learning the meaning
i'm learning things over the summer. i bet i shouldn't be doing that, mostly because i will be sick of learning by the time i get started this fall. hm.
anyway, i learned what emo music is. actually, i learned what makes it different from rock and alternative. i feel smart (or not). according to my brother, emo is rock/alternative style music, except the lyrics are sung much slower, and the subject matter is more "whiny and angsty". is that an accurate description of emo music? i don't know, so i'll put that question out there for someone to answer.
another question to ponder: what is the point of religion? what is its purpose in society? do you believe that religion fulfills a role in our lives that might otherwise not be filled? click the little comment button...i want to hear from you all.

Religion gives people:Direction
Hope
Reason to live (if they are lacking one)
Wisdom maybe?
Guidelines on reflection? (like a starting guide for those who are utterly confused)
New perspectives (then again religion limits some people's perspectives)
Usually good moral values that keep society in check (then again a lot of wars were over religion... but thatsok)
A truth of some sort:
The truth of existence ? happiness ? morality ? life ? everything ?
The writings that accompany religion are helpful in all ways, even in math and science.
Religion is thought provoking and that is reason enough for it to have a place in the world.
Any quest to fulfill one's life becomes a religious one eventually. Ex: Someone religiously smokes pot believing it will deliver them from their pain and suffering of their life. Ex: Someone works harder and harder believing that the better job and bigger paycheck will make life easier and give their life meaning (sounds like a religion to me).
Religion is a better way to gain fulfillment than anything else offered thus far. Dedication to abstract mathematics and physics, an extrospective way of understanding and handling one's self and the universe, that I believe may be just as good as the introspective way once it has evolved far enough.
