Religiosity
Religiose: adjective

(From Encarta)
I as well as a legion of children from the early ages were taken to church against their own will, why? Because their parents and their parents, parents were all subjected to blind faith. It's very hard to break the cycle. This cycle comes down to one word. Fear. Fear that God will strike down on them. It's not easy for these devout believers to see outside, and observe the love they have for God. Injected into a beautiful ceremony of prayer is a conflict of ethnic backgrounds and a fierce punishment of the disobedient, thrashed by sadistic people in black and white. I was born into a Catholic family, and attended Catholic grade schools. Forced into something I had no idea about, but this instilled fear that if I didn't attend services, God would punish me. If I didn't behave during services I was beaten severely.
I don't know if you believe everything written in the bible, but I wouldn't believe just in God's words. The Bible is a dual purpose anthology documenting Lucifer's hand in things. I'm not an Atheist, I believe in God, but have my own relationship with him. Christian going people are the most hypocritical people of the masses. These are the people that go to church and raise their hands to touch an entity to enlighten themselves, then go out of their way to gay pride marches and tell them that they are going to hell. Christians huh? It's like "Let there be peace on earth, but I don't want that in my neighborhood" I wouldn't go so far as to blame the homosexuals and whatever problem the Christians can scheme up. I would blame television & the internet. Because everything now is news. Kids hear things, and if they don't get answers from their parents, their gonna get it elsewhere.
I know it's very hard to break away from religousness, cause it's the cornerstone on which your life in confusion was built on. If that's taken away, where do you start. If I told you I had an invisible unicorn at my side you'd think I was nuts. So why should people believe in God when you can't see him either? Children are so afraid of God. Adults when confronted with every natural impulse and sexual desire, they feel dirty and ashamed...why? Brainwashing from day one. Tell me something, in the world today, do you see more peace than destruction?
The other thing that pisses me off is this thing about Christianity that makes me wanna laugh in every Christian's face. Why do have to wrangle up people now? Jehovah's witness coming and bugging the fuck outta people tryna enjoy their weekend. If people want to attend services, they will on their own grounds, because of their devotion to church. I don't think God's all to happy about religious conversion...but then again, he hasn't said shit. There will never be a world as depicted in the magazines they hand with a flick of a wrist. Why? Because there needs to be a balance. I would fucking kill myself if things were too happy and too possitive. I will own every natural instinct I have. I have my own relationship with God, that I need not to bring a priest or street swine in shirt and tie into. I'm becoming more independently minded, and as I tear down the walls that conformity has built around my mother's womb during my time of my gestation, I can touch more things and question with a tone of checkmate in my throat, why?
Conformity is the death of your volition. The spark of realizing that you are free should be owned outright without question. How would you feel if someone told you that you can't listen to a certain type of music, or you can't eat that cause it's not good for you, or you can't wear sunglasses. I don't wanna burst your bubble...I actually do, but gradually. Conformity like Christianity and All Religion is easily likened to Heaven's Gate. A place where you cannot think for yourself. You are told what to eat, where to sit, how to speak, when to speak & so forth. I rebel against all conformity.
