NOT THE CHILDERN!

I believe in the freedom of practicing any religion you want. I also think its go its good for parents to teach their children about their religion because it is a good way to see where their family values come from, or help them learn about their heritage. There is something I have a problem with, and that is forcing the religion on children. I do't think its right to force anything one anyone (well except prison on criminals) but I think its even worse when done to a child. They are innocent and curious about the world. If you limit their view to that of your religion , you are taking away certain experiences from them. Let them live, let them see what else is out there to believe in that is safe. And if they ask questions about different religions, try your best to give them unbiased information on it. And even if you don't know too much about it, look it up with them and learn with them. Maybe there are some new things you can learn that with open you're eyes to different religions and beliefs. I just hate seeing a child forced into something they don't believe in.I'm happy that my mom accepts my take on religion which allows me to be more comfortable with her and helps her see how I view things. I just want people to be more open with this and help children explore their options.(and maybe do a little exploring themselves.)

oh , and this is just an image or a quote that I think say all this, just shorter and more brash.    

Random movie review

Friday the 13th. We have all heard this, whether it's referring to an unlucky day, or the long series of movies focused around the masked mass murderer, Jason Voorhees. I love horror movies and I've seen every Friday the 13th movie (including Freddy vs Jason). But for this review I am going to focus on the tenth film, Jason X. Jason X, directed by James Isaac and staring Lexa Doig, Lisa Ryder, Chuck Campbell, Johnathan Potts, and Kane Hodder.  So the beginning of movie takes place in 2008, which is 5 years after Freddy vs Jason. Jason has been captured by the U.S government and has survived every death penalty hes was subjected to. it 2010 scientist thought that if they can't kill him, they'll just freeze him.Before they get the chance to freeze him, he breaks out and starts killing the guards. One of the agents, Rowan(Lexa Doig) was able to lock Jason in a stasis capsule. However, during the freezing process, Jason was able to stab Rowan in the gut through the capsule. This released the freezing liquid into the room, which froze them both.

The rest of the movie takes place in year 2455 when both Jason and Rowan are found by a team of scientist.When they are both brought on the space ship and unfrozen, Jason starts killing everyone on the ship.But one of the crew had a robot assistant (turn love interest, kind of weird) and he suits her up for battle. She then blows Jason apart, but he is reconstructed by nanobots into a cyborg like being. Ill end the summary here because I think if you want to know what ridiculousness happens next, you should see it. I mean i think the movie was bad, cheesy and had those generic horror movie stereotypes. I mean it did have good effects for when it was made but, that's all that was good about it. The movies itself was bad (third lowest grossing Friday the 13th  film) but its is funny to watch with friends and joke around. I give it a 4 out of 10.  

same-sex marriage

Same-sex marriage is a big topic now of days. Different religions have different views on the subject. However most of the religions don’t approve of same sex marriage.  Ill provide a little background on some religions and how they handle the topic.

In Islam same-sex marriage isn’t seen as an ok thing. Islam defines marriage as an exchange between two parties of protection and security for exclusive sexual and reproductive rights. Through this definition, same-sex couples do not have the right to marry under the Islamic faith. In Liberal Buddhism there is no opinion on same-sex marriage. Buddha was neither for nor against same sex marriage, so same sex couples can live the lives they want and still be active in Buddhism. In Christianity same-sex marriage is seen as a sin by the many of the followers. Some Christian groups do except same-sex marriage but it is still a big issue.

My view on same-sex marriages is that it should be allowed. If that’s what makes that person happy let them do it. It’s not hurting anyone, and if it bothers you, that’s because you’re letting it bother you.  

Let Me Make a Correction

I just need to make a correction in my previous post. After a talk with my friend , and fellow blogger, James(Not For The Faint Of Heart) he informed me that I'm agnostic, not atheist. Being atheist means that you don't believe in any god(s) or and higher power. An agnostic is someone that is open to the possibility of there being some kind of higher power, but believe that it is impossible to be certain.
   I think that there might be some kind of higher power that kick started everything. I just don't think any specific rules were left behind for all of us to follow. Some people limit their lives from new experiences just to follow these rules so they can be rewarded in an afterlife that they can't even be certain exist. I don't want to limit my life to rules from books write by people from more that 2000 years ago, and that's my choice. For those who follow those books, that's theirs choice and i while respect their choice as long as they respect mine.
