Perez hilton Vs that hot religious girl

this is truly, I'd say, an excellent example of current political battles occurring within all communities throughout the united states, whether they be black, white, religious, non-religious. We have to find something to quarrel about, us humans... It'll never end.

Perez hilton is gay, what many today consider the new black people. Though I'd trade my left nut to be perez hilton with his blue eyes and peach skin tone. I'm lucky in the sense that I can pass for spanish under the right circumstances and that's about it. The overwhelming stereotype of blacks as stupid gangsters will follow me well into my military career and beyond it, I'm sure while perez can walk freely as a gay man without worrying about anyone thinking less of him. In fact, I've noticed throughout my travels the last few years that a lot of gay black men are more appreciated I guess than your jive talkin alpha male type. Man, this world is weird.

Anyway, I'm discovering more and more that white people are not all on the same page. I didn't know this in high school. i thought they all hated us, not so. They hate each other more than they'll ever hate black people. We're still a nuisance under certain circumstances, especially the education thing, but otherwise it's become fully clear to me that the new war isn't between races but between religious and non-religious people.

I grew up going to church. I attended a catholic school. I do believe there's SOME kind of greater power at work, but the contradictory nature of school life began to be something worthy of notice once I really got into serious puberty and started to question why my body was craving something that my religion taught me to deny. Why was it that people divorced when marriage was supposed to be permanently binding? Why is it that I'm learning physics one minute and learning the teachings of the Jesus the next?

Turns out that I was just caught up in the many conflicting view points of the older generation over what should or should not be taught in schools. I think simply you should teach what's most beneficial to the child in their life since those years before puberty are golden and the kid can fully concentrate on school work without thinking one way or the other like I am now with my sex cravings. But so many disagree and so we get kids who aren't being pushed to their limits these days and getting taught stuff they'll soon forget and likely never need. Seriously I'm starting everything from scratch now when I could have been miles ahead if I only learned the right way to be a healthy young adult back around 17 or so.

The school system is garbage really. Don't put all your faith in it. It's just a technicality until you finally get out of it and into society where you learn everyone's just trying to survive, not trying to do something amazing with their life and if you're willing to work, you're their best friend.

Back to my original thoughts on religious vs non-religious. I don't think anyone takes the bible THAAAAAAAAAT seriously that they're going to condemn gay people and stuff. The bible does say that women belong beneath men and should obey them. I think you have to, just like with all of life, just not worry too much about every little detail being in place. Nobody is perfect. Religions main philosophy is in my view, just that, that we're imperfect and need to remember that, be humble. Well I ain't ghandi so I'm not going to go on too long. I've read some of his writings, he's just great. I love what he's trying to achieve, peace, but all the stuff I've seen in my life has lead me to believe that's impossible. People are animals, and animals fight for survival any way they can, in my view. Even Athiests have to recognize that to be true.
