The Novelty Girls

this week. Awesome topic Crystal.

I’m a Christian. Yep, I said it. I believe in God. Heaven. Hell. The Bible. The Ten Commandments. All of that stuff. It was my upbringing and nothing profound has happened in my life to alter my perception of that fact.

However, I also say…to each his/her own. Live “your” life the way you want. I have never and will never hold that against any one. I’m African American. There is too much stuff in my race’s history to hold “who” and “what” you are against you or judge you or be prejudiced against you. I absolutely love that everyone is different. I’ve already stated in a comment, how boring as hell would it be if everyone was the damn same. If there were too many blond haired/skinny/blue eyed OR light skinned/skinny/hazel eyed people in the world…I’d freaking go insane.

God, in his infinite wisdom meant for everyone to be different and for everyone to have a choice to be exactly who they want to be. Yes, some people were born with genetic frailties that make them even “more” different. To me, it’s all about differences. There are always two different sides to the coin. Black/White - Smart/Not So Smart - Those Who Can/Those Who Can’t - Those Who Will/Those Who Won’t.

If everyone were like me, there wouldn’t be a scientist or mathematician in the world. Who’d be around to save anybody then? Who would experiment and try to find cures for the diseases that our mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, suffer from? Again…it’s all about differences. There IS a reason for everything and everybody. Everyone has a purpose. Whether or not we like what that purpose is…good or bad…they are who they are.

Science, in itself, is about discovery. Giving people hope. I’d love a procedure or a drug that could get rid of all murderers, child abusers/molestors/pedofiles, diseases that effect children, deafness, blindness. But where do we cross the line? We’ve already agreed that humans are arrogant. When is too far…too far? When do we say stop? When do we say enough is enough?

In the end, if we’re not able to do this, I think we’ll destroy ourselves in the process of trying to find the perfect cure for everything that is wrong in the world.
