Religion and sex

Religion and sex is a massive subject around the world and allot of religions ban or stop you having sex before marriage. The idea behind this would drive me mad as what would happen if you never get married, would that mean you would never have sex?

I think this is why you see lots of sex scandals with vicars and even sometime children or did I see that at the movies, either way sex and religion will always be in the news and I’m glad for once I’m not religious.

What are your experiences, have you had the same issues? Let me know your thoughts?

Church on Sunday

Are you religious? Do you follow a god? I know I don’t really have time to do this but how do people fit this into there life and actually make it part of there life. Some people treat it a routine like going to church on a Sunday is like getting up and doing your teeth every day. Again like in my lats blog football is like this and people get up not matter how hung over they are and drag themselves round a mud filled field every Sunday morning.

I still think this is commitment juts like visiting a church every Sunday.

Football culture

Football today is such a big part of life and it now has a few different types of cultures. Not only the culture of religion but its own cultures in how people follow a certain team. If you think about it the likes of Everton or Manchester Untied are almost worshipped all over the world and can be seen as some sycophantic religion but could the very method of football really influence people into following a religious type of scheme. I reckon it could.

What is the strangest almost religious following you have seen that is not connected to religion?

Where has our right to choose gone?

Following on from my last blog about choices, one thing that really irritates me is why people think they have the right to actualcome to your door and start preaching to you about how you should go to church or turn to religion. It seems to me these days everyone wants to advise us on everything we should and shouldn’t do. What we should eat, drink, how we should spend our money. Now I’m not saying that I don’t appreciate advice but I would like to be able to ask for it when I need it not be preached at or told what I am doing is right or wrong.

Being ‘Religious’ – an excuse for everything??

My parents decided not to christen me as a baby on the basis that I should make that decision for myself once I was older and had the information to make an informed independent decision about it and based on what I have seen and done in my life so far I have decided to live by a set of morals rather than subscribe to a religion – treat others as I would want to be treated, listen, try not to be selfish or to judge, just generally try and be a ‘good’ person. I have seen situations where religion has really helped someone through a crisis but what really frustrates and angers me is when I meet individuals who have the opinion that because they are religious they then almost use it an excuse for everything, they can pretty much treat people in a completely inappropriate way but it’s ok because they have a faith. I think more people should concentrate on just being a ‘good’ person.
