The last few hours my mind has been so caught up in this blog on Myspace called "God Is Imaginary." I think I've established that I'm not a Christian who criticizes and judges other people and religions. I respect everything. All views, everythings fair game to me. I love, don't hate. I have my views on religion and you have yours. But this blog just seems to attack Christianity over and over and over again. I don't mind if you don't believe in God or any other religion, I respect that. This blog just seems to lack respect. It's criticizing the faith, but what my whole thing about it is that it attacks the people.
I've gave my thoughts on how the media portratys Christians as hating "Repent now or go to hell" people, and how its not like that at all and real Christians are supposed to love, respect and help.
The world lacks respect. It seems to be a human nature when someone tells us not to do something
we turn right around and do exactly that.Respect is all about co-existing. Co-existence doesn't
mean attacking people of a faith. Don't get your opinions of a whole group of people from what the media or one bad church The media is overstepping it's boundaries, attacking and making false claims based on a small group, without looking at it as a whole.
Im not asking you to find a religion or something to believe in. Anything you believe I respect. I just
ask everyone to respect each other and co-exist. Respect your family, your friends, your teachers,
or anyone else who you come across in life. If someone sets boundaries, don't step over them.
You would'nt want anyone disrespecting you. If a friend of yours asks you not to do something bad that you know is going to happen, find it in your heart to show your friend that you love them and respect that decision. Peace happens through respect, respect happens when we can co-exist. Then maybe when we find peace with each other we can find the love for each other.

005. Awareness
So in my 2nd block today I was browsing around blogger to find interesting stuff to read.
And I came across this blog:
http://gaza-sderot.blogspot.com/
Its a blog that 2 people contribute to. One lives in the Gaza strip, the other lives in Isreal.If you're aware what is going on over there you would know both of those areas are involved in very heavy violence right now. Both of these guys see the reality of what is happening over there. Both of them have settled there views and have agreed on one thing. They want peace.
Here is an excerpt from one blog:
"On Saturday a rocket hit with no warning. The blast was massive and the alert did not work this time. I got to the place which was about 300 meters from our home and a large crowd, police and ambulances were already there. The rocket fell on a side walk several meters from 2 kids that were injured. The younger kid (8) was severely hit and his leg had to be amputated."
Our understanding that we cannot wait for our leaders to solve our problems for us and that if any change is to happen it will happen from us, the civilians.
These 2 guys are different but share one common ground, peace. They've started a petition to put a end to this violence for one month, in hopes that talks will occur between the 2 countries and lead to peace. Please sign this petition and help bring the peace that these guys want to the world. Here is the link:

So many people are not aware of what goes on in the world. We always see it on the news and tv. But the media portrays war with casualities stats. A persons life is worth far more than just a number. The media doesn't show you the part of war like these guys see. The media doesn't show you war from these guys perspective.
I wish everyone would start thinking for there selfs. And stop letting the media and friends dictate what they should think. Start becoming aware of what is happening in the world. The world is our group. Our group is suffering. We need to do a better job of showing perspectives like these. We need to change our government leaders perspectives of the world. Think for yourself. And if you are human, you will do what is right.
