5 Reasons Your Religion Sucks – Series

Does your religion suck?

Almost everything we do in life gets some kind of influence or resistance from some religion on this planet. “Do this, do that, avoid this, never do that!”

Well, after years of being exposed to different kinds of religions and the warnings that each one carries, it is time to look at the different things in religions that do not make any sense. From illogical claims to hypocritical behavior, almost every religion in this world has some kind of an evil manipulation or plan going on that makes many people ignore the entire idea of religions. You can keep on believing any religion you already follow, because this article focuses on your religion, and not you.

The best thing to do when figuring out why religions can be the way they are is to ignore the people who may support such religions, and instead focus on the religious ideas themselves. Because in the end, it is the ideas and concepts that should be analyzed more than human beings when it comes to evil things.

Did Buddha promote the sucky idea of Karma that we have today?

Everyday, billions of people around the world wake up and reflect upon their actions from the previous day. Those actions, for such people, constitutes how their new day will end up like. It is an interesting concept, giving the impression that your actions from yesterday can define your today. In reality, however, it appears that this interesting concept, called Karma, actually tells people like you and me that our actions will always dictate what happens to us, that our fate is sealed, and that we can do nothing in life except to obey Karma.

Well, after seeing a lot of illogical assumptions in Karma that focus around the idea of a human being not questioning the idea of Karma, I would like to invite you to see what Karma actually teaches. Maybe Siddhartha, or Buddha the jolly good rounded statue outside many restaurant that many of you notice, actually thought of different things about Karma than what we know. After all, did he not ignore the idea that his fate was written down as a prince in order to come up with the new jelly good ideas of Buddhism and Karma?

I Stopped Eating Dead Meat This Week

I stopped eating meat this week. What are you eating?

Earlier this week I was introduced to a link by @Aazzure, or Azure, on Twitter. Azure usually shares very awesome videos with me that focus around the concept of life, today’s societies, the world we live in, how we really live, and other similar things.

Well, the link Azure introduced this time focused around animals. I clicked the link and saw that a video, almost around 2 hours long, start playing on a site titled “EARTHLINGS.” I immediately clicked the main home page link on that site to check summarized info somewhere so that I could know what was playing instead of watching the entire thing first. Well, the home page itself started playing a short trailer. The trailer was around 2 minutes long, I think. 1 minute and 24 seconds into the trailer, if I remember correctly, I made the most drastic decision of my life. It was June 8th, 2010.

I decided to stop eating meat.

Why do you sympathize with suicide attempts only if they involve celebrities?

Halle Berry - She attempted suicide in 1996

Halle Berry attempted suicide in 1996

Life. Many seem to have it. Many more seem to want it. And many seem to let go of it. Suicide. Suicide is a word that is feared by many people. Even though suicide may take more courage and energy than the lifetime struggles of a person, suicide is usually seen in the Western parts of the world as being one of the last, cowardly resorts to give up the idea of dealing with hardships in life.

Today I want to bring up the question of how we deal with someone who has attempted suicide. To be precise, I want you to think about your behavior over celebrities attempting suicide. Why do you, or others, sympathize with celebrities who try to commit suicide, and why do you, or others, laugh, ridicule and classify as psychotic almost all the non-celebrities who try to commit suicide?

Is a suicide attempt by a celebrity different from other suicide attempts? Do you treat celebrities who attempted suicide the same way you would treat a non-celebrity hospital patient who attempted suicide? Why, and why not?

Why do we frown over suicide in general?

Today and tonight, millions of people across the world will be getting ready for a job interview tomorrow. You yourself may be thinking of your next job, or thinking of your performance at your existing place of work. At the same time, you may probably be wondering as to how a future interviewer, employer, or an existing employer may view your job integrity based on how you act outside of work. In today’s world, where the online activities seems to be slowly getting more attention than life itself in several circles, many people say that it is important for you to realize how your online activities can hurt your existing or future job opportunities. I want to ask you if you think employers and interviewers should pay any attention to your online social profiles which reside outside of your work.

Having more disagreeing friends than friends who agree with you can be better

By Bes Zain in General 7 Comments

Many of us have them. Many of us want them. I am talking about friends. Usually, people consider others who agree with them a lot to be their good friends. In my view, we should have friends whether or not they agree with what we think. In fact, I would suggest having more friends who disagree with you than friends who agree with you on most things. Considering someone a good or trustworthy person simply because they agree with you a lot means you do not like people who have the strength to tell you that you may be wrong.

Begging for money while listening to your iPod

By Bes Zain in General 5 Comments

People usually make money through two ways. One is through work, and the other is through asking for money. Working usually requires working for a specific task and getting compensation in return. Asking for money usually occurs when one asks someone for money. One is usually borrowing money when asking for it from others. People tend to think that borrowing money is justified simply because of the severity of a situation. Many people do not stop to think that the assets they already have can be sold for cash, like laptops, iPods, or even small things like watches. People are not willing to part with these expensive things simply because of the convenience of having them, yet they expect others to make a sacrifice by giving them money.
