Yesterday I watched Borat tearing America apart at the seams, and splitting my sides at the same time.
edit: sorry, forgot to say why I mentioned Borat. When I watched the part where he gets "saved" by the Pastor, I literally felt like we live in a time similar to the ignorant religions of our long forgotten pasts, where we worshipped ridiculous things in ridiculous ways.
I find it sad that we have blown religion out of proportion - expanded it to uncontrollable, unusable, unreasonable proportions.
Here we have this song, originally sung by John Lennon, he himself was a free thinker and wished the world to be united and free of religion. Yet he sings this Christmas song?
Then it got me thinking, even though we are descendents of apes, that does not mean we should act like one, we humans have the unique ability to evolve quickly and powerfully.
I propose we do not trash religion out the window completely, but take what is good from it, the teachings, and throw the rest away. Afterall, it is evolution that gave us religion, there was and is a reason for its existence, but it is time now to stop acting like teenagers and become a man, we should be entering a stage now where we can celebrate christmas not for religious reasons, but because of the applicably good things Jesus - 100% human being and great teacher - taught us all, that is what we should be celebrating during christmas, the good things we learned from all of histories good teachers.
