Religious Dependency Issues, Anyone?

Well, I thought I'd be blogging a lot more with this blog, but I really haven't had much time or honestly, many ideas. I finally found something that grabbed my attention and made me shake my head. In order for this entry to make any sense, you must first follow the link I will provide. It is to a "fan page" on Facebook. At the time of writing this, I had a link to the page on here, but the link has since expired or somehow changed. Damn internet magic. Anyways, the fan page was something along the lines of "I live for Jesus Christ because he is the light, the truth, yada yada yada." Something about living your life for Jesus, an unseen being who lives in the sky, mind you.

I see a sort of dependency issue with this "fan page." So many people "live" for Christ, or God, or whatever religious following they may choose. My question is, what about yourself? What about your friends, your family? Even your personal belongings! Things that you can see, feel and know are real. Should you not live for the things that are actually tangible and that you are able to lose? Why pledge your undying loyalty to something or someone that will "always be there?" I never seemed to understand it too well. It seems very counter-productive in a society where it is hard to put food on the table, and we have devote Christians and Catholics giving a shit load of their money to the church in the name of Jesus, because I guess this is how you live for Christ, by feeding the greedy hands of the churches.

This one isn't nearly as good as my first entry, I know. I've been not quite myself lately, so this stuff you call thinking and rationalizing is becoming quite a chore for me lately. I want to try and write some more stuff. So if you read this and would like my opinion on an issue or topic, please suggest it via the comments or even on Facebook! I appreciate the read, for anyone who actually reads this!

I apologize if you find this image is offensive, but it's kind of the truth.

And I found a topic of discussion for my next entry, but it's a secret! Don't refrain from asking me questions or making suggestions though! They are welcome!
