General | Posted 15 years agoSo I have grown tired of all of the arguments over religion. Everyone is always saying that they are right and that they have the oldest truest religion. Well, I got bored and started researching this claim of oldest religion. It showed some interesting things. The oldest written religion is Hinduism, at about 50,000 years old, even though it isn't really a religion but more of a spiritual tradition. Judaism and Christianity are both Abrahamic religions, which dates back to about 1800BC. There was a recent discovery in Botswana, Africa where archeologist have discovered a religious site that dates about 70,000 years old where they worshiped the Python. The oldest religion can easily be assumed to be Animism, which has been seen in many religions and truly predates all of them, in which everything has a spirit including animals, trees, water, and the earth itself.
Then there is the concept of which good is oldest. in Hinduism, Rama is said to of appeared over a million years ago. Then Krishna, God himself to the Vedic scriptures appeared about 5000 years ago, Buddha around 500 BC, and Christ about 2000 years ago. And then there is the Egyptian religion, which goes back to about 3000BCE. In Which Horus, son of god, was murdered and raised again. Horus is truly the first telling of the story that Christians believe. I wonder what most of them would think if they learned they are following a story that was taken from a religion that their own has considered false. Hell, most stories and Holidays that the Christian religion uses were taken from other religions in an attempt to pull the "pagans" into the christian belief. Like Christmas, where they say they celebrate the birth of Christ. The original holiday as far as I could read was yule in December. Science shows that Christ was born more late July or early August. There was a saint that was born in December, And he has become known as Santa, Saint Nicholas was his name, and he was born in 270 AD.
To be honest, I doubt any of the religions that people follow today are the one true religion. We have probably lost it because it existed before written language. Who knows what our ancestors believed in. Hell, who even knows when they came up with religion. I mean they had to exist and live up to the point where they would have to become concerned with what happens after they die and all that fun jazz that causes people to turn to religion. Religion is what people turn to when they have their fears and need that little boost, sometimes that big boost, that their faith provides them.
Now for the closing. I am not writing this to bash any religion or even promote one. I am simply writing about well documented facts that nobody seems to bother looking up. If i had to choose a religion I would say none. Man created religion, and that is all there is to it in my opinion.
There's an interesting concept for you. The one true maker of everything, creator of man and everything this world has become and even the creator of god himself, is just man. We create or Destines and shape this world and our lives. So live your life knowing that you yourself are in charge of how this world exists and how it will end.

Bleh Sleep, who needs it.
General | Posted 15 years agoIts 4 in the morning and I've got nothing better to do then BS around on here tonight. Sleep isnt going to be coming anytime soon so why not. Honestly though, how many other furs out there are insomniacs. How many of the Fandom are up this late in their own life, killing time however they can until sleep finally comes. I've decided that I might as well read the journals that i fell behind on, all 750+ of them, or at least the ones that catch my eye. So its back to reading for me, maybe I'll finish them tonight, but I doubt that. I'll probably crack open my book and try to read until i pass out, which will hopefully be soon.
Ask me what you want.
General | Posted 15 years agoOkay, so I've seen these ask me anything memes and figured why not have some fun and do one myself. This is just to see what people want to know about this random horse and to do something to kill time. So have at, ask me anything.
21st Birthday
General | Posted 15 years agoSo yeah, as of today, the 5th of May, I am 21 years old. I am finally accepted by as an adult by all of society. W00t. But anyways, today should be fun. I've got a bit of running around to do in my car, which is dying cuz i cant afford to fix unless everything goes right today. And my first task of the day is going to a job interview, for a job that i desperately need at the moment.
But yeah, to you local furs and friends, I am going to be down at the bars celebrating for a bit. If you are interested in coming out tonight just get a hold of me via note on FA or you can call or text me if you've got my number. If you want to know more details just leave a comment to this journal asking me and i will get back to you.
Later,
Eclipse

I has working computer again!
General | Posted 15 years agoI fainally have a laptop that conects to the internet. It has taken almost 2 years but i'm finally able to access the internet with it. Which is great cuz i can't afford a new one. But i'm running 2000 pro and have only like a gig and a half of space left on it. Now that it works its time to buy a new one. But yeah, Internets are good
500 pageviews
General | Posted 15 years agoSo yeah, 500 pageviews. I'm curiou as to how. I've only ever uploaded 1 pic, and that doesn't even want to open for viewing. So I'm going to guess that these views are from furs browsing my friends pages and going "Lets so who they are watching?" So basically the only reason I'v got so many views is cuz I'v got so awesomelly cool friends on here. *Hugs* You guys are great.

Utah furmeet.
General | Posted 16 years agoWell, its time to head off to utah for the furmeet. The drive should be okay, other than the fact we are fitting 6 people, 3 of which are plus size (myself included ) into a 73 dodge dart. IT is going to be a tight fit. Luckily none of us are germaphobes or something like that. And I am certian that the back seat will be a cuddle seat, especially with two horses in it. And the best part so far is that Iv been awake most of the night. This should be fun. *grins tiredly* yes so much fun.
But it will be worth the trip. It will be nice to see everyone from utah again. I cant wait to give hayrider and cougar-wolf a cuddly hug. They are awesome for that. And to all Utah furs who read this I hope to see you today.
Have fun everyone and I will catch you later at sometime. *hugs*

happy holidays
General | Posted 16 years agoWell, its x-mas eve and I am going to heading off to Oregon tonight to spend tomorrow with the Family. The only problem is that I don't think I have the gas for this trip. So I am going to be running on hope and maybe I will be able to make it there. If not its only so cold out.
And now that I am done with my complaining I want to wish all of my friends, both old and new, A marry x-mas and yule. And that they get what ever it is they wish for. For the 25th is supposed to be a day when dreams come true. Do here's to all of your dreams, wants, desires, and what-have-yous coming true. *Holds up a glass to toast* And I will assume that you would of tinked your glasses cuz I am not going to hold my hand up for ages. *takes a swig* Have a good Holiday everybody. Share the love and tell someone the same.

no more smokes.
General | Posted 16 years agoWell, i decided to quit smoking. I'm not completely sure as to why. Maybe to be spontaneous, maybe cuz i realized how unhealthy it is, or maybe its cuz enough people who are close enough friends asked me to. No matter. The point is that I am down with cigarettes. It is currently 5 am on Sunday morning. The last time I had a smoke was at 5 pm Wednesday evening. This has been the longest I have gone with out a smoke since I started back when I was 17. Good lord I was sad. But I still have to put up with these fucking cravings for a bit. But I'll be better off once all is said and done. So to hell with smokes, and hello to freedom (and spending cash. ha ha).
FA+
