Watching the video of the Westboro Baptist church this past week was a real eye opener. I had heard of the church before and I think in a previous class I had seen a short clip different than the one shown. I know that everyone has the right to believe and say what they want but I found the video disturbing and disrespectful to everyone that the church aimed their hate at. But if we take the time to think about it, I have noticed a lot of churches discriminate in some way.
 During one of our masses, the father said that anyone who does not belong to this church, are gay, don't come to church on a regular basis, or anyone who was different in that matter were not allowed here. I was furious, I have plenty of friends who are different religions, gay, and I personally believe that we could pray from home so I decided I wasn't gonna go except for Christmas and Easter to please my grandma.
I know one of my friends religions belief in eternal families and they find our wedding vows "until death do you part" strange. To them that statement means that we don't have an eternal family or won't be together once we die, which is not what we believe at all.
Why do we have to hate others because they are different or have different views. Now this does NOT mean i agree with what the Westboro Baptist Church does, absolutely not. I was horrified that those little kids were holding the signs, being forced to participate because if they wouldn't I can only imagine what would happen to them. They might've been disowned then, its bad enough that they do that to those who change their hearts later. This next comic slightly describes how I felt during the video.

And this next one is for comic relief and I truly believe that they should change their thinking, or just keep their thoughts to themselves.

Alert: I have never done any blogging in my life so I have no idea if I am doing this right or if anyone will comment but here goes. 

This weeks topics were confusing to me as well as intriguing. I was placed in a group with the sexuality concept and I was confronted with a very controversial question. "Do you believe sexuality is a choice or something you are born with?". Honestly, I really don't know, like many people, I could never distinguish the difference between sex and sexuality. Even with personal experiences of knowing people who are gay or see themselves as the opposite sex. To me it never mattered because they were my friends and family and I was just happy for the fact they were happy with whatever they decided. That's why when I was asked the question what is sexuality, I gave an answer that apparently was different to what my classmates were thinking. I said a little bit of both but I leaned more towards choice because I thought you are born with certain characteristics, genetics, and develop your own unique personality but you choose what you want to act on. Its our free will that gives us the choice on who we want to be. However my confusion with the topics just made my answer even more confusing.

So for my external media and since I still trying to understand the differences of our topics, I thought, pictures say a thousand words, why not let them speak for me. I am also a photographers daughter so I will probably be adding a lot of pictures with my blogs. As well as some comedy because comedy makes every confusing and seriously controversial topic better.
