The Obamas' Pup

Hmm... what to write, what to write.

Today's Yom Kippur. The Jewish holiday in which we must starve ourselves for 24 hours in order to show repentance…or something. Personally, I don’t see the point. I believe in God and all but why should we have to not eat or shower or drink or use electricity, to show we’re sorry for what we’ve done this past year? Maybe it’s to test us.

I think the bible and the Torah are just big books of morals. They’re just stories written to teach us lessons and stuff about life. So for those who say that it’s physically impossible to split the sea;….duh. It’s just a symbol for a lesson about freedom. Where would we be without these morals or teachings? Eh, it’s not like we’d be anywhere further than where we are now.
Anyway, I could do perfectly fine asking for forgiveness without being on the verge of fainting. It might be a discipline thing. Like, “If you’re really that sorry than show me” kinda thing. Eh who knows? I don’t know the mysteries behind religion.

What I don’t get is how people can kill or start a war based on religion. How can someone possibly take one’s life away because they believe in something different? How can a guy blow up a bus because those people don’t practice the same religion he does? That just goes to show how ignorant and hateful society is.

All it is nowadays is violence, publicity, and war. Well war could fall under violence. But think about it; I see president Obama more on People Magazine covers, talking about what dog to get his daughters, than I do seeing him at meetings and actually doing something. And the scary part is, people don’t care.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for having a black prez. It’s awesome that it finally happened, but all people care about is the media. You hear more about Khloe Kardashian’s wedding than you do about healthcare or what Obama will do to help the nation. You see more of Michelle Obama’s stylish outfits than her contribution to the White House. And it’s not her fault; she’s probably doing a lot. But it seems like now, nobody cares enough to talk about it and no magazines want to publish that. Cause of course- it’s not entertaining. They’ll just keep posting updates on what puppy the Obama family decides to get.
