Today I went on a great walk with my dad- the sun was just going down and we went around all 3 lakes by our house. We didn't run but we kept up the pace and everything was awesome. Then we got home and suddenly we were in a great big huge debate thing about religion.
Then somehow it ended up with my brother involved and we were talking about mutilation of baby genitals. (aka religious circumcision) EWWW
Now I'm angry and depressed and I don't want to do anything other than sit in my dark basement drinking hot water and talk with my boyfriend. Except he's far away right now in another timezone- and I don't want to bother my friends with this. I'm just so frustrated now.
Here's what I think: if my religion doesn't hurt me, or anyone else (inhuman treatment of animals included) and it doesn't try to stop science from making the world a better place then why do you have to put it down? If your religion does the same thing then why should I put yours down?
I don't agree with people who say science can't do this or shouldn't be taught in school because of religion. And I don't agree with the religious fanatics who want to (or do) kill people over religion. But that doesn't make everyone who is religious a bad person. There are fanatics in every walk of life- and they are not a good thing. But that doesn't mean everyone who does something is a crazed fanatic.
And please, stop asking me about circumcision.
The worst part about all of this? Now I'm really depressed and I don't want to do my workout.... >x'(
