Science vs Religion

Science and religion are always in contrast. In science people are always trying to prove something or trying to find concrete proof about something. Science may know something is true but they still want to be able to prove that it will always be true and under any circumstances. It is not just enough to know that the apple falls from the tree scientists want to know why thee apple falls from the tree. How fast it falls, whether it only falls under ceertain circumstances, what tiny little bugd are in the apple and so on. Religion on the other hand wants to believe in something they do not so much need to know why even though they may nt know why it is usually enough for them to believe it in their heart that their is something beyond them and something bigger and better than them. Usuallly people who are very religious find comfort that idea of something beyond this life, something bigger than them that they have to aim for with their life and the idea that their good deeds will go rewarded whether in this life or in the next. Whether or not you believe in science or you believe in religion there is a plce for both and it is not black and white one or the other. SOme people fully believe that science is the answer to everything and that everything can be explained by science. Where as some people believe that religion and fiath will get you through anything. It is more important to be a good person and I need a biunch more words blah blah blah. You should not evever allow someone to tell you what to believe and you should always decide something for yourself based on your own values and your own morals, rather than simply allowing other people to tell you what you believe or what is right or wrong. a a a a a

Organized Religion

Organized religion is a very important part of the world. Without organized religion a lot of people in the wrold would have not hope or dreams. Religion gives people hope and reasons to live. Without religion a lot of people in our world would not now what to do with their lives. Imagine a world that does not have any sort of moral ideals. There are things that are unwritten laws in the world. Be nice to people, dont kill people, help others. All of these ideas can be traced to religion, telling people that in order to be saved the people must follow certain rules and ideals. After so many years these ideals are almsot ingrained in to the head of people. If there was no religion people would have no reason to be nice or to not kill each other. The idea would be that if tyou did not get caught then it would be ok. Where as with religion the idea is even if you do not get caught their is always someone bigger than you who is watching and knows how and what you do. This person will judge you when you die and you will get your just reward.Many people do not do bad things because they think that the punishment would be worse than anything that could happen on earth. I mean what is worse, spending a life in prison on an eternity in the fiery pits of hell. In my own opinion I think religiion is a very important part of the world and without it there would be mass choas and absolute asnarchy, not from just people who feel losrt without religion iut also from people who suconcsiously would allow themselves to start doing bad things to other people and to steal and stuff.

Superstitions

There are several superstitions that I usually adhere to. The most common one that I do is eyelash wishes. The superstiton is every time you get an eyelash on your hand or anywhere you can blow it away while you make a wish. the wish will come true, that is why its called an eyelash wish. Whenever I have an eyelash i always always always make a wish on. Some are funny and others are serious. Sometimes on Fridays I will wish I do good at my football game later during the day. Though one thing I have always wondered about is whether you can cheat. Like sometimes I will have an itch in my eye so I kind of pull at my eyelashes, I usually make wishes on those but I do not know if they count. Do they become void since I pulled them out.? These sort of questions keep up at night. the other citation that I do is wishing on stars, the idea behind this superstition is that the first star that you see at night you say " star light star bright first star I see tonight I wish i may i wish i might have this wish i wish tonight." This one is something I do most nights. though sometimes you do it and then you see another star and you have to wodner whether or not your wish still counts in the long run. It is pretty hard to cheat at this superstitions since you cant really pull stars out of nowhere or make some appear before other do. Even though I occasaionally may do something like a rain dance there really are not any other kinds of superstitions I adhere to. I think ones like wearing the same. underwear for an entire season in order to win mroe often is dumb and those are about it I need like eleven more words and then this blog is done.

Blaming people or stuff that they did not do

Blaming people for stuff that they did not do is a very bad thing. When you blame people for things they did not do those people can soemetimes get in trouble for the things that they did not do. To start with no one likes to get in trouble and some times to keep from getting in toruble peopl blame what ever happened on someone else even thought hat person may not have done anything to deserve getting in trouble. When we blame other peoplefor things and stuff that they did not do we can get just get ourselves in to more trouble than we would of been in the firdt place. Causwe then we get in trouble not only froo doing something wrong but sldo for lieing about about doing something wrong then we get doubly in trouble and we have no one who we can blame it on so were up a river and we have not a single paddle in order to row with. Then the people who you blamed get really mad at you and say that it is your ebst friend and they never talk to you again, then you jsut blalmed something you did on your best friend who definately did not do the thing that you did. Now everyone who you have blamed things on hate you and you have no friends. You jsut could not get in trouble. The bottom line is you will become a bad person when you get older and you will ahve no friends and nobody will like you. So if you lie and blame stuff on other people when they did not do it you will go to jail and then some man named tiny who is giant will make you his best friend then your life is bascially over for the rest of yo life. Dan I just need sixteen more words in this blog and then I can finally be doen with the blog.

Punishments

My parents always tell me that they will take away the computer or my phone when I misbehave. Though lately it has moved from more electronic things to them threatening that they will take away my car keys and I wont be able to drive. I think taking away electronic things and privliges is a perfectly fine punishment. The idea of a punishment is to take away something that people like so that they will listen to you. When my parents were kids they got things like Tv and being outside taken away from them because that is what they did. Kids today play on the computer and sue electronic alot more than they are outside so it would make sense that as punishment they would lsoe those privliges rather than going outside or something that they do not care about as much. You will make a much bigger impact on someone if you really do not like the punishment as opposed to something that is maybe not as big of deal to you and something you can deal with no problem. When I have kids I will probably ground them from electronics rather than going outside or anything else, but it really will be what they most enjoy doing and what they do the most. So in my own opinon taking away thigns like phoens and internet and even facebook is a great punishment since that's what people do more than anything else. The main idea is to take away things that will make the biggest impact on the person who is getting in trouble. In the future even more things that we think wird will be taken away, things like games will be taken away more and more and even things like internet acces at all. Or maybe more grounding fromc ertain sites or things like that. I myself have not been grounded in quite a long time sicne Im a great kid.

Journal 3 The Tale of Being a Hostage

I think that if I were in a hostage situation I would probably be pretty scared. Like I would probably be sitting there minding my own business when all of a sudden a crazy guy would come in the door telling everyone to get down. He would be waving a gun around like the crazy guy he is. I would get on the ground and try not to get noticed. I think a lot of things would e going through my head. Or who knows I could do one of those superhuman people who like zero in on the guy with the gun. Like they block everything out but the gun, sounds and movement included. Then if I was blocking things out I would wait for the right opportunity to tackle the guy with the gun. Another situation that could be a possibility would be where they are multiple assailants and they are trying to rob a bank, then one of the guys hides in a wall for a whole week. That would be completely different since if I were to tackle on of them the others would simply kill me. What I would probably do then would be try to draw as little attention to myself as possible because the main thing the I would be worried about would be living. One thing that I do not think would happen to me is the whole having issues and flashbacks to the incident afterwords. Like how some people can not go back to normal life because they become so paranoid. I really doubt that something like that would happen to me. think I could just go back to my every day life. Who knows though we never really know how we will react to something until that thing really happens. Beng a hostage would definitely not e an easy thing on someone and no one will really know how they might react to something until it happens
