Home, sweet home
Current mood: Relaxed
Yes, I’m Finally back after spending the weekend att my parents. I’m feeling pretty beat, to tell you the truth. My brother and his wife, and her 6-year-old son from a previous marriage was there too. So it was a tad bit stressful. My sister-in-law’s son was very unruly and poured water with soap in all over my cat Nicholas (among other things), for no reason at all! I had to bathe the cat to rinse out all the soap. So that stressed me out a bit, him not doing as he was told immediately and so on. Don’t know why exactly, since he wasn’t my responsibility so to speak.
Then there was the actual Christening. It all went well fortunately, but since I’ve left the Swedish church, it all felt a bit hypocritical to stand there, with the priest and and let her be “born into the Swedish chuch”. It all felt so wrong somehow. My opinion is that the gods didn’t create humans, humans created the gods. All religions seem so contrarious, it just doesn’t work out. Take the Bible for an example. On one page it says ‘An eye for an eye’, and on the other ‘Turn the other cheek’. It’s like, I can pick and choose whatever I see fit for the situation.
If I’m a Christian and don’t like homosexuals I say that it says in the Bible that it’s wrong for men to sleep with men as he does with a woman. Or if I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being a homosexual then I can follow Jesus’ saying ‘Love thy neighbor as thyself’. It’s like modern t.v, it’s something for everybody and as I said, you can choose exactly what fits your opinion of Life, Universe and Everything. Maybe I will elaborate on this subject when I’m not so tired.
Now, I’m not saying that I’m not proud to be my niece’s Godmother. I am. But I would have and will be there for her no matter what. God or not. But if it is important for the parents to splash a little water on a baby’s head, then by all means, go ahead.
But if I were to have a baby, then I’d rather throw the baby a party with friends and families instead of a Christening.
