What do I think of religion? Religion is complicated, definitely not easy but completely worth it. I was brought up in a household that was split down the middle - Catholic and Baptist don't seem to mix well in my head but my parents have made it work. I grew up going to church every Sunday and Bible study was also a weekly occurrence. My religion, personally, is Christian. I could go further and note that I was baptized into the Baptist church but now am "non-denominational" ... whatever that means exactly. I know that I believe in God. That He is my Lord and Savior and sent His sons to pay for my sins. He made the ultimate sacrifice so I did not have to spend an eternity in hell. That is really all there is to it when you simplify things. Everyone tries to make things so complicated nowadays. People have mega churches, don't want to be tied to a particular denomination or say they aren't religious but spiritual - all in all if you believe then you believe and the rest of it doesn't matter. If you don't ... well, I will be praying for you. 


A few thoughts on politics.
1. People base their views on politics [generally] by what they were raised and what their parents thought.
2. People [generally] can't seem to have conversations about politics with those who are from a different party without the conversation getting heated.
3. Knowing what you are talking about when someone asks you about politics can make you look very intelligent.
4. No one really knows what the shit they are talking about. Promises are made, money keeps being printed, soldiers are sent all over the world ... all while the President is playing golf.
