loveforalia:

You know you had a Catholic upbringing when somebody says “May the force be with you” and your instant reaction is to reply with “And also with you”.

Lift up your lightsabers.

We lift them up to the lord.

Let us give thanks to the Force our guide.

It is right to give the Force thanks and praise.

I promise I still care about you guys!

But seriously I have been so busy with school it’s not even funny. I graduate in just over a month, and it’s as if every teacher has decided to assign projects and essays.

Plus I’m pimping myself out (not literally, just on paper) for scholarships (because I’m too middle class for financial aid). And too make things worse, my laptop won’t connect to our new USB modem, which makes it hard to upload confessions. :(

I noticed I’ve lost around ten followers, and I’m not upset at them, but at myself. I should’ve posted a message like this a long time ago, but time has been scarce for me lately. What little spare time I have goes toward homework, applications, and extracurricular activities.

I hope you all aren’t too mad, but please bear with me for some time. I promise this blog will be up and running with new posts and confessions soon!

"When I first heard it was Muslim extremists that had done something like that, my thought, like..."

““When I first heard it was Muslim extremists that had done something like that, my thought, like every other Muslim’s thought, was “These people are not Muslim. Who are these people, where did they come from? I’ve never heard of the Taliban, I’ve never heard of Osama Bin Laden.” They’ve labeled themselves as Muslims. They’re not Muslim. A real Muslim would never do anything like that. This is a religion of peace and the fact that this guy came into the picture and wanted to speak on behalf of all Muslims in the world was terrible. It was the worst feeling, for a Muslim. He ruined it for us. He ruined it for our kids. He made us scared. He made us scared in our own home.””

- Nina Bazzy, All Am erican Muslim (via manesandtales)

Even though this refers to 9/11, I still think it’s relevant considering the Boston Marathon bombings were carried out by EXTREMIST Muslims, and adds salt to the wounds of law-abiding, peace-loving American Muslims.

I really want to be christian and believe in God but I'm afraid I can't. I've met many really narrow-minded christians and they always make me feel like my faith isn't strong enough and I'm not a real christian because I accept things like premarital sex and homosexuals.

Confession - I was raised LDS (mormon) and my mom always told me to be polite to the Jehovah's Witnesses but I could tell she was annoyed. So, I joke about them being annoying sometimes, but I still take their magazines and read them because I understand what it's like to feel that need to share your beliefs. Also I find other religions interesting.

RE: The confession/question about Mormons and JW missionaries: As a devout Latter-day Saint, I would totally LOVE it if some Witnesses knocked on my door and wanted to chat. It would fascinate me. I'd love to be able to better our understandings of each other.

The sickening and sometimes blatantly genocidal views some people including high-ranking politicians have on Islam actually terrify me. I can’t stand the fact that there are so many people out there who see me as oppressed (because I’m female), inherently evil/crazy and a traitor to Western society simply because I found a different way to worship God.

I don't see what Jehovah's Witnesses think they're accomplishing by not celebrating birthdays. -Confession

Confession- I'd rather be a scientologist than a Christian scientist.

Confession: I was raised as a Latter Day Saint but sent to catholic school. I think that's why I question the LDS church so much.

You know that X-Files quote? "I want to believe." That's what I say. I want to believe in something. The emptiness inside is killing me. But I can't anymore. Not after everything. Everyone who has faith is lucky.

Confession- I've always wondered if mormons get annoyed when Jehovah's Witnesses ring their door bells.

I’m Muslim but I hate how in our religion we can’t marry outside of our faith as women...

I’m Muslim but I hate how in our religion we can’t marry outside of our faith as women it sucks there are some non Muslim who genuinely care about the women in their lives I believe god focuses on the bigger not the small one and most f the guys I have gone for have been outside of my faith.

I'm a Hindu but people always assume I'm Muslim.

I love my parents and everything, but forcing me to be Christian isn't going to persuade me. I just don't know my place between my religion. I want to believe there is something out there, but there isn't much to work with.. This is why I'm beginning to lean on Agnosticism..

Wed, 03 Apr 2013 14:14:52 -0600

I wish I was Jewish, because I feel a strong connection to it, but I have no idea how to go about it, and I feel like I wouldn't be Jewish enough for my friends who are already Jewish, so for now, I just sort of lead people to believe that I am Jewish. I have friends that think I am. It's very strange.

I want to become agnostic but heaven is just so wonderful I don't want to leave it. I want to be in a world were everything is perfect but I just can't convince my mind that there is a god.

Wed, 03 Apr 2013 14:14:42 -0600

I hate when people group agnosticism with atheism because they are completely different. Atheists- No God. Agnostics- No way to know there's no God, and assume there is none until proven otherwise. (thought it varies).

When I was 16 I seriously considered converting to Messianic Judaism. When I confided in my parents about it I thought they would be understanding, since they're both Christians anyway. Instead they belittled me and made me feel stupid. I never pursued the religion due to the shame they made me feel. Now I'm Agnostic and not to be a jerk, but I feel my parents would rather I became a Jew than a nonbeliever.
