Religion today

Ah my second post and its only been a day... and no one has probably seen it.

It came up in a conversation with my friends about one of my extremely racist friend of ours, about how religion is outdated or at least should be. Religion or gods was invented in the beginning to justify a reason for our existence and to explain phenomenons that we couldn't understand. Now science has evovled and we know many new things and much about our origin. And usualy speculation would give way to truth, but that has not been the case here. People still folow religion closely although there have been an increase in aethiests. Mostly, I think because of custom. What I would like to see is if or when the truth of the beggining is found what the religous people will do.

You can't shine shit.

YAY my first post that complies with the topic of this... blog... I don't like that word, blog...hmm. Anyway today in class, I am in high school, my teacher told us about one of her boyfriends from when she was in college. This boyfriend of hers was one of those "bad" people with a criminal record and such. She went out with him not only for her like of him, but also to try to change his life for the better. People talked about her as if she would be the guide to make his life better. Then she did one of her creepy smiles and told us that he ended up holding up someone and getting shot and killed. To that she responded by saying you can't shine shit. Which led me to think of that and led me to want to share my ideas with the world.

So the idea breaks down to you can't change a truly "evil" person. And I agree with that, there are people who once are evil, are always evil. But then people would respond that everyone can find salvation through repentance or whatever. I don't believe in that idea. They are the way they are because they chose to be and a simply sorry won't make them free of their crimes. Back to the idea of changing them being impossible is true, maybe not to everyone. Maybe there are people out there that can change. But then those people didn't have the mindset to not want to change as other's did or had feeling of what they did was wrong and relized it.

Tell me your thoughts.

New idk how this works

So I have ways i see things and I'm bored keeping them to myself so I thought I'd share a topic, my views, and then ask for others to talk about the topic... If you can do that in this site...
