Grrrr

Ok Been having something on my mind since yesterday evening. Someone emails you since they haven't seen you in a while asking whats going on and if everything is ok. And if I need to talk they are there.....

2 paragraphs later this person goes on to tell everything that's going on (gossip) and then something that they asked me not to tell ANYONE because it was told them in strict confidence.

Why in the hell would I even think of talking to someone like that? It just made me so mad that someone confided in them something and they feel the need to spread it and yet they think I am going to want to talk to them about anything.. HELL NO.

It made me realize how much of that went on under the guise of "concern". You know, things like "dont say anything but be praying for Sis so and so because I heard....." It seems gossip is ok if done under the pretense of concern. Well it just reinforced why I will never go back. It is just so eye opening, taking a step back and seeing the hypocracy that's there, and yes I was a part of it. You are convinced things are ok in certain circumstances but how do others see it?

Hurting or healing......

Why is it that religion causes a person to so often feel they are better than everyone else? If you ain't got it like I got it, then you ain't crap. If you want to be a part of a group then you must submit to being molded and shapen to their ideals.

So many people have been hurt by religion but yet they claim it heals. They claim their god loves all but yet they reject all not like them, They hurt those that need help the most.

Can we not help each other and love each other without religion. Do we need religion to know we need to help others. Is it so wrong to want to help people but leave religion out of the picture?
