I have an extra day off school this week thanks to a day of non-attendance. Apparently, it’s actually supposed to be called Good Friday, which someone told me was the Friday directly before Easter, but they can’t use "Good Friday" to offer a day off in school because it’s religious. So then, I’m wondering, how come we get Christmas off when that’s also religious? Then I realized we don’t – Christmas just "coincidentally happens" to fall during the weeks of winter break.Because public schools are supported and funded by the government and taxes, they are required to honor freedom of religion, and not promote one religion over another. I don’t see why this rule is still in effect, seeing as it’s pretty obvious all public schools (or mine, at least) honor Christian holidays, and nobody’s doing anything about it.

Even more interesting is that America seems to honor Christian holidays. Public schools can’t have Good Friday off because it has to do with Easter, but workplaces everywhere else, including government jobs, honor holidays like Easter and Christmas, and give vacations to their workers. So what’s the point of pretending the entire school’s not Christian-based, when obviously the rest of America is?

Either way, I’ve had difficulty holding a religion ever since I was little, and for the longest time, I declared that I was an atheist. In the recent past, I’ve made a few conclusions, and I’m not quite sure about being an atheist anymore. I decided to document my thoughts by making my final AP English Language and Composition paper about it – the fourth dimension as a religion. I know that the Bible states this legendary God being is our creator, but it provides insufficient evidence for me to believe it. But what if God was in the fourth dimension? Just like a two-dimensional being could not look in the direction of the third dimension, what if we, three-dimensional beings, can’t see God because we can’t look in the direction of the fourth dimension? All of a sudden science starts making a connection with religion, and connections are made.

This is where things get complicated. Luckily, I have the rest of the quarter to write the paper. I wanted some general input on this, which is why I made this the topic of my blog post today. Comment with your views on your religion and what you think about the fourth dimension; your input will be greatly appreciated.
