Choosing a religion

The past days I stumbled across one of the idiotic things I’ve ever come across the Internet. It was this:

Oh, mighy Internet, bless us with your unending wisdom and give us the solution to our existential problems! This is too much to take…I mean, for heaven’s sake, do we really need to be told everything? We get advice on how to eat, how to dress, how to have sex even, but have some of us really come up to the state when they aren’t capable of deciding for themselves concerning such a personal matter? Apparently, yes… It makes me sad to see this happen, but I guess there’s nothing we can do, but accept that all this religious mumbo-jambo is going to go on for a while. What do they do there: do they give you a test and if you have over under 50 points you should be Orthodox, between 50-100 you should be Catholic and over 100 you should be Islamic? It seems to me just soooooo stupid…

Just the other night, I was having a very interesting conversation with my friends (I missed talking to them like that) and we were trying to figure out in what degree is religion necessary. That led me to the conclusion that it’s necessary to the extent to which humans are still incapable of self-control and still need a point of refference, a gridline to measure their actions and try to separate right from wrong. Apart from all the religion talk, I really needed to reopen some doors of my mind. I’ve been so caught up lately that I’ve neglected my spiritual side (and I’m reffering to religion here) and I really nedeed to rekindle my interest for certain things. Once the doors opened, a lot of thoughts came rushing in…thoughts I’ve missed and thoughts I know will take me far.
