This has been a really weird day. I have had the weirdest conversations with people. Last night Sally Jo and I were actually talking about the way the world works. She said to me that I should write a book on philosophy all because I made the comment that "That you could change the circumstance, but never change the outcome." That is just my belief. It is important to understand that, no matter what you try to change the Universe will realign to produce the outcome.
That is not saying that you cannot change the outcome ever. The Universe is merely a vessel. You have to fill it with your desires. The Universe responds to what you want, regardless you think it will or not. So if you are distressed and complaining you are basically asking for more of that. Have you ever noticed the people who the most negative in the world always have the worst luck? Yeah…This is all actually outlined in the book The Secret. Although, this is something that I have been taught my whole life. Someone actually wrote about it.
The other part I started talking about religion with my friend TT. Well, I have never understood the whole belief that if you are not my religion then you are wrong. What is that about? If you study any religion you will notice that they are all very similar. The Eightfold Path in Buddhism is close to the Ten Commandments. The laws of the Torah are similar to the Law in the Karan. So there can be a belief that all of these religions are fundamentally the same.
Then we had the infamous conversation on Homosexuality. Now, I do not believe in Gay Marriage. Let me explain. I believe that we should have the same rights as any other couple under the law. I believe that Marriage is an intuition of the Church. Since I believe that we should separate church from state, then the aspect of Marriage as an institution of the church should not be regulated by the state.
I do believe that we should have the right to have a civil union with the same rights under the law as married couples. However, are you going to love your partner any less because your commitment is called a civil union instead of a marriage? Yeah…I didn't think so.
Then we talked about people who use their religion as way to condemn others. All I have to ask is who are you to judge me?
So finally, I was reading a friends blog about Twilight. I know nothing about the book, but she really made a really great point…"if you could live forever, what would you live for?" WOW! Really what would you live for? Let me know!
XOXO,
Stupid Boi

Interesting stuff you write about here ... makes you think about things and ponder the existence of it all! You are very insightful dear Patricio! ;-) I think religion in general is merely that, religion. For me, I'd like to believe that we all believe in something greater than us. For me personally, I believe that Jesus came to this earth and died for you and I. He came as a man, but He came and didn't speak judgment to the world ... He came and spoke love to the world. He loved people right where they were at, whether they were prostitutes, homosexuals, thieves, murderers, etc. He loved them and through His love, he brought hope to a dying world. And, despite what the world has done to those 'beliefs' of mine, I believe that through it all, we can be that for others, and simply love them, right where they're at, no matter their past, no matter their color, their creed, culture, or sexual preference. Anyway, just my two-sense ... I love what you have to say, so please keep saying it!!! You're awesome and amazing!!
