Great
Nick, you’ve challenged me to think outside the box now disappear
into your little notes section of facebook and don’t’ make it
personal.
People infuriate me. Every reason I am the way I am
comes from how I see people struggling with how to relate or explain
themselves. It’s why I have a handful of “friends.” It’s why
I just don’t give a fuck about apologizing for what I say and do. I
reflect the kind of respect I see people giving to their opinions and
lives. Why am I the radical one for asking someone to make up their
mind about whether the world was created in 7 days or not? Why should
I have to ask that question in the first place? And even afterward
still get to be the pushy asshole atheist who can’t just “let me
believe what I believe.” After a “conversation” I just had I
can only say that it doesn’t take a religious lunatic or
“steadfast” Christian to say and do the exact same completely
frustrating and nonsensical maneuvers in response to surface
scratching questions. Like I knew I had it in me to make people cry,
but I didn’t think it was because I could ask them questions. It
isn’t just with never happened religious conversations either. I
just read a note from someone who says they don’t really know
anything about the candidates, but doesn’t like war, yet wants to
vote for McCain because, well she doesn’t know, but wants her vote
to count, but isn’t really interested in learning about health care
or taxes. AHHHHHH!!!!! Also, she doesn’t believe in global warming
no matter how much ice they say is melting into the ocean…..
I’m
so unbelievably pissed. The main reason my system in the last blog
wouldn’t work is because there are people so unbearably nonchalant
about their ignorance, that if they were become fully aware of just
how unbearable they sounded, they couldn’t hold they’re idea that
“you believe what you believe, and I believe what I believe” so
deeply. And what’s a more devastating travesty than that. To have
to forego the long fought for excuse that has dragged them through
their faith for so long. If it would evoke even the slightest tinge
of anger or frustration from you seeing someone walking around the
mall with a sign saying something like “All niggers are baby
aborters” you might be able to understand just how angry I am
hearing the same damn things that don’t make any more sense than
that, over and over and over and over, never moving anywhere are
making me. Your first thought isn’t “How great freedom of speech
is, right on guy!” You aren’t so happy that his belief makes him
happy and so motivated to just get out there and share it. Hell, you
might find it necessary to go up to him and try and explain just how
devoid of logic and harmful that view is on society. Why the fuck am
I the bad guy? I’m fully capable of just being a belligerent ass
who’s only goal is to come up with the most inventive ways to
offend and belittle, and yet I don’t. I get words put in my mouth,
people tell me they’re being attacked, I get all this protest when,
if I had it my way, I’d just post video links and entire books
instead of talking at all. That’s all my “belief” system is
coming from. Those are my “opinions.” It simply does not matter
how you feel then. You don’t believe in the big bang, you see how
the evidence supports it. I don’t believe the earth was created in
7 days because I’ve had an elementary education, not because “it’s
just something to believe in that makes me happy.” I literally just
want to fucking scream when we can’t even pretend, not even pretend
for the sake of English and logic, that we’re talking about the
same fucking thing like days being days.
I refuse to give up.
I will not allow tears and hurt feelings stop me from trying to help
people see that it is NOT OK to just believe what you believe and
answer questions with “well I can’t really explain it.” It is
not okay to think that a prayer you’ve been asking to come true for
years finally happens on your deathbed is a miracle. It is not okay
to DENY GLOBAL WARMING for fucks sake! All of this is wrong. Patently
wrong! Not because “I SAY SO” or “I REALLY DEEP DOWN FEEL THIS
WAY.” I am literally ashamed to be part of humanity.

it just
confuses me when someone says they don't like violence and war,
but will vote for the candidate who wants violence and war |

But that
candidate would be anti-abortion and gay marriage. Those are
the issues that will turn this country around. I don't care if
a candidate is against war and corruption. If he doesn't wear
an American flag pin on his sportcoat, I'm not voting for him!

I love your
point of people voting just because they want to. Especially
Hillary's feminist supporters. They're holding grudges because
Obama won, and are trying to band together to vote for McBush.
Oh wait, he doesn't give a SHIT about women's rights. Roe Vs
Wade? He wants to get rid of it. He calls his wife cunt on
camera. The war, which many feminists absolutely disgust? He
loves it and wants to go to war with practically every country
on the other side of the world. And yet these feminists support
him because Obama beat Hillary. Seriously?
If you know
about candidates, and you share their beliefs, then go for it.
If you have no clue, and want to vote to be cool, OR vote for a
candidate that doesn't care about you just because you're
holding a grudge against the more sensible candidate,
gtfo.
I'm hoping Obama can get this country back on
track. Maybe he'll turn it around enough that I might like
living here instead of planning on moving to Europe once I'm
well off, money wise. |

And whoever
denies global warming is a complete and utter dumb ass... Not
trying to sound mean, but uh, take a look around the world's
climate shifts.
