lol and not so lol
fun first, because that's way more important ;)
Just to waste some time:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, IPod, etc.)
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For the first question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button twice.
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...just type it in.

Less Funny:
So there was a dude who had a tv something or other (show? channel? the detail is escaping me) devoted to breaking down the stereo types about Muslims. Then his wife tried to divorce him, so he beheaded her.
TOTAL FAIL.
more personal less funny:
Lately, I've been noticing a lot of general anger towards christians, mainly in the blogs I've been browsing. I get why people frequently dislike the religion, I really do (example, my computer just tried to correct me into capitalizing "christians" but did not give a damn about capitalizing "muslims"), and at least one case I can recall is someone who was once a christian (not you, Rita/LT whatever I'm supposed to call you darling, you are marvelously fair on the matter) and seems to have a lot of anger towards it, probably from their experiences.
However, one other I can recall was a commenter on a blog who had plenty to say about "what the Bible says" but was, frankly, talking out his ass. Completely clueless on something he felt very comfortable running his mouth about. Normally, in these cases, I would politely offer a correction and some links to back up what I was saying, but as this was a conversation touching on not only religion but a bit of a touchy 'political' issue, I was concerned that speaking up would just start a fight. The seeming arrogance of the commenter also fed into this conclusion (look at me, sounding all formal, can't you tell I'm a little nervous even writing it here? I feel like the shy kid trying not to get bullied while people throw around rude or uneducated statements about her, not knowing she's listening... or not caring.).
The other side of it is that some ppl may have come away from that believing that authoritative voice, and I feel like I may have done myself and them a disservice by not speaking up.
My choices - let someone get away with sharing their ignorance (I realize I'm being a little harsh in some of my words, but I don't always have to play nice, I feel a little bit like I've been challenged), or speak up and possibly start a fight in plain view of intelligent people who's opinions I respect, even when I disagree. I still haven't decided which was the right choice.

glad i checked this ere traipsing off 2 bed..**spelling error?** [[:

..occupies a certain distinction in my mode of thinkin, since theyre given to a conscience.
waay back when i waz 16, the only person who cud 'see' what waz inside waz a guy from church. happened to be a professional counselor who did this completely on his own time & dime.
helped show a Path, so i wasnt so lost when we changed addresses, and stuff soon after.
lots of things wrong w/the religion, sure. but realy, isnt the reason ppl r saying all kinds of mean things bout it *Christianity* is cuz they can get away with it??

[(incomprehensibly evyl smile)]
put plainly, stupid ppl arent worth yer bleedin time, dear
oh, and dat song from Annie?
loveit.
if fun could be first more oft, what a different world it wud be
Hi! Thank you for the compliment. It means a lot. :)
You are right that a lot of ex-religious people have anger issues about religion. Esp. people just coming out from it. I think it's normal to have that anger for a period of time. I have really mellowed out from what I used to be like & i could probably mellow out a lot more(I'm working on it). Of course it doesn't excuse rudeness.
I feel like the shy kid trying not to get bullied while people throw around rude or uneducated statements about her, not knowing she's listening... or not caring.).
I can't imagine you getting bullied. I always thought you stood up well for yourself & were very articulate (remember some of the debates we used to get into on the old L>T blog with ron & jg the nutty christian woman?)Sometimes not saying anything is better anyway. My dad used to say it's better not say anything & let people think you are a fool then to open your mouth & prove you are one. A valuable lesson if you ever get involved in public politics. ;]
Sol - yeah, ya gotta chill ppl out a bit before you start the serious bits... it just works better.
Rita - When it really gets to me isn't the rudeness, it's when they're flat out malicious. It seems like a cycle of "well you started it!"
I just have no intentions of continuing it ;)
I learned to speak up because being articulate and more intelligent than other kids your age, bonus if you add in "weird," is exactly what it takes to get bullied, especially at a small, private, christian school. I was also taught a lot of crap that is not even ACTUALLY part of the religion, it's just become steeped in opinion.
jg is actually what inspired me to keep my mouth shut this time. That crazy woman drove me nuts. I had a lot of respect for ron though, even if we usually disagreed
sermon thing made me smyLe
