LIFE'S SACRED

First rant, sorry thoughts for this year. A few days ago, I met and chatted with a friend about his thoughts about Life. A Little thing I know he’s a Christian. A Catholic to be exact – I first thought of him as a protestant or some other religious denomination but he admittedly that he’s a strong Catholic believer and a tad practices the tradition. So, we discussed the meaning of life and we had fun what life has brought to this world. The climate changed when he mentioned that God made everything so we can enjoy life. Oh wait, he just said God made everything so we can enjoy it? Who said it, Bible? Oh yeah, the bible said that life is God’s gift and it is sacred. I said to myself, “Interesting thoughts because everything you said is actually coming from the book and the people who wrote it.” I asked him, how did you come up with that summary? He said God did! With his enthusiastic way of saying. Hah, bless your heart. – sarcastically saying it to him. So, he asked me what life is. Oh wait, he just asked me what life means. Well, I’m not good at defining what life means but I gave him something that he will think about. My friend, I respect your beliefs and sorts and there is nothing I can do to dissuade you from learning things in this world. He said, ok, smartass. What are your thoughts? My dear friend, don’t get angry or think of me as a stranger to your beliefs because all I have to say to you is my own personal views. I may have added some from other people I met but these are my own conclusion. Let me explain why I don’t believe that god gave us life and by giving it is, sacred. It’s a gift but when god said it’s sacred, I don’t think that’s accurate. I’ll give you some ideas. When the first chapter of the bible says how life came. He saw it was beautiful and he made everything and god were happy. As the story continues, God was mad. He saw people – his creation, are wicked and corrupt. So what he did? Killed them, drown them, gave sickness, killed babies [first born] because people doesn’t believe in Him. Did God say its sacred, correct? So, where is sacredness in there when He himself breaks the rules? People rape, rob, murder, terrorizes people and all he did is sit down and watch. Killed mosquitoes, we swatted flies on our food, stepped on roaches, shoot some ducks for gaming, hunt boars, and other animals. Those are the life I mentioned – but we kill mosquitoes because they are pests. Stepped on roaches because they are pests, slaughtered cows and pigs for food – don’t they have a life? A scared life of their own?  Here’s more… tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes and all calamities we see now! Did he bring all those things correct? And yet, He loves you and everything he did in the name of “life is sacred”. How bipolar is that? Have people Freewill? That’s a myth. God didn’t give that – we made that up. Everything you decide is not “Freewill” but your CHOICE. People wrote the bible because they have the ability to think and brains to made things. If we go by the book, I mean the bible, we all be wearing long clothing and probably don’t have cars to use. But our brains are more than capable of making things possible and a controlling factor. Life is only sacred when you use the bible but when people made some mistakes, it’s god’s will. People die because it’s god’s will. Babies born because it’s god’s will. He kills, he gave life, he kills again… where is sacredness in that equation? Life is not sacred but an imposed creation of man not by some holy entity. Time and time again, people obeyed what the bible said and the fact was, those “geniuses” who wrote the book, are needy indoctrination. When you think about your life, think of it as a gift given by your parents. Don’t think otherwise.
