Shall We Play A Game Professor?

My ice cream flavoring came to day. *hugs it* I got more butter pecan, some chocolate fudge ( which I’ll be using in actual fudge, thank you ) and mint chocolate chip. Gonna try that out in frosting.

Made new smilies yesterday, forgot to blog about em. They’re bumpy, lol.

At least they don’t suck as much as the cutenews default smilies, eh?

Speaking of scripts, I think I finally found THE script for The Mini Sites! Will hopefully be reopening soon, new layout and codes as well.

One more teeny little thing, THIS is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of in my life, I mean Odin save me already! Yes STUPID. If you can call my beliefs stupid, wrong or even evil, then I get to say what I want, too. If you can’t handle it, shut up about my beliefs – when everyone lays off me I’ll lay off them, lol.

I just don’t get how someone can even think of going “You have to change everything you know to be true because my religion says your science is wrong.” There’s NO OTHER religion in the world that can force people that way. It’s Nazi-ism, I tell you! I’d be happy to be the minority if the minority was safe, as it is I find myself torn in everyday situations when religion comes up. Do I tell them what I am/what I believe? Or do I stay safe, stay unostracized, stay alive for that much longer and just nod and smile or even worse, pretend like I agree? If you think I’m making too big a deal of this or making being pagan sound more dangerous than it really is, you’re obviously Christian, Jewish or Aeithist – or someone who lives surrounded by people who either agree with you, or who are oddly – some might even say magickally – caring and forgiving.

I sometimes wonder why I can’t just be like everyone else and believe whatever a preacher tells me? I’m not saying that’s bad – it’s easy. It’s safe. It’s the way to be, even my warped logic tells me this. So why can’t I do it? I can’t tell you that.

I do know that I never really believed it – even as a little kid growing up in a Christian home, I’d be sitting in Sunday School, listening to the stories about Noah, God’s Plan, Jesus and Creation and thinking, “But..what about dinosaurs? What about evolution?”. My problem is that I read too much, always have. I was mesmerized by dinosaurs and history books, books about the ocean, volcanos, outer space. Still am. I’ll still sit on my big butt in front of the TV and wach 3 hours straight of Wild West Tech or History: Lost & Found, or anything else I can find to give me a little more understanding about how everything started – where it’s going.

Does that mean I know that creationism is wrong? Of course not! Until I die I won’t know who’s right and who’s wrong, and neither will you. But why settle for that? What if they do find out exactly where we come from and where we’re going? Why do you hate the idea of evolution so much? It’s just my opinion but “we slowly evolved and adapted to our surroundings” seems to make more sense than “SHEBANG! There were people!”, don’tcha think?

To each their own I guess. I’m in no way against Christianity or any other religion, it’s just that Christianity isn’t satisfied with what it has. And you’re not, admit it. You can’t just believe the way you want, you have to make US believe it, too. Why is that? I’m really curious, because I don’t understand it.

Why can’t you leave us alone and let us believe how we want to believe? Why is it okay for our children to be forced to pray against their beliefs at school, whereas if the roles were reversed you’d have our asses in front of a supreme court judge? Why is it okay for you to display religious plaques, images, text in public places but it’s not for us? Why are our beliefs offensive, but yours are unquestionable? Help me out here, it doesn’t make sense. And yes I’m really asking for answers. We’re not evil, in fact I’ve met a dozen wonderful pagans/atheists/jews for every one nice Christian person. I’m not saying that’s the norm, but it’s something to think about.]]>
