so....
As an Existentialist I believe it destroys a person's individualism to make a person become something that people in power desire. Its dehumanizing and it reduces people to merely an object. Existentialism stresses that a persons judgment is the determining factor for what is to be believed rather than by arbitrary religious or secular world values.
Specifically, I am referring to religion and how over zealous religots (die hard-s) seem to want to push their theories on me. I mean I have reviewed and comprehended many different religions and although I respect it for what it is and what it means to others I don't necessarily believe in it.
So this correlates to an experience I had. I wore a rosary the other day, even though, I'm a proud agnostic and my friend said I was a walking contradiction which was unsettling so I had to set him straight.I simply explained how the cross is one of the most ancient symbols of our time and I can't help it if I appreciate its aesthetics regardless of the religious connotations.
Ugh! People, live and let live.....
