Spiritual Swag...tO B RELIGIOUS OR NOT TO BE...

...OKAY, so since last year and younger, I've been a bit "IN THE MIDDLE" when it comes to religion and what I believe in and my purpose. I blame it on my self for not taking the time to explore, learn, and understand different religions and truths.

But the whole reason I bringing this up, because I'm on my quest for the TRUTH, and youtuberelatedmyauss to this video:

KAnYe & Lil Wayne for the lack of a better source on religion, lol, jk:It seems that "not believing in religion" is becoming a trend, just like the vocoder, among rappers; as two of hip-hop's most controversial and talked about emcee's have spoken out on their religious disbeliefs. Rapper Lil Wayne recently stated that he doesn't write his lyrics and he doesn't believe in anything written down, including the Bible. "I don't believe the Bible, nothing that's written, because nothing that's written is to be believed. Well... There is one [book] I read and get information from. The damn dictionary," he told GQ magazine. Wayne is actually very passionate about his belief in spoken words and he also talks about his spiritual side quite a bit. Later in the interview he says, "Family is always first. But this is under nothing else, except God... I pray every night and day. That's about it." When GQ asks to whom he prays to, "Whoever's listening," Weezy replied. His rapping counterpart, Kanye West also delved into religion in a recent interview with Bossip.com. When asked if he is a Christian in response to his recent quote, "I don't believe in religion, and I don't believe in giving it all up to Jesus." Yeezy stated, "I believe in God. Christianity wasn't an option when I was growing up, it was the only thing. It wasn't like I was given the decision at the time. You know how you decide that you want to be a Doctor or a Lawyer or a painter or a basketball player or whatever? You're not given a decision of what religion you want. Your parents just give it to you. Like, you're a Jew or you're a Muslim or you're a Christian," he explained. "I feel like religion is more about separation and judgment than bringing people together and understanding. That's all I'm about. I'm about accepting people for who they are. Live and let live. I fully embrace every culture there is." West goes on to say that he "would never go into religion," and doesn't believe in "'this everybody's going to hell thing,'" adding that "everyone who isn't a Christian is in the wrong." "I believe in Jesus as an icon, but I don't feel the responsibility to put my life on Jesus," he expressed. The "Jesus Walks" hitmaker said, "I feel I need to take responsibility for my own successes and failures. Why I say, 'I don't give it all up to Jesus' is because there are a lot of people who don't take responsibility for their lives, and always think Jesus is gonna handle it. And, that's what I refuse to do."

III.KARL MARx's:

"Religious suffering is at one and the same time the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."
(Karl Marx / 1818-1883 / A Criticism of the Hegelian Philosophy of Law / 1844)
