Firework



I posted this video on my Facebook page a while back, but I just wanted to take a little time to explain a bit about why I like it so much. Here is a link to Katy Perry talking about her inspiration and purpose for this song: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D1VClUOTOwTc%26feature%3Drelmfu&h=f3c01
I think she's having budget issues because she couldn't afford the top half of her dress in that interview, so you may want to just listen and not watch that video.

Anyway, I am a really sarcastic person. I constantly tease people, make jokes, and don't take things seriously very often. But, in all of this teasing and sarcasm, I never mean to hurt anyone. I only mean to have fun and make people happy. In all seriousness, I do want people to be happy and to feel good about themselves.

I don't feel like I've had any big self-esteem problems lately. In fact, I feel very good about myself. I try my best to help other people be happy and love themselves. I reach out to my friends and family whenever I see a head that hangs down or a troubled heart that needs comforting. I like to know that people feel good about themselves. I think that everyone is a firework--a bunch of dazzling light waiting to show itself. I like to let my light shine and to help other people do the same. I'm definitely going to try harder to bless the lives of others. Each person has so much to offer this world. How wonderful would this world be if we all let our light shine bright.

Anyone is allowed to comment on this blog. As you can tell from reading my blog, I am very opinionated and I'm not afraid to share my opinion. You're welcome to disagree with me as mildly or vehemently as you like, but be aware that I will reply with my own opinions, very strongly. If you don't want that kind of open discussion, or you think it will hurt your feelings, then please avoid posting. I do try to be respectful, but my verbology often comes across as brusque.

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 made for her? Do y

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. He is so articulate and does such a good job of presenting his case that I couldn't possibly add anything to it.  I would definitely be interested if any of my readers have any comments to make in regards to what Hitches says in this video. Enjoy.

The fundamental theorem of atheism

I think many times, with all the discussion of religion, science, atheism, etc, it can be easy to lose sight of the real purpose of what one is trying to accomplish.  Of course, this can happen in any discussion.  But, one of those ever-famous text-images found on Facebook caught my attention today.  (I do think it's funny, but from what I have seen a basic fact about human psychology, that people are more likely to read text when it is in an image--even if the image is purely text--than when it is just simply written text.  I wonder if they've done any studies on that.) So, to bring my own focus back to where it should be, here is what I will call the "fundamental theorem of atheism".  Yes, that's a very mathematical title--every branch (and sub-branch) of mathematics has a "fundamental theorem".  So, here it is for atheism.   The burden of proof lies on those who claim that there is a god to produce evidence of its existence .  So, here's the ima
