Random Thoughts For Today

Why is it when you disagree with the beliefs of a Christian, they call you names and condemn you to hell? Where in the Bible does Jesus say, "Love thy neighbor as yourself... unless he doesn't share your beliefs, in which case it's totally cool to call him a 'dick' and spit on him. I give you my word, dude, it's all good if you do that."

I get confused when I read about a Creationist who don't like the idea of humans having evolved from something else, especially if that something that we came from resembles a monkey. It's not like anyone is saying that monkeys and humans are the same, but they might have had the same starting point. It's kinda like being scared that bread and beer are the same, because they had the same wheaty starting point. But, if you're a Creationist, this obviously cannot be the case, because wheat is still around, and if it had really magically turned into either beer or bread, it would be gone.

I'm pretty sure my mother and father made me through sexual activity. I wonder why, then, Christians want me to believe that God made me when he so clearly did not.

There are many people who believe that we should not teach our children sexual education before they need it (read: when they get married, and maybe not even then). I believe that we should test this theory by forcing all these people to go sky diving without telling them how to do it first. The ones who survive need to be tested to make sure they aren't made of rubber.

Grand Theft Auto is a violent video game that has sold millions of copies over the many years it's been around. Marilyn Manson is a rock group that has sold millions of records over the many years they have been around. Many people like to blame childhood violence and immoral behavior on Grand Theft Auto and Marilyn Manson. I would like to add up the number of copies of Grand Theft Auto that have been sold with the number of records Marilyn Manson has sold-- let's guess it's more than a million-- and then add up all the cases of childhood violence there have been which have been blamed on Grand Theft Auto and Marilyn Manson and make a ratio statement out of those numbers. If we find that the numbers look like this ------>1/2 (one child per two Grand Theft Auto games and Marilyn Manson records), then I think there might be a good case for Grand Theft Auto and Marilyn Manson causing violence. I'd even suggest that if the number looked like this ---------> 1/1000 ------> you could say there was some correlation. However, I'm guessing the number looks more like this ------>14/95,978,338. That number, to me, doesn't really look like a number that might suggest Marilyn Manson and Grand Theft Auto had anything to do with violence in children. But that's me: The Thinker.
