what's gone through my head ever since i was little when it comes to religion.)
let me regale you with the story of my first memorable introduction to religion. my parents bought me a big illustrated book of Greek myths for Easter when i was in the third grade. i thought, "hey, this sounds like a sweet religion, i think i'll become a Greek!" then i learned that this was the religion of an ancient civilization and no one believed in it anymore. i just wondered....why?? how does that even make sense?? since then i've never been able to wrap my brai around the concept of someone believing a storybook. its like ancient Egyptians worshipping cats and imaginary jackal-headed dieties, its like floating and then burning a young woman as a witch in the 1500's, its like believing in a pantheon of gods who are descended from a union of earth and sky, its like standing out in the middle of the Mojave with a tinfoil hat and a sign that says "BEAM ME UP." its all the same and it frustrates me that others can't see that. the truth is no one knows what the truth IS, and religions come and go like fads. no one is right because no one knows.

so, there you go, HeathenGirl has made her case.

i don't really have anything else to say, i've just been working a lot lately and am still pissed that i have no time or energy for my art.
