This is a stupid entry.

I was watching the news last night when they did a segment on two men who had predicted the end of the world was near. They had written these books called The Left Behind series, based on prophecies found in Revelations.

Dare I say this, but religion is somewhat bullshit. I believe in a higher being, I believe we go somewhere when we die, but all this other prepackaged crap can burn. Religion is nothing more than a huge, elaborate scare tactic used to keep Pilgrims from screwing their cousins. I used to go to church and believe everything they told me, and then I remember this one day when I was sitting in a pew, listening to the priest ramble on and on about some book of the Bible no one could pronounce. I remember exactly what I thought.

What makes me right and everyone else wrong?

What validates Christianity? What gives us the right to say that everyone is going hell, and that our way is the only right one? Nothing does. Anyway, these guys said that there were "more signs today of the apocalypse than at any other time." Bullshit. Just because a tsunami hit? What about Pompeii? Was that the end of the world? Just because there's war and unrest in the world? Like there's never been any war and unrest in our world? They then went on to say that when Jesus makes his second appearance, everyone who believes in him will go to Heaven, and the rest of us foul sinners will be left to perish with the Antichrist, or some crap like that. Nonbelievers would include Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and basically the entire universe. The only way you can save yourself from living an eternity in excruciating pain is to become an Evangelical Christian.

So now we have the age old debate of, if God is a loving God, why would he condemn so many people to hell? He wouldn't, because all of the stuff they teach you in Sunday school contradicts with proven scientific fact. Scientists have spent years researching how we evolved, and they've done a damn good job of it. What does religion have? I came from someone's rib? The bastards even contradict themselves. According to Christianity, you could murder 11 people, and as you sit in jail, you could ask forgiveness and accept Jesus. You would go to heaven. Another person could give hundreds to charity, do good all their lives, and because they never accepted Jesus, they would burn in hell. Does this make any sense at all? Don't the commandments say not kill? So basically, all the laws God made for us can be broken as long as we say we're sorry? Then why make laws, or write a Bible, if none of it matters? We could go around shooting people in the eye and we'd still go heaven as long as we apologized like some stupid child on a paper towel commercial who spilled juice everywhere. It just doesn't make sense.

This could go on for hours, and I'm basically trying to kill 40 minutes until I can go home. I just thought it was funny how these two jackasses were on national TV telling everyone how they are going to all burn in hell. Oh, and I forgot to mention the fact that these two guys, who have made millions from their books, are now thinking of producing a TV series, a movie, toys, and other such merchandise to better increase their profits. Gee, if the world was ending so soon, why even bother? Assholes.
