against interpretation

kata susan sontag, interpretation adalah suatu cara manusia menjelaskan sesuatu yang tidak bisa dimengerti oleh manusia itu.

well, it goes something like that. correct me if i'm wrong.

eh eh, it's been ages ya since i haven't write about religion? hahaha

well, tonight i feel like discussing religion as your identity. personally, i think religion is something we share with god, not something that you show to the world. i'm just not one to join groups like proud to be a muslim or whatever. about flying spaghetti monster, it's a parody religion, different story.

anyway, honestly, i am extremely annoyed that my ID still says i'm a muslim. allow me to be frank, i am NOT PROUD of that fact. AT ALL. that 6 letter word is just soooooooo against my identity. and isn't the point of an ID card is to show people your identity? i think it's stupid that we can only choose 5 religions. who are the governments anyway to declare that those 5 religions are the 'right' owns. i've always wanted to make a change. i HAVE to, before i die. i have to and i WILL. i didn't know what i should make a change in, i always thought i'll know when i know. and today i just felt a lightbulb being turned on above my head. i want to erase that STUPID rule. the one where we have to have a religion. that stupid effing frigging rule that has no meaning at all. that forces people to make a choice and lie about their own identity. emang siiiiii, my identity is my identity, fuck what my ID says, but i can't hide the fact it matters. all this time i've been telling my friends a lot of stuff about religion. i NEVER EVER want them to follow my path and be religulous like i am now or whatever, i just want people to be true to themselves. i wish people could stand up for what they believe in. i wish people would start to QUESTION and not swallow everything like they're some kind of robot. oh come on even a robot processes what it receives, shouldn't we?????????? we were given BRAINS by you're so-called gods for god's sake.

it annoys me when people who calls themselves religious gets stuck with questions they can't answer and they end up going 'wah ga tau deh gw klo itu.' nyet, and you're STILL sticking to what you tell yourself to believe. no offence, i don't want to live a lie. i don't want to be a person who trace my rosary all day and chant prayers in a tounge i don't even understand.

gosh seriously, don't waste your brains. THAT's called being unthankful.
