Craziness

Yesterday was insane. I didn't do enough homework over the weekend, so I was trying to squeeze it in before and between classes. Then I had to go straight to work after school, without even seeing my wife for more than a minute. Needless to say, when I got home I was ready for bed.

I really don't know why, but these last couple days it's been really hard for me to focus. My mind just keeps wandering more than it usually does. It's weird.

Hitchens v god

I'm rather ashamed to admit that I just recently discovered Christopher Hitchens. And, while I normally add my own thoughts and commentary to videos when I post them here, in nearly every Hitchens video that I've encountered, I have not a single word to add.

Enjoy.

Do you really believe?

This is Richard Dawkin's talk from yesterday's Reason Rally in Washington DC.  He makes several good points, but the one that stuck out to me the most was when he told people that they should challenge someone when they say they're religious.  The example he gave is when someone says they're Catholic, ask them if they really  believe that when a priest blesses a wafer that it actually turns into the body of Christ, or that the wine actually turns into his blood.  So, this post will be dedicated to me asking any of my reader base who are religious, do you really  believe what your religions teach? For those who are Christian (any denomination thereof), Do you really believe every word of the Bible to be the word of god?  If so, read every word of the Bible and then come back and answer the question again. Do you really believe that a snake tricked Eve into eating fruit that made her suddenly unfit to live in the paradisiacal garden god had just m...

Stand for what is right

 I was raised religious. In my religion, it is customary for young people (roughly teenage years) to receive a special blessing which is given by a patriarch in the community and typed up and presented as a letter for the recipient to keep. In the one I received as a teenager, one of the lines it included was "stand for what is right even if it means standing alone". This is a message which I have taken to heart since that time. I am a relatively stubborn person and I have a strong sense of what I believe to be right and what I believe to be wrong. And I feel very strongly about standing up for what I believe to be right and denouncing the things that I believe to be wrong.  I understand that there are many reasons people had in '16, '20, and just this year to vote for Trump. I know some people reveled in the way he insults certain groups of people--the bullying he openly and unashamedly engages in. I know that many people are largely unaware of the bullying he does, ...
