What a week..

.. and it is only Wednesday. But I can tell each and everyone who is willing to listen that I am looking forward to eastern, and this year I am happy that Jesus died on a Friday so that I'll get an extra day off. It is quite impolite and insensitive to say that you are happy that someone has died, but on the other hand, the whole religion is based on that fact.

Talking about that, I've been thinking a lot about religion lately. Especially after the outcome of last weeks elections. I believe in something, but I have no idea what that is. And I actually think that religion is kind of a good thing. The bible is a good book, if you don't overanalyze it. I mean, telling someone to treat someone else as you want to be treated yourself is a nice thing.  Don't steal is a good advise. In the end, all the different belief systems are based on the same thing, be good to people around you. I don't find a huge difference between them. So I don't understand why people should go around and kill others in the name of some religion. It is just stupidity, and there is usually something else behind it. Like power.

What I don't like about religion is that people can interpret some very very old books in such very weird ways. Another thing I don't like are those that try to force something on you. I am always willing to discuss, but please, let people have their own beliefs and let them live their life as they want to. Of course it is better if everyone at least tries something else, so that they can tell for sure that that is what they want to do. Believe what you want, but please, let everyone else as well believe what they want. And think about it, in the end everyone wants more or less the same.

Hmm, I never thought I would discuss religion. I guess I am just so exhausted, and happy that we will have some days off. I will send a thankful thought to someone on Friday, and on Monday I will be back in business.
