most people who know me know that i cant stand religion, i despise it and i hate the zombie ness of it
spread the disease to infect others and spread and spread and spread
no offense of course, merely an analogy
but hear me out
2 days ago my mom told me her friend, from church, would change my brakes for 20 bucks, and being a computer person and not a car person, i was down for that deal
now im thinking to myself, alright, moms church friend... going to take the weed shit out of my car throw in some eyedrops as not to embarass my mom
so i get there, the dude looks like a biker kind of a guy
told him i was going to walk to jack in the box and asked if he wanted anything (tacos, same thing i was getting cause they are BOMB)
He said "you got the munchies dont you"
which lead to a conversation about herb, which lead to a conversation about his past
this dude, who i just met for the first time, was telling me how you used to make and sell meth, and the people who wouldnt pay him on time or enough money, he would go into their houses, duct tape them up, and rob them blind
then he "found god" and now is a "normal" functioning (although unemployed) member of society
and it made me realize that, certain people NEED religion in their lives, for many different reasons, and as long as they are reasonable and rational about their religions i am perfectly capable of accepting and respecting some ones beliefs
