Religion

I'm not a fan of religion. Raised in the bible belt with the fire and brim stone baptist and not religious? Some how 'the calling' missed me. Despite my grandmother's attempts at dragging me to church, dirty bitch.

There is a church about every 3 blocks here in this town, I shit you not. Sometimes there will be 2 rival churches on opposing street corners. It's ridiculous. They all want you to join them in their house of worship. They litter your car windshields and your home doors with invites to their church. They come around in groups and walk the blocks of homes surrounding their church trying to recruit. It's enough to make a person want to answer the door covered in blood with the anti-Christ symbols drawn on their forehead.

I've had them come to my door and ask me where I thought I'd go if I died today. I know where I'm going to go. I'm going to haunt these ignorant judgemental mother fuckers and laugh as they try to throw holy water at me. How dare they pass judgement on me because my beliefs are different. I've even had some of these dip shits try to "pray" for me on my door step. I don't come to their homes and tell them how stupid they are for believing what they do. I don't litter their yards with anti-religious pamphlets. What is it with these people and their need to try to convert everyone?

My philosophy on life is to live it how you feel it should be lived. Let everyone else worry about their own life. Are you gay? Lesbian? Black? White? Brown? Aethiest? Guess what? I don't care. It doesn't matter. Just don't expect everyone else to think and believe the way you do.

Thursday Morning Ramblings

Life as stay at home wife isn't so bad. It gets awfully boring in this back water hick town though. My options for entertainment are the local Wal-Mart, church (HA! Me? In church?) or one of the local bars. Fun stuff. So, here I sit cleaning house and contemplating fighting off the fucking huge ass mosquitoes to mow my yard. Yeah, I think I'll ramble for a bit instead.

I'm a married to a man in the Air Force. For the most part it isn't to different from my life before. We are still in my home town, we don't live on the base and we don't socialize with his co-workers. Though from time to time his enlistment does come trodding into our home life. Less than 3 weeks and he'll be gone for a fun filled 6 month deployment over seas. At least it's not a year long tour right? Though I'm still not happy seeing as how this time around they gave him a helmet cover. He didn't have one of those the last deployment. Hmm...

On the topic of military wives, not to offend the whole populace, but why does it seem that half of the ones I meet are thicker than molasses? Seriously! What.The.Fuck? Did you know that according to one Stepford Wife that juries should be prosecuted for convicting innocent people? Apparently she missed the chapter in her Government class that explains that Jury Duty is not voluntary.

My other favorite quip is the religiously intolerant ones that think that all Muslims are gun toting, woman beating terrorist. Yeah, way to generalize. I could go on and on but I'd end up wanting to paint the wall with my brains. I'm not saying that everyone I've met is ignorant but it does seem that we have more than our fair share.
