319: RELIGION AND THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE – We do not choose our Religion; it is forced upon us by the circumstances and the geographical location of our birth(s).

12 July, 2008

RELIGION AND THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE – We do not choose our Religion; it is forced upon us by the circumstances and the geographical location of our birth(s).

It just so happens that we are born in such and such a place (city, town, or village), in such and such an area, in such and such a country, where such and such a Religion is practised. That's all.

So, it is my contention and my belief that there ought to be an international law that states, clearly and concisely, that every APE can and shall have the right to choose ITS own religion, or refuse to practise any religion, only when IT is 21 years of age. In other words; no APE shall claim or practise any Religion until that APE is 21 years old, and only after IT has studied all the Religions available and are being sold in the markets of delusions, cooked in confusions, spiced with illiteracy and ignorance, and supported by poverty and squalor born of populations!

Frankly, I do not see or understand the present highly silly, stupid, ludicrous, ridiculous, and absolutely hopeless, unfair, and preposterous situation in which, or law which states: no APE can or shall vote until and unless IT is 21 years old – the simple and trifle right, choice, and act of choosing another APE to rule, lead, help, or guide it; and which eventually dupes, cheats, cons, lies to, manipulates and exploits, and robs IT – and yet IT has a very serious, dangerous, illusive, imaginative, mythical, unrealistic, illogical, superstitious, xenophobic, contagious and confusing thing like RELIGION – which is composed of a collection or bunch or series and mixture of several lies, myths, and hoaxes – forced down ITS throat; so to speak. Read: 116

Imagine: a baby is born; and before IT opens ITS eyes, IT is THIS or THAT sect of THIS or THAT RELIGION! Even before IT is born (JEEZ), ITS sect of THIS or THAT RELIGION is already settled and in motion! Come to think of it; even before IT is conceived, and even before ITS parents get married, or whatever, and perform the act – or commit the sin – that results in ITS conception! JEEZ AGAIN! I ASK YOU!

Poor baby; for the rest of ITS life, it will hear the yapping and yelling and braying and cursing and FARTING of those around IT! AND! IT grows up to learn how to yap, yell, bray, and FART; and improves on them and enhances them, too, to boot! IT never had a chance or a choice! BY GOD! From the moment IT opens ITS eyes and begins to wail; and later begins to utter a few words; and much later begins to go through ITS infant-hood, then childhood, adolescence, and on to adult-hood – and even on to death – IT is stuck with it, unless IT decides to convert to another sect of another Religion, when IT is old (but not wise) enough to do so.

Like my late beloved Mama would say: “Why bother? I mean; what’s the difference? If IT remains what IT is or converts to another, it won’t make any difference in ITS way of life since neither the one nor the other will let IT practise whatever sect of whatever Religion properly – or as it should be practised. Also, the followers of the new will scorn IT for abandoning ITS faith, and the followers of the old will hate IT for deserting theirs. If there is GOD, I believe that HE will not seek thy name, nor will HE ask thy birth. HE will demand of thee: WHAT HAST THOU DONE ON EARTH?”

And before I could say anything, she would add: “In the end, it’s not WHO you or your parents were, or WHAT your sect or Religion was, or WHERE you came from, or HOW you came; it’s WHAT you did along the way!”

I tell you; there ought to be an international law!

I am a Maronite Christian, but not by choice. Thank God! A Maronite Christian – whatever that means – BULL-SHIT; if you ask me! I wish someone would explain it to me; then I could look for someone else to explain the explanation.

Also, if this is MARONITE PRESIDENCY and/or LEADERSHIP, then I would rather be a native of the most primitive tribe in the most remote village in Africa!

And I mean it, too! BY GOD! By the way; I know you know I know you know I know you know that my late beloved Mama is I, myself, and me. BY GOD; ONE LAST TIME, BUT ONLY FOR NOW!
