\"Day19\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think of politics at all.\u00a0 I probably should, it\u2019d be wise to be informed but I honestly don\u2019t care about it at all.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think I even know who Canada\u2019s prime minister is at the moment. \u00a0I don’t really care, that’s probably why.\u00a0 That\u2019s pretty much all I have to say about that.<\/p>\n

Religion is another matter. I consider myself to be non-religious\u2026 as in, I don\u2019t believe in God, it just seems so far fetched.\u00a0 I assume that if there is a God, when the time comes he\u2019ll forgive me for having doubts.\u00a0 Besides, I think I will be more upset with him that he will be with me.\u00a0 He will have a lot<\/em> of explaining to do.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think I could call myself a full fledged atheist, because I have no proof that there is NO God.\u00a0 Neither can I prove that there is one.\u00a0 I\u2019m in the middle, leaning heavily on the side of the atheists, however.<\/p>\n

I often envy people who have religion in their lives, who blindly believe in God and heaven and all that other business, because I think it brings them a great deal of peace.\u00a0 I wish I could believe that my Nana is in heaven waiting for me and that I\u2019ll see her again one day, but I don\u2019t.\u00a0 I\u2019d love to have the comfort that comes with that, so if it was a matter of snapping my fingers and just believing<\/em> I would.\u00a0 I can\u2019t though, it\u2019s just not how I\u2019m built.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have religion in my life but I don\u2019t judge those who do. Unless, that is, they use religion as an excuse to be judgmental or cruel to others.\u00a0 It does happen\u2026 a lot of things are done and said with the Bible and \u2018God\u2019s Word\u2019<\/em> used as their excuse.\u00a0 So not cool.<\/p>\n

I also hate when people give me grief because I don\u2019t believe in God, that irritates the living shit out of me.\u00a0 If you come to me wanting to discuss religion or to turn me over to your faith, and I say I am not interested, don\u2019t try to shove it down my throat.\u00a0 If someone says they aren\u2019t interested or that they don\u2019t\u2019 believe in God, the chances are greater that you will anger them than that you will change their mind.<\/p>\n

I find myself agreeing with what Ricky Gervais has to say<\/a> on the matter.\u00a0 When I read his article, I felt that it was the closest thing to how I feel and that he explained it much better than I ever could, so maybe I should just stop talking and let you read that instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
