Okay, You Got Me Riled Up

 

Hi everyone. I am not going to mince words; although, my explanation of my own personal feelings may be extremely confuzzled...

I just watched a video of some vagrant, for lack of a politer word, broke into the Vatican and devastates what he finds in St. Peter's Basilica. 

(I DO believe my jaw dropped open).

I will always be up front about this... I am in NO way religious; that does NOT mean I do not respect those I know and love who believe in their god and go to church.

To destroy anyone's place of worship, whether it be a mosque, synagogue, temple or church... there is just someone sacred about those spaces to those people. I mean, nature is my "church" so I am not restricted to any kind of building or man-made area that requires me to be present at any specific time nor day.

The video made me sick. BUT, it also made me feel like this is a bit of KARMIC JUSTICE!!! Here, let me explain...

Christians, Catholics, etc (Those who worship the almighty "God") throughout history have subjected my ancestors to unimaginable torture; vile humiliation and met with death in the most disturbing of ways. They have been burned, beheaded, maimed, drowned and hung, just to name a few... so to see that someone is destroying the "gold" and "wealth" that is held in the Vatican City, isn't as shocking to me as it may be to the next person.

On the other hand... for all I know, this person who decided to destroy things today... How do we know that either he, himself, or his family were not subjected to abuse by the church??? You don't have to look far to find people who were victims of religion. I mean, look at Indigenious people... 

They were beaten by religious freaks, who wanted to beat their culture out of them. They killed innocent children, and their parents who died trying to rescue them from the people who abducted them in an attempt to conform them to the white man's ways.

Shyt, we could even discuss slavery... (Yah, It's best I stop here). OMG, I really need to stop writing now because I am sooooo riled up that I might even imply that I am surprised there was only one person doing this.

Sorry, this blurb went from one extreme to the other. I guess I am not really good at being impartial when it comes to separating the people and the church.

End of rant!!!

It's a Hide Under the Covers Kinda Day

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

FFS I Matter Too!!!

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

Tis the Season.... Why I Am Proud of Local Tattoo Shop!!!

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
