religion feature.
today my fasting for lent is suppose to end, but since i accidently ate duck the other night i will repent (out of excitement and hunger) and extend for a couple of days. it seems like every jack and jill i know have turned into nihilists, raised to be catholics but chose to be atheists probably out of despite for their parents preaching words of god, in a manner that one could could identify as, hypocritical? did they completely ruin it for us?
working in a restaurant that is part of sydney’s only casino, i witnessed people forget the essence of easter holidays-people on 1 cent slot machines, roulette tables, laughing, drinking, eating meat and actually having a three course meals and even overhearing a couple probably committing adultery? of course this excludes people who have never been associated with the religion, but logically if the government is permitting a nation wide long weekend holiday there must be a large percentage of australians who are supposedly catholics, right?…shut up katrina.
despite the shortcomings of this religion and the misrepresentation of the church, i still remain faithful to it’s values and what it stands for. i need religion to instill spiritual meaning in my life, to believe something bigger out there exists and is generally watching our puny pathetic lives and lastly to give valid reason to all things that trial us, as human beings.
