I grew up going to the Anglican church and hated it. I stopped going as soon as I was big enough that my parents couldn't drag me to the car on Sunday mornings - ever since then I have sort of steered clear of Religion. I guess the closest thing I've had to a religion in my life is music (I think I even wrote a song called 'Music, My religion' a long time ago) Don't get me wrong, I'm a spiritual person, and I believe in good not evil. I also believe there is SOMETHING out there more than us, that perhaps even created everything- but I don't have the narcissistic attitude that our minds could possibly comprehend it. Let alone think that it was a dude that looks like me with two arms and legs, etc. Anyway, I won't get into that now.
The point is I'm not Anglican. I'm not Christian. I'm not Aethiest either. I'm me.
Recently though, I've had some interest in Religion, partly out of curiousity, and partly because I like to be educated on the things I disagree with (which is sort of arrogant in and of itself - oh well)
So I checked out the scientology online tonight to see what they're all about - I gotta admit they make some good points, but again, like most other Religions I've seen, it comes down to the almighty Dollar. They were really convincing me in with all this talk of the spirit having a body and mind, dianetics, and anti-pollution. But I had this inkling that something was just a little off - apparantly I might be right.
I guess organized religion will never really be for me, it's always just a little too fucked.... I'll just try to be a good being and find my own way.
"It's these little things, they can pull you under
Live your life filled with joy and wonder
I always knew this altogether thunder
Was lost in our little lives
Oh, oh, but sweetness follows" - Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe
