GOD

Does GOD exist?
Well I always thought that God did exist. I thought he existed primarily because I was raised Catholic and I went to Church twice a week; listening to people try to prove his existence. I guess deep down I do believe there is a God. I try to make myself feel comfortable, knowing that I go somewhere when I die; hopefully all this being nice does me some good in the end. But when I really think about it and analyze with reasons why I think he exists; all I can come up with is that he does.
I'm sure there could be reasons to explain the beginning of man but I like the belief that one man created all this. Science could be the more logical explanation. For me, it's the unexplained that makes it more real for me. My belief is that science cannot come up with something such as the soul. The soul is where you love and where all your emotions come into play but where did that all come from? My quick answer would be I cannot explain it so it must be God. The unconditional love I feel for my children is an act of God. The heartache my sister feels from a failed relationship is an act of God.





There is good and bad in everyone but as the bible says that the good is from God. God and the devil are at battle for your soul. I think that the devil would exist as well because there is evil. If there is good then there is a God. Everything is all worked out to balance everything. There are so many things in this life that is full of beauty and divinity. There are also things in this world that are so evil and condemed that there would be no other explanation that the devil exists. For the devil to exist, God would have to exist as well.
I do believe, to a certain extent, in science. But nothing is fully certain with it. If it was proven that God did not exist and that we all evolved from a single cell then of course everyone's perception would change. As for now, I believe that what is unexplained is the work of God. No one can prove that he does not exist. Just like I cannot prove he does.
With all that being said and a lot of confusion, I can say the bible says God exists. I am a religious person. Religious people believe strongly in the existence of God. Therefore, I believe strongly in the existence of God.

Marijuana legalization?

The legalization of marijuana for recreational use I think should not happen. My reasons behind this is purely for the sake of human anatomy or science. It is known that marijuana kills your brain cells but gives you a euphoric feeling and that could be one of the reasons it is highly used; other than it being addictive. If marijuana is legalized than what would the world be like for a day?

If everyone could get there hands on this drug than maybe the world would shift into madness. All I see is people getting high and not caring about what is going on; which could be the ultimate reason why people get high.If everyone got high, then there would definitely be a shortage of food supply. There would be a decline in I.Q levels. Everything would be chaotic; and the drug dealers would be the one getting paid. Marijuana being used for recreation is not only unethical but stupid. I'm thinking about how many young adolescents who could get hooked on this drug and try to spend the rest of their life as a recovering addict. The high feeling could lead to someone who cannot control their actions and lead to very deep problems.

But then again i could be looking at this all wrong. Marijuana is used to help with health problems today, and maybe could benefit some how in the future. If marijuana is legalized then there could be more jobs for the working man. You never know that maybe there would be less conflicts to be resolved because everyone has other things on their mind. Now, we have alcohol available; it is legal in most states. Where alcohol is legal not everyone is an alcoholic, so if marijuana was legalized then there's a good chance that not everyone would be addicted.

I really cannot say if i am for or against. At least not now, but if maybe the tables turn and it was my own kids or the younger generation in my family doing any form of marijuana I'd have a stronger stand point. But right now it's just up in the air. I could go for or against because the things I presented, I think, make a good argument. And that's pretty much it on that subject.

Homosexuality?

What do I think of homosexuality?
The first thought that comes to my head is I'm okay with it. I do not have a problem simply because I think I have no right to judge anyone; to judge them of their lifestyle or what they do in their bedroom. What people do in their bedroom is their own business. A few people in class disagreed to the thought of homosexuality to be okay. It came to my attention that it seemed to be males; I think that this is because the thought of two gay men shows to not be masculine. I don't think it's their fault either for thinking this way; I think like when said in class that it's the portrayal of homosexuality in the media that gets everyone at unease with the topic; it's just the age and period of our generation. During the Greek periods, the male body was what they portrayed as beautiful and a lot of the men back then were bisexuals; they simply got married for reproduction; the female body, i guess you could say, was the way we see the male body nowadays.
On my part I just think you cannot pick who you love, and personally I think that that is the ultimate reason why someone could be gay or lesbian; it's who they are attracted to. To see my view, take into consideration that I'm a female, most females are hopeless romantics. I know not everyone can see my point of view but it just don't bother me. LIVE AND LET LIVE!!
Switch the situation up. How would it be if someone was giving me trouble for being in a heterosexual relationship? Think about it. A lot of perceptions have changed since the Greek periods.
