Views on Christianity

 Roses are red,

Violets are blue.

God's blood is shed,

Just for you.


How do you know that is true? How do you know Christianity is 'right'? I grew up going to church, but now, I am questioning my religion. In the late 15th into the 16th century, before slavery, the Europeans travelled to the Caribbean to wipe the 'uncivilized' culture of the indigenous and taught them Christianity, which was considered civilized. The same group of people who captured Africans brought them to the Caribbean and sold them into slavery. They were kept as slaves and forced to work on plantations for so long. They were colonized and taught Christianity. According to revised history, my ancestors were ill-treated during slavery. How can I trust that what was taught during those times were accurate? I'm not saying that I don't believe in Christ, but I am a little cautious. At this point, you cannot go wrong if you do what's right.

Her daughter knows that smoking kills, she was what her grandfather went through but she was already addicted and hoping she can overcome the addiction before it is too late.

I feel like the world would be a better place if the production and sales of cigarettes were made illegal in Antigua and Barbuda. Don't you agree? Cigarettes are deadly and legal. Whereas cannabis can be used for medical purposes, yet it is illegal but decriminalized. I say legalize it, what do you say?

The Ugly Truth About Beauty by Dave Barry(pg. 568)

The passage "The Ugly Truth About Beauty" by Dave Barry was quite funny yet informative. The author started the introduction by engaging with his audience, making a statement and asking a question. His choice of words captured my attention and made me want to read on. The passage allowed me to view beauty from a male's point of view. I loved how the comparison he used o both males and females. I definitely did not regret reading on.
