O. My. God.

I'm not sure how I ended up being me. 

Let me splain...

I am addicted to Facebook.  And, over the past few months it seems as though there's been this surge of my family members and friends joining.

And, I am, sooooo not a Christian.  And they sooooo are!  I mean, fanatical Jesus freaks!

Don't get me wrong, I think everyone is entitled to believe whatever they choose...

But, sometimes I don't think it's a choice, so much as a "myth" that's been told over and over and over again so that people don't choose, they just follow blindly. 

These people actually BELIEVE this stuff? 

I know it's a touchy subject. 

I believe in Jesus.  I think he was the most brilliant man who ever walked the face of the earth.  I don't know that I believe he was created because a god decided to impregnate his mother so that 30 years down the road some assholes could nail him to a board, and in that he would, "die for our sins".  Holy crap!  Really?

Back to the point...

My family, on my father & my mother's side are religious.  Every day they post something new about God and his blessings and miracles.  I guess if that works for them...why should I complain?

This is why I complain...because today a cousin of mine posted a picture of a baby who had supposedly been aborted.  (It was some sort of anti abortion campaign poster.)

I will never understand this practice.  Christians posting pics of dead bloody babies?  What's the point?  I just don't get it.

I don't think that abortion should be a means of birth control.  I mean, if you are out carelessly and irresponsibly screwing and you get pregnant, shame on you.  But I also don't think, that a baby should be born to a person/people who don't want them and who will just abandon or abuse them. 

I know...it's one of those debates that the general public will never see eye to eye on...but I just don't think we need these graphic pics to make a point.
