Window to the soul- Hot in the Century,my take.....

I love this new blogger template so clean and clutter free and has a white background!(If you know me you would know I have a self proclaimed OCD for white and anything that reminds me of clean :$ ) Anyway not the agenda of the day. Yesterday I had a very interesting conversation with a friend of mine who decided to deport himself to Pakistan. I sought to find out if its anything I hear on CNN, Like Africa is commonly stereotyped as having people languishing in poverty, yet Nigeria has someone on the Forbes 100 most richest and influential people in the world~shakingmyhead~ some serious poverty that is (not saying we don't have problems). Turns out Pakistan is the place to be, even has a beach to die for...next holiday destination once I get my pay check
Yes I just rolled my eyes :) so shoot me!!!
He was bored and sleepy so he attempted to engage me in a rather interesting conversation on general things but what struck me most is our conversation on religion and homosexuality...he really wanted to know what I thought about these topics..here is what I had to say or rather what am saying, my view have not changed yet.

1. Religion

Hotly contested topic especially in societies that attribute  their roots on matters all spiritual. See I had a boyfriend, Muslim for that matter, the guy was and has always been my very close friend, someone I can always count on for support and a good laugh! But it could not work out why? He was Muslim! That sounds insane even for me!!!! Have you ever synched with someone so much so until you are left wondering how you had been surviving without them in the first place? Yes that's how it has always been between us, but when it boiled down to the moment of truth we realized we could not be, out parents would KILL us literary and society would simply blind their eyes towards us....SAD but true :( then came the question,what then is this religion?
This is what I said:

"We were created spiritual, human beings feel the desire to be connected to something beyond their understanding, regardless of what religion they belong to or what path in life they decide to take. I have atheist friends who choose to believe in nothing yet you would see them inclined to science and history and hold on that fact and belief of their existence being as a result of something greater- BELIEF- the biggest world according to me that exists in the dictionary (with it,even mountains can be moved), Religions therefore becomes just a channel-the destination is one "

2. Homosexuality

Another hot topic at this day and age...one would be inclined to think its a disease of the 21st Century folks. Well its not.Being an avid reader of the bible or not,  I know it was there a days before Jesus was even born and those people were condemned to fire and plague-but that was then! Now everyone is in the loop, trying to voice their opinions on these matters..and don't get me wrong, opinions are good and everyone is entitled to them the difference comes in when the opinion turns to judgement. Kinda boils down to the speck and wood in one's eye situation. This friend of mine recently found out his very close friend is gay and he did not know what to do about it. He asked for my opinion and here is what I had to say :

" If my child should decide to go the gay way, my heart would be shattered! I would probably lock myself in my room and cry for him/her with all my heart praying for a miracle...but that's all I could do for him/her, the decision would have been made by him/her. So am I saying its a choice? For some yes, but for others circumstances would have forced their hand. How else would you explain an 8 year old girl or boy feeling that they are inclined to those of the same sex? and they would not do anything to beat it because its engrained in their psyche? Is it nature? are they freaks? or a girl who has been brutally raped by men she has been looking up to all her life and decided to stick with those of her sex who instead offer comfort and strength? People might see it differently, but I have learned not to judge on this...I never know my child might be the one distressed :("

After this conversation he shook his head (I figured this from the emoticon he sent me) and gave me a high five and lastly did the chicken dance! His day was made and he had something to share with the Pakistani's but my ol'man would have shaken his head in disapproval...we have been throught this before and we sharpy disagreed!

Heavy post today, considering everything else has become a joke.....I miss my friend and Pakistan sounds like a plan *effects of having graduated hehehe* what I keep on learning in this young life of mine, sigh!!
Pious Vs Gay who is the heavy weight champion here....your thoughts my breeding ground, so share what thinketh you?
It better be in conjunction with 1000 wise men's thoughts :) #justsaying
