Nov. 23, 2010
Today, our last period was taken over by our adviser because our Computer teacher was somewhere else. Oh joy. Anyways, she gave us some reminders for us to copy in our diaries. She told us about this "Rosary Crusade". In this "Rosary Crusade" we were to accomplish praying a million (no sarcasm) rosaries for the law of life and family. My teacher said that if we prayed enough, then maybe mother Mary would prevent the legalization of abortion here in our country.
I literally laughed out loud when I heard this. Other people even laughed at how I broke the room's silence with a laugh.
Now, I have two points to discuss today. But before I do, I would like everyone reading this to know that some of these statements are just my opinions and I am entitle to my own thinking:
Point 1:
Prayer. This is the problem with most Catholics nowadays. Actually, no, it's not just Catholics, but also the Christians. All they ever do is pray. They think that by praying they are able to make such a big and helpful contribution. Instead of actually making a move or a stand to help a cause, they would just get on their knees, close their eyes and pray. People are either too selfish or scared to help out other people, but with their vanity they would give a prayer and say that they've helped a lot just to look like they actually care. Sometimes, they would dedicate a prayer to a specific cause because they're afraid that God might get mad if they don't help in any way at all.
[Goofy, retarded voices]
"Hey man, have you heard about that earthquake in Haiti?"
"Yeah, I have."
"I've given them some clothes, food and money. What have you done?"
"..I prayed for them."
"Oh man, they're so totally going to get better now!"
"OMG, I know right!"
"You're such an angel, homebro!"
"Damn straight!"
Really? You probably find this funny, but this is reality.. but this won't really be an actual conversation, but this happens. People would pray instead of actually helping out and be labeled as such a caring person.
Now, let's actually talk about this current "Rosary Crusade" issue,
So, we're supposed to pray a kabajillion (yes, sarcasm) rosaries to Mary in hope of preventing the passing on of the abortion law? What's going to happen? Is Mary going to descend down upon the Earth and tell Noynoy to disapprove of the law? Or is Noynoy somehow going to be magically inspired by the spirit and stamp that piece of paper with that huge red reject stamp?
I mean, believe me, I'm a religious guy and all, but this is pathetic. Go sign a petition, or something. Not make people pray a million rosaries!
I admit that prayer does help, but sometimes it would be better to actually go do something about it rather than pray. If you want to help and give the credit to God, then go out there and help people in the name of God. But not like a deranged end-of-the-world bum. Just like Ned Flanders from the Simpsons.
Also, just a little side note for the people who are actually going to do this infinity rosary praying: Do you really think a million prayers are going to help? If you pray something a million times, you would stop meaning it the third time. And do you actually think kids in school are anti-abortion? Kids only think abortion is bad because they are told so.
Which brings me to Point 2:
Abortion. Is it really bad? Is it really taking a life? Is it really a sin? Is it really not going to help the country in any way? Are you sure?
Now, people think that abortion is bad because it is taking a life and it says in the bible that it is against the commandments to take a life. But can you really call an unborn fetus a piece of life already? In my opinion, stray dogs have more right to live than fetuses.. or fetii. And besides, the bible also says that you can stone your wives, sons and sell your daughters into slavery. But isn't that unacceptable now? But why? The bible says you can!
To be honest, those were taken from the Old Testament and those were some crazy times.. probably.
But what I'm saying is that, why bring unwanted children into an overly populated country and not be able to support them? Might as well just prevent it from ever even feeling hunger and pain before death. Besides, can a fetus even feel death? Would they even have any idea they would've lived? They would thank the abortion doctor someday or another not letting them into this painful and cruel world.
Stubborn people would say that instead of having abortion, just stop having sex. That kind of thinking really ticks me off. Do you really think that's possible? Can you check up on every household in the entire country and make sure they keep their pants on?
Then some stubborn careless people would say that people should just use protection when they do it. Well, maybe it failed. Or, maybe they didn't have one that time. Tell me, can you go around the whole country and supply every uncontrollably couple with a condom? ..Oh wait, I think they've tried that.
Let's take a look at the replies of people who are against abortion -- and mine to theirs:
1. Use protection!
Really? Do you think that putting on a condom once your partner is already a huge-bellied whale would help? People get abortions after they do it, Einstein. And if you tell me, "Well, I was talking about before doing it!" Then don't you think that if they didn't want a kid, then they would use protection? Would they get pregnant if they did? ..possibly. At least they tried!
2. Don't have sex when you know you can't support a kid!
If they know that they couldn't support a kid, then they would use protection. Duh.
3. Don't have sex. Period!
Lol. Really?
4. Keep the kid.
And let it experience hunger, pain and hardships because you weren't ready for the kid or you couldn't support it? Then you would just be adding to the heavy load of unwanted kids and street people we need to help out. Smart.
5. A fetus can't decide for its self yet, so let it grow and see if the kid really does get a hard time living.
Then what if it does? Oh well? Or do you kill it then? That would be murder.
6. Banish it to the other world before it lives.
That is abortion.
Now, that probably wraps up today's entry. I don't do this everyday. Just when I have something to write about. After reading this, I hope you see a little of how I look at things. Also, a lot of these statements are just my opinions. If you don't agree, don't get mad over it, but do tell me what you think.
You don't like what you see? SO WHAT?!
