Is God afraid of women?

Whats the deal with organized religion and women? Check out any major religion. and the following things are true across the board -
1. The concept of original sin - the woman is supposed to have brought man down from god's pedestal. Hence the religious explanation of menstrual pain and pregnancy.
2. the sanctity of childbirth, the uncleanliness of menstruation, and the underlying paradox - Even today, Chennai in India to Kansas in the USA, women are not supposed to enter a place of worship (church, temple, mosque, u name it) during their menstrual period, notwithstanding the fact that the fluid that the woman casts out every month is the only thing in this world capable of creating another human form.
3. the concept of woman as an object of desire, distraction and evil - any religion you take, the woman is the one who seems to be the cause of distracting man from his purpose, never mind the fact that the bugger had no business getting distracted in the first place.
4. Sex - Do it 'coz you have to, but you cant enjoy it, thats bad - Anyone who is not a virgin would know that in sexual energy and passion, men are woefully inadequate in front of women. Sex, for a man, is but another way of marking a conquest, but its the most enjoyable thing in the world for a woman. No wonder, then, that in any organized religion sex is considered impure except when done for the express intent to produce offspring, and abstaining is considered a path to greatness.
The curious thing is, all the so-called 'pagan' religions, like the adivasi beliefs in india, the aborigine and native-american beliefs, and pre-christian beliefs in Europe, worshipped woman. All their rituals, all processions, and functions were held in praise of the female form. These are the guys who are ridiculed today as being backward and primitive.
My premise is that organized religion, whether its hinduism, christianity, islam, judaism, or the parsis, was created with the express intent to control women, and to curb sexual thought and freedom. And it seems to have worked. worse still, women themselves have bought into it, and are the most strident followers.

I refuse to tiptoe quietly through life only to arrive safely at death

Should we be on a never ending quest for that perfect job, the perfect relationship, a perfect life? Should a guy (like me) who gets real frustrated with his job real fast, be praised for not settling for less, or reviled for not being stable enough? Is Elizabeth Taylor just a selfish bitch for marrying half of America, or is she a beacon for those who seek true love? When, and how, do you decide, this is what i want from life? and are you a pussy for making that decision and stopping your quest?

Diary of a lost soul

When life trips you up and grinds your face to the dust, be happy...atleast you will have the getting up to look forward to. Imagine if you never fell, never tasted the dust...but never rose either, just crawled through life with bent back and drooping shoulders, praying that you might have the balls to fall, or the luck to rise, but ending up with neither.Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever felt like chucking it all? Did you ever dare to think that you should actually look forward to your next day at work? Do you actually crawl through life, waiting for the next promotion, next relationship, or next vacation to fool you into thinking that anyone cares a damn about you, that more than 2 people will actually remember you for more than 2 seconds after you die?If yes, then welcome to my world. If no, then you are fooling yourself, and you can always comment here and tell me why i'm wrong...
