I missed the State of Union Address because I had a softball game. (I am in a recreational softball league...we suck...it is fun though!) Anyway, I think I am going to my friends' house on Thursday to watch it. They are playing a drinking game and my friend and I are going to take shots of soda because I don't drink, and I don't really drink soda either so it will be hard to take it down...haha. It is going to be really fun! I am enjoying life I think. My class is almost over and I am not doing as well as I thought I would do, but I am over it...sorta. Wow, my life is boring. This is a stupid way to start a new train of thought but oh well. So I was watching an episode of Sex and the City today and Miranda was baptizing her baby, even though she didn't believe in god really. Religion is the most difficult thing to question I think because I know very few people who grew up without it. It is also a touchy subject because if you say you don't believe in anything people look at you oddly. Then comes the question of how to celebrate holidays. I know plenty of people, well most people celebrate Christmas only for the gifts. I think it is an important holiday because of tradition and family. If I ever have a family I can't not celebrate these with my family. I have had a few conversations about questioning the whole institute. I have followed what my family and my surroundings have told me about religion. I have come to realize that I don't think I believe in anything. It is scary feeling at first. I used to pray whenever I wanted something..usually nothing in my life changed. And nothing has changed since I have stopped praying. There have been a few times that I have conversations about questioning things but it seems most people have gone the other way. How can you really believe in something without every questioning it?
