Today, i noticed one of the side effects of all the medication i took(had fever, flu, cough and possibly bronchitis).

I lost my sense of taste...
not sure which of the medication i took actually did it but yeah... i definitely lost my sense of taste...

I HOPE IT'S NOT PERMANENT! or i will be a sad person....

Remember...

I removed about 20 people from my Flist for the following reasons:
- no updates for way too long (usually more then a year)
- drifted and i don't see a point of keeping an inactive account on my Flist.
- deactivated accounts
- people i don't talk to so no point keeping them in the know

If u stalk my LJ and think you still want to be kept on my Flist for whatever reason.
drop me a msg and we'll talk.

as much as it sucks.

i think i manage to hit a new low recently in my life.

so apparently i have not yet hit rock bottom and therefore there is the possibility that my life could suck more before anything good starts happening.

either way, my life will be exactly how i imagined it would be(hell on earth) or it would be a pleasant surprise if things get better.

thank god for good old cynicism practical logic.

I am the motherfucking zen G-level retired legendary troll king that know all the fucking shit that any noob troll will try.

I saw this article on CNN about the "dangers" of being spiritual but not religious.

I agree with many point raised but i also disagree with most of what is said.
and i will address them one by one.

===

You do not need or require a religious community to put demands on you to help the poor or to do "good", this thinking is flawed. If it was simply required of an individual to do good so that they are allowed into heaven/nirvana, then everyone would be there and there will be no hell; everyone does some good in their lives but i personally believe that the intention of doing good should be important, not the amount of effort or frequency. No amount of "demanding" can force good intentions into one's actions for being "good", most especially not so to gain brownie points to gain entry into heaven/nirvana.

If i were to do "good" regularly by donating to charity(to help the poor, to save lives, etc etc) but my intentions are for tax reliefs and because it is demanded by my ruling religious body. does this mean i am "good"? Should i be allowed a VIP reservation in heaven/nirvana?? I do not think so.

===

I think the main reason why all those religious bodies are worried because there are people out there who are wising up to the limitations and of having a religion as well as being fustrated over the dated rules which governs a religion, rules which belong with the fossils.

For example, a muslim man may marry a woman who is not muslim provided she converts and she is a woman of the book(jewish, catholic, christian? I am unable to verify if this is true) but a muslim woman may not do the same(marrying a man from a different faith).

The reasoning for such rules which governs a religion is based on stone age sexism which implies that a woman have no deciding power or a mind of her own and she lives in constant danger of being swayed by her spouse in matters to do with religion.

The same goes for other religion where they govern and control ridiculous parts of an individual life based on social dynamics which existed hundreds and thousands of years ago. Times change and people evolved but most religions are unchanged relics unable to adapt, allowing rules of darwinism to take over and endanger their existence which is evident in their worries of this "movement" of being SBNR.

I certainly do not want some religious man in a funny hat or fancy uniform telling me that i cannot love or marry a certain woman because she is not of the faith or demands that she has to convert because if god is so all knowing and powerful and i was meant to be with someone of the same faith, my lover/future wife would be born and raised of the same religion and beliefs as i am. Proving that god is perfect, and thus his plans for me are perfect and without flaws.

In a way, i view such rules as indications which the religious body itself is unsure of their faith. How can people who are insecure over their faith even begin to lead me spiritually?

===

I cannot deny that there are dangers when you take matters into your own hand because not everyone is capable of thinking for themselves and sticking to a set of principles. Therefore requiring rules and guidance which a religious body provides. But that in itself poses many other dangers(e.g religious fanaticism, discrimination, etc etc)

but that said, religion is not hard, because if an individual decides to base his life on a set of principles be it from the teachings of whatever faith or personal choosing which for all intentions are based on common goodness and not promoting chaos and violence, it becomes a natural lifestyle of the mind. It will come as easily as breathing.

To me it does not bother me what shape or name a god has or what specific places of worship i go to pray. I will enter a church, mosque or temple and give my uttermost respects there and pray. I however will not stand being pressured by human means into any particular religion.

I believe in god, that is undeniable but i do not trust the human individuals who tell me what god wants of me because humans are capable of malice, wrongs and lies. The article calls me and others like me "spiritual but not religious" but i beg to differ because we are religious; it is just that we don't solely believe in the god they believe in.

===

Ending words:
I am not against any religion nor did i wrote this with the intention of bashing/insulting any religion.

This are my personal thoughts on the subject of religion as a whole. I am not out to sway or throw anyone's beliefs in the gutter.

That said, if a person's faith is so easily shaken by a few words from me. That person may have to reevaluate his or her own beliefs.

I realize i don't blog as often as i do before.

maybe it's because i now get to vent my randomest thoughts in short bursts through twitter and FB status updates.

but, that is only for open materials i don't give a shit abt other people finding out.

LJ still gets my most "scandalous" stories XD

I need to figure out a way to sync twitter with LJ tho...

i wonder if it's because i got into events
that i trained myself to be chill about everything.

at the very least.
chill on the outside while seething inside.

Flesh mask FTW.

ok like a few hours ago. i woke up with an intense "i MUST eat burgers!" feeling.

the best part is. i was craving burgers i've never tasted before.

burgers from whitecastle, wendy's, jack in the box and In-and-Out.

i was practically drooling when i think of a nice "the works" steak burger from aussie

oh....
protein in a bun... why you taunt me so?
is it because i ate some beef(noodle) yesterday after day/weeks of not touching any beef???

MEH!
