questions answered.

dear world,


i want to answer two questions I get asked all the time.
i know that the people who ask this won't ever read this but, i don't care.
i need to get these words out.

question one.
why are you a vegetarian?

i am a vegetarian because the idea of eating meat, makes me cringe.
the smell of meat even sometime makes my stomach upset.
the idea of eating a poor animal, being shot down in the middle of the woods to give me nourishment i can get from other sources is awful.
oh and the idea of an animal never even getting to see the outdoors,
being born into a disgusting, dirty slaughter house where they are stuffed until they are so big there legs break and they can't move is even more awful.
You will never make me see your reasoning behind eating meat.
I don't care how it tastes, i don't care if you say its "how nature is", it's disgusting and horrible.


question two.
why don't you believe in god?

I spent the first, at least, 9 years of my life hearing everyone tell me how great god is, and how if you accept him into your life you will see that everything works itself out and you will go to heaven and live forever with him and his perfectness.
Everyone said that if I prayed to god, he would fix all the problems in my life.
So I prayed. Until I was 11 I prayed he'd fix my mom. That he'd fix my dad. That he would take away all the pain from my life,
but you know what happened.
Nothing.
He didn't do a thing.
He didn't reach into my life and make my parents stop drinking.
He just made me feel completely pathetic.
He didn't take away all the hurt I felt, all the sadness that plagued me everyday, he didn't make me feel any better.
I refuse to believe that there is some higher power fixing lives and making everything better.
That's just not how things are.




anyways.
i feel better now.

lovezzz.
