  • I found out today that the tow truck company has been fired from AAA.
    Also, I was reminded that my ex boss’ name is listed as part owner of
    the tow truck company, which means she is going down too. They are
    saying that the company stole 2 million dollars in cars. Lets
    comprehend this for a second. This cars are being given away for
    charity, which means that they are not cars that are of a high value.
    So, lets just assume that each of these cars are worth $5000, maybe
    $10,000 at the most. Do you realize how many cars he would have to have
    stolen? Fuck. Anywho, I have heard from other former co-workers about
    this, and this is what some of them have had to say:
    What a XMAS BONUS this is I love it”
    “I don’t really need anything else for Christmas!”
    He’s been sowing bad seeds and is about to reap a

     bad harvest”
    “Thats fuckin sweet dude, thanks for the update !! That BaStArD will
    finally burn !!! Wonder what his little girlfriend is thinking about
    this…Ha HA”
    So, there you go. Thats just some of the people and it shows how
    severely disliked these people were. The more I thought about it, the
    more I laughed and found joy in it. I talked to Danel tonight about it
    for about a half hour, some people at AAA are shocked, others are not
    suprised at all; all of them think that it couldn’t happen to a bigger
    asshole.

    So, a Republican judge in Pennsylvania has ruled that intelligent
    design faith masquerading as science yesterday. U.S. District Judge
    John E. Jones criticized the “breathtaking inanity” of the 2004
    decision by the Dover Area School Board to insert intelligent design
    into the science curriculum. First of all, I’m shocked that a judge,
    who according to articles is a Republican who goes to church each week
    and was appointed by Bush, would side against creation, or so called
    “intelligent design.” Honestly, I can’t even see how this can even be a
    debate. I don’t understand how something that can never be proved and
    is just theory can even be considered to be taught in school. From all
    that I have read, evolution is pretty damn close to fact and is
    accepted by pretty much every sciencetist. Plus, we also have freedom
    of religion and separation of church and state. So, that pretty much
    means that there shouldn’t even be a debate about this; if we teach
    intelligent design in our schools, we are selling our children short of
    their education. We are discrediting science and doing a disservice to
    educators and students everywhere. We need to teach fact, not opinion
    in our schools. Fact, 4+4 is 8 (at least, I’m pretty sure it is, I
    don’t have a abacus to confirm this); opinion math sucks ass. The way
    I see, creation is just religion’s opinion and without it, their whole
    belief system starts to crumble. I think that teaching creation dumbs
    us down and makes us look like, well, dumbasses.

    When common sense proved creation to be bullshit, the religious leaders
    decided to come up with another fancier sounding term to try to make
    creation sound smart and hence, the stupid term intelligent design
    evolved from creation. Therefore, I think we evolutionists need to come
    up with a fancy sounding term of our own………..you know, something
    like “remarkable indifference”, or “orgasmic changes”. Something that
    really says “hey, people, use some common sense here.” Of course, we
    already have the full backing of science, intellect, and for now, the
    US courts. But, you can damn well bet the creationists are going to be
    trying to come back stronger than ever; I’m sure they will go through
    some sort of metamorphais or evolve into something that they can use to
    argue their side. So, we need to remain vigilant in our defense of what
    makes sense. We need to keep moving forward, even as they try their
    damnest to bring us back to our primitive thinkings.

    Speaking of religion, did anybody watch the Barbara Walters special
    last not on Heaven? I don’t normally watch her, but the Bulls were
    getting whipped by the Charlotte fucking Bobcats (I mean, what the
    fuck!!!) so I switched over and found it very interesting. She
    interviewed a lot of people from a lot of different religions,
    including a Jew (Jackie Mason) a Christian (some born again
    Evil-angelical, the leader of the whole thing, uh, whats his name?), a
    Muslim (a failed suicide bomber, if you fail, you are basically
    screwed) and a Buddhist (the Dalai Lama, spelling please). It was very
    interesting to see people’s belief systems and to sit back and pick it
    apart. I just hope that a lot of people watched it so that they can see
    others views and open their mind, not to try the other religions, but
    instead to lessen the hate and disrespect of others. The 2 things that
    all of these people had in common was an after life, and the unwavering
    belief that their way was the right way, and all the others are fucked
    for not agreeing. Ok, so the Dalai Lama didn’t really believe that the
    others were fucked, but all the others pretty much did. Watching this
    made me feel both hopeful and frustrated. There is still too much
    arrogance in religion. For example, this other Atheist at work that
    watched it too was saying that a lot of people have been coming up to
    her recently trying to talk her into becoming one of them (all of them
    Christians, mind you); one lady even went as far as to give her a book
    to read. A born again at work found out I was a non-believer and told
    another co-worker that “I just don’t know and I need to learn.” Danel
    always tells me I need to “find Jesus and have Jesus in my life,
    otherwise I will go to hell.” Who the fuck do these people think they
    are? They sad part is that they think they are “saving” me and doing
    their Christian duty. But, how arrogant of them to try to tell me how
    to lead my life and tell me what to do. They don’t preach to me about
    other things, like what to eat or what kind of car to drive. These
    people, they are so brainwashed and diluted into thinking their way is
    the only way, they don’t stop to see that their way is not the right
    way for everybody. It pisses me right the fuck off. And if I turn them
    down, you know what they say? Ok, well then I will pray for you. No, I
    don’t want you to fucking pray for me. I don’t need your prayers and am
    offended that you say that to me. Sure, I know you THINK your
    intentions are good, but damnit, my beliefs are  private and my
    own business (I’m well aware of the irony of me saying that it is
    private as I put this on a website for the whole world to see, so no
    need to point that out) and I don’t need your prayers, but instead,
    just your respect for my beliefs and choices.

  • Wow.
    I watched this awesome show the other day on the Science Channel called Alien Planet. It was about what life might me like on another planet, and how we might explore it with the use of robotic probes. It was pretty neat.
    Sampling other religions is fun, It’s just hard to really get a feel for something when you don’t believe in it. I don’t identify as a Christian even though I’m holding jebus to that stuff in the new testiment. I practice meditation from the Qabala, and I like to read people their birth charts. When it really comes down to it, I think belief has more power than people think. I noticed in my time at Bible College that when people really didn’t think God heard them, it seemed their prayers were never heard. Yet when others really believed they could heal with a touch, I’ve seen it happen.
    I’ve heard it said that we are spiritual beings having a human experiance in this life. I like that one a lot.
    This seems to be a hot issue for you.
    What is the difference between praying for someone and simply wishing them good health and good luck? I can understand not wanting someone to say “Oh well, I’ll pray for you.” in that tone that TRUST ME I’ve heard and I regret to say, I’ve probably used. That is snotty. There’s an awesome prayer from the Anglican Book of Commen Prayer that says “Heavenyl father, help us to ask only what accords with your will, and those good things which we dare not, or in our blindness cannot ask, grant us amen.” I think that one is cool. It admits that we really have no idea what to ask for and therefore casts a blanket request for what is good for us. Many of the folks that wrote the older prayers were much better Christians than the ones on TV.
    I heard something from a Jewish friend of mine that sounded like: “any religion less than 2000 years old is a cult.” That makes me smile too. It reminds me that religion, like time, is an invention of man in an attempt to explain the unknown. That hints that both are realated to fear. and fear is the one evil that drives man to do his worst.
    Good post today, thanks.

  • I totally agree.  My high school wasn’t allowed to teach evolution, and i thought it was the fucking stupiest thing ever.  It’s in the science books, therefore, it’s proven, and a fact. 

    I hate conservative religious uptight people.
