Angel my ass!

i just have a severe problem wtih people acting helpless....like some unknown force is making them do 'bad things'. if everyone in this world stood up and took responsibility for what they do, then in my head maybe the world would be in a much better situation than it is now.

i think religion just elaborated the idea of the "evil force" in order to gain followers, put people under their control. they say they are a necessity for people to follow through with their spiritual life and keep them on track to being "safer" from the "evil". while that idea is in the bible, the idea of sharing ideas and fellowshipping to keep people understanding the guidepoints for life in the bible, but the church fucked it up by exaggerating this evil. good idea in theory, but humans can't allow it and corruption is throughout the whole shit.

i don't doubt for a second that early religious leaders, if not made up, severely over-elaborated evil forces to gain followers...i mean one of the most basic animal instincts is survival...and if you have some well known powerful (and believed at the time) leader tell you that you'll die and suffer forever if you don't follow them, of course the majority will follow so that they can survive. but with all that aside, even if god and the devil is real....the bottom line people still make their own choices..and i'm making a statement of how much i really despise people who use excuses, instead of owning up to what they've done. the way i've always seen it..if you're ball-sy enough to do the crime then you better be ball-sy enough to do the time. i do believe there are a select few exempt from my way of thinking....there is such a thing as psychosis when you really don't knwo what your doing, the world to you is diffrent than everyone else....but that don't mean they should be able to blame, say killing someone on that and walk away....while the family members of the murdered suffer...

i don't doubt for one minute that people do that, and that it's fucked up. but the "bad vibes" or what have you, have some sort of role in things that you do that are fucked up. if you put yourself around certain negative influences, you may react differently to a bad decision you make. like let's say some guy is hanging out with a bunch of people that are badasses about killing people and starting shit with people, and then he later did things like that, that would be a bad influence and hell, he did what he did and that's fucked up, but were he to say "damn, if i hadn't hung out with those fucked up people, i would have never gotten into this shit" i think a statement like that could be attacked not knowing the circumstances. just realize that people say that shit that are fucked up, but there's always some sort of story as explanation of behavior. i sort of realized this in clear thought today when i was chillin, so that's why it's so fresh in my mind.

I could picture somebody like Nichols snorting some speed, possibly for the first time, and having his mindset change gears and see the futility of the murderous crime spree he was caught up in. Meth, combined with the influence of Ashley Smith's soothing, sympathetic words and demeanor (actually, she was terrified), temporarily repaired something in this person's brain that was dormant, or frequently unreachable, for a long time.

Before anti-depressants and anti-anxiety chemicals became the norm, amphetamine-type drugs were used extensively to treat depression, fatigue, various emotional problems, and other conditions such as obesity. Ms. Smith was lucky she had some around that day, because it very likely saved her life.

Someone should not be classified an "Angel" and written about publicly, until the whole world knows an "angel" exists.

Angels exist about as much as leprechauns, elves, fairies, and the abominable snowman.

you don't think that there are other types of paranormal forces. maybe not an angel persay but like, spirits or some sort of something around?

what about any kind of extraterrestrial or alien life? who's to say that the fairies or elves or angels or spirits aren't from some other place? i mean all of these labels have existed within religions since the beginning of time, you don't think that the primitive religions may have been trying to make sense of something else around us?
