This will offend some people, so if challenging your religion is a weak point don’t read past this.

Should I live my life by these holy books,
Follow them line by line and in between all the nooks,
Could I really live my life by these old fashioned words,
live it day by day, not missing a line, joining gods nerds,

=

These books are so old, full of murder, death, punishment, a world run by gold,
Am I meant to believe that without these books, I’ll be any worse then this person who told?

=

Have you ever thought that without these books,
We would be better, stop judging people just because of their looks,

=

I’ve sat down talked to many of his different followers,
They’ve guided me through his words,
Tried to answerer my questions,
Offered me forgiveness for all my sins,
But I’ve only done wrong in your eyes, not mine, he should know these things,

=

There’s people fighting, killing to protect their versions name,
Bombing, torture, now even suicide, but are his books anymore humane?
There’s killing, mass murder, all in his name,
But they make these look so tame,

=

He’s made to look good in all his picture books,
A white man with a smile, all the things to trick the mind, but not mine, I know his real looks,

=

Am I meant to believe a man who can create everything,
He gets angry if I don’t believe in what I can’t see,
I’m sorry, its not fair, hes pathetic, if he’s really up there,
Do you expect me to believe that he would really care?
I’d rather live my life, follow my rules, learn on my own, be free,
Now just please just expect me to believe in only who I can see,

What is blogging now? When I first started back in 2001 it was just a way to log your daily lives or moan about something that effects you… You had big company workers writing up about how their company sucked, people trying to work out their own issues… These days its turned into a way for people to claim how much money they make and write up paid reviews. Blogging has lost its personality and is now just turning into the old websites we had crammed down our necks.

Can you really tell me the difference between a website and a blog now? You could have a few years ago but now… You will be hard pushed to look up on a blog directory and not have the biggest “blogs” be marketing type or some form of sales type website.

I only read a few blogs now, mainly because no one apart from a few really do blog, you see no real personality behind the blog apart from someone rubbing their hands together trying to find some sneaky way of getting some extra dollars out of you.

The reason I was wondering is this I just checked my RSS reader and went through all my feeds and cleaned out everything that sucked… I am now down to only 4 feeds!

1. One of them is a clasic (PostSecret) which is all about real blogging (With pics).
2. The other is a blog I found around a year ago and has one of the biggest real personalitys around (Rebellious Arab Girl ®).
3. The other is a blog I sadly need to really catch up on Its called I am You and was one of my fave reads a quite a few months back… I really need to go back and atch up (Like I do with Rebellios)
4. The next is a blogger/Auther/Comic Aurther (Neil Gaiman’s Journal) who always manages to amaze me. He has no real need to blog but does it for the sole reason of what Blogging is meant to be about… Expressing yourself.

I did have a lot of feeds from very good authers… Sadly most have now closed or just died Did they die from just personal reasons? Maybe… But I also think its because these real blogs get less exposure and no real way to find blogs to connect too.
Yes you have many sites such as BlogCatalog and Entrecard to use… But they get flooded with spam and end up being run with the “Blog v2″ spam sites and just old fasioned websites but with a blog identity.

So this is just something for everyone to think about:

Are you really running a blog? (Blog = Web Log)
