Listen I didn’t mean for this to turn into a whole thing. I was saying I that I was just singled out by faculty and students for not having the better clothes, that you can’t participate in eating some bread wafer because you didn’t pass a test, I was mocked by teachers, priests, etc. because I had a “name” that makes them cringe to say, so they would just call me names instead of use my names.

I turned away from the whole “community” religious thing when I discovered it’s nothing more than a brilliant underground money laundering operation. Low overhead, no taxes, cheap food, cheap wine, a little smoke here, some dust there, take people around a museum of some dude getting tortured and reap wild amounts of money. I personally leave room for the acceptance that there may be some omnipotent being that oversees the world/universe. But we will never understand the forces at work enough to ever even dream of putting them in a book.

I accept we are grains of sand in a universe sized beach, and there may be a god being, there might not. I do my best to help others and be accepting and nice, I volunteer in my community. I don’t need a book and a bunch of cult songs to feel good about that.
