i went to church today like any good Catholic girl should on Ash Wednesday and i was half convinced that the holy water was going to burn me when i touched it to bless myself. I keep going back on forth on religion, the whole idea and general practice of any organized religion bothers for several reason. The idea of god is also up in the air for me also. i think people believe and use the name of god and their religion to justify whatever purpose suits their need both good and bad. At the same time i think that faith can be an important thing in the lives of some people but when people say they will leave it 'up to god' it bothers me when people leave there lives to this omniscient god that may or may not exist. I feel that we are wholly responsible for the way our lives turn out and god as nothing to do with it.
But its is the season of lent and have been catholic way to long not to take notice, so for lent i am giving up a thing or two like sex and I am trying to be less bitchy and find some spiritual meaning
I am out Aeschylus is calling my name.
