So. Yeah. Guess this would be the perfect time to blog, seeing as it's at about this time that my mind really wanders. No one will ever read this anyways.

First off, I'd like to know why people have emotions...
I mean, I know our brains are much better developed than regular animals, but... I just don't understand.
We get jealous.. I'm actually very bad about this.. For example, things that have happened in the Past.. I just can't let go of.. Jealousy is an awful emotion.. Powered only by selfishness and imaturity.
Sometimes I wish that we had no emotions...
But then we miss out on the better things in Life.
Such as companionship, love, and happiness in general.
The human mind works in such an odd and mysterious way...
One can't help but wonder just how we got here.
Down here in the South, if you ask anyone that, the immediate answer is God.
But that's not entirely true.
We have to take into perspective that the universe is so very vast and detailed
that not just one being could create it.
No matter how powerful or wise it may be.
One also has to consider the necessities of Life itself..
Energy is the main scource, but living conditions must be perfect as well. Just the slightest change in the environment can spell disaster for some animals...
But that makes you wonder how single celled bacteria can survive in even the harshest conditions... where little or no oxygen is present..
I just can't possibly believe that one entity created all of this.
And if God created us in his form, then he must be one sick, twisted, selfish, lying fool. Because all of Humanity is. I am, you are, everyone is. We ALL take our lives for granted. Every single one of us. Including me. I don't value my life that much because we're all insignificant. We're here for a short amount of time, and then we're gone. It's that simple. I've come to believe that there might not be anything after death at all.
Growing up, I was practically forced into Christianity, and I look back on it now, and see just how foolish that was. It was like finding out Santa Clause isn't real. I always thought that if i clasped my hands together and whispered a few magic words, all of my problems would immediately be solved.
Forcing Religion on your children is no different than forcing Politics on them.
They don't know any better.
I believe that no one under the age of maturity should be allowed to practice any religion until they fully comprehend and completely understand the events taking place. I understand that parents believe that they are allowed to do whatever they please with their children and can force any religion they want on them, but they do not realize just how selfish and ignorant they're being. It's foolish.
Religion is nothing more than Hope.
And although Hope keeps this world from completely falling apart,
It's also the main reason we are always in wars.
Disagreements over Religion is one of the main causes of war in this world.
And most people don't realize that if Christianity had never been invented,
then our technology would have progressed by 1,000 years by the present day. But, seeing as we had to go through the Dark Age, all that invaluable information was lost.
And there will NEVER be a day that all of Mankind sees eye to eye.
No matter what it says in your precious Bible,
Humanity will never see itself on equal terms.
Because, as I previously stated, we're all blinded by greed and jelousy.
With the way things are going in the World now, we won't be here much longer.
It's only a matter of time before we have the next Ice Age.
That's another thing,
people think that WE'RE the cause of this.
That's not entirely true.
Sure, we've gave more than enough help to speed Global Warming up, but the earth goes through an Ice Age every ten-thousand years or so. We should have at least around a thousand years left before the next one took place, but now we're looking at maybe a hundred, if we're lucky.
People just don't seem to understand what's going on in the world right now.
It's change.
And there's nothing we can do to stop it.
