Cleveland is one stressful place to live eh?

Well no shit.

The study took crime rates, unemployment and health of residents into account when creating the rankings.

According to the study, Cleveland has the most robberies per 100,000 residents and had an increased number of deaths from heart failure, hypertension and stroke.

With Cleveland being at #3 on the list of most stressful places to live and work, Los Angeles being #2 and Detroit being #1. What do we got here let’s see. We have a stupid Healthline in the middle of Euclid that cost millions to make; that no one rides because one way is $3.00 and an all day pass is $5.00. Not only is it dangerous but a complete eye sore. There is more construction going on than there are people who are employed. They’re constantly building pointless buildings, like another art museum for example. We have PLENTY of those already. The people here are nasty in every sense of the word and it smells. If it wasn’t for my grandmother, I would of been left. It is also in high poverty. Nearly 65% of Clevelanders are in poverty.

The east side of Cleveland should just be bulldozed and started over…including the Cleveland Clinic who is ever so desperately trying to get the blacks from over there so they can finish knocking down 100′s of homes to throw up parking garages. Besides the Cleveland Orchestra and The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland, Ohio sucks. Just knowing that fact could stress anyone out.

The best and brightest left years ago and took business and opportunity with them. All that’s left are those who complain about change, take public handouts [either from welfare or from public sector jobs that create nothing of value for the region] and are fiercely Democratic. Thirty years ago, Cleveland was the home of more Fortune 500 HQ’s than any other city outside of New York. Not any more! They saw the light and moved elsewhere. If Clevelanders could visit other areas of the country and see what good governance and a thriving business community [strong chamber of commerce] can accomplish, they would truly understand why the city is called the ‘mistake by the lake’.

Well, it’s my birthday

Managed to make it to another godless year. Although the news I received yesterday has put a funk on the rest of the year, I guess I shouldn’t allow it to ruin my birthday at least.

I doubt I’ll be getting any presents, I never expect any to begin with.  Although I do have classes today; night classes no less. My little sister is making me a birthday cake. No telling when I’ll be available to go and pick it up though. I’ll probably sleep the whole day then get up and go to school. So I guess that’s a present to me, a very good one [I am getting Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock as a late birthday present]. I say that because, I’m finally in school and I feel I at least accomplished that much this year. Everything else I tried at crashed and burned – including relationships.

While I’m sitting here listening to Foo Fighters Greatest Hits, and typing this blog, I should be thinking of what I’m going to do today besides sleeping. You what? I’m going to clean up the house and work on my homework for English class. I could also begin to work on my math homework that is due in 4 weeks. I must say, college is nothing like high-school.

Anyway, I’m 23 today and everything is pretty much the same. I’m still an ass, I’m still in pain, and I’ve always felt way older than I really am. 7 years ago doctors told me I wasn’t going to make it to my 23rd birthday. Well here I am. Just 2 years ago I was in a car accident that almost knocked the right side of my body to the left. Just years before that in between I was in more car accidents that I should be alive to talk about.

I’m not a person who will probably never have their life flash before their eyes. I didn’t get out the car or off the ground and say, ‘Thank God I’m alive!”. I’m an Atheist for one and for two death is inevitable. If I don’t accomplish everything I didn’t set out to do before I die, it’s not gone matter when I’m dead.

So I’m Buying Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock…

Posted: September 5, 2010 by Lee in Video Games

For a late birthday gift anyway. I doubt if I’ll even play it much since  I have class and all. I just figured since I didn’t get around to buying Guitar Hero 5, I’ll give Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock a try. I saw through a few videos and the set-list‘s for the game that one of my utmost favorite songs is going to be on there; Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody.

What frustrates me about this franchise is that they watered the game down. I miss the challenge in the game like Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock gave me. Anything close to that after that was Guitar Hero: Metallica. People cried, bitched and moaned that the game was too hard and I guess Activision listened because Guitar Hero: Aerosmith was an insult on the franchise. It felt as if they had nothing else better to do at the time so they threw that monstrosity together and stuck Aerosmith in it.

People are saying that Rock Band 1 and 2 was better than Guitar Hero: World Tour through Guitar Hero 5 simply because they picked the right songs. I have to agree to some extent. I really loved Rock Band 2 but I really hated their highways and notes. I’m planning on buying that game back some time this month because although their highway and notes are sub-par, their choice of songs were great and that outweighs anything else.

There’s really no point in fan-boys crying or better yet ranting about how one game is better than the other. They’re two different games for a reason. If they were the same in every little detail, you wouldn’t want to play it. I assume most who play these games play them to play their favorite songs. I must say though, Guitar Hero have been lacking in that area. I’m pretty much dumbfounded as to why they pick every other song by the Foo Fighters besides My Hero. It’s fitting isn’t? I guess it has something to do with legal use issues but don’t Activision at least listen to their consumers?

Let’s get on the guitar. Yes, being who I am I bought the bundle pack because it’ll be pretty messed up if my Gibson guitar finally give way when this game comes out. I doubt that’ll happen though. I’ve had it, strummed the hell out of  it, stressed it, dropped it, accidentally wet it and it’s still kicking to this day. It plays as if it just came fresh out the wrapping.

My main concern is this; will the guitar – called Battle Axe hold a candle to my Gibson? Can I strum the living shit out of it without worrying about the strum bar snapping? Will this guitar’s strum bar at least have a better grip? That was the only flaw with the Gibson; my hand would slip sometimes because you know, they sweat.  Besides the axes being backwards compatible with other guitars and games and having interchangeable face-plates will this guitar last without the whammy bar crippling?

I may sound like I’m making a big deal out of a piece of plastic but, I pre-ordered the bundle last month. I’m just hoping it’s worth the $116.89 [that's with tax and shipping by the way]. I’m a gamer who only have Guitar Hero games for her console. That’s pretty much the only time I’ll touch one now. When I built my gaming rig, I haven’t looked back since.

I’ll have to study the set-list more because I may have just half-assed listened/read it. All in all, I know I’m going to enjoy this game regardless because I’ve been with them since the beginning. If they’re up to snuff or not, Queen is on there and hopefully in the long run they’ll add more of Queen through DLC and other bands that I like…hopefully. I still have to download the DLC for Guitar Hero:  Metallica; glad I reminded myself. I simply want to play Suicide and Redemption. So if I have to fork up some Microsoft Points to play it then so be it.

Here’s a side note:

Folks, gaming companies in some shape or form, milk their consumers in some way. Look at EA with The Sims 3 and hell The Sims 2 still? Also to you PC gamers, just because you’re a Call of Camping fan-boy and they screwed you over with  Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 by not giving you dedicated servers among many of other things doesn’t make them ‘evil’. Get your joystick out your ass ok honey?

I’m not naïve or oblivious to any facts. I’m just saying, if you really hate what Activision is doing, don’t support them. Don’t say you’ll go on eBay to get Call of Duty: Black Ops when it comes out in November to keep from supporting Activision because believe it or not, the money makes it back to them. The people you buy the games from can’t pull the games out the crack of their asses. The games come from Activision. So you’re basically supporting them through someone else. I mean they can’t be that evil if you still want to buy their games through eBay. Gamers with a chip on their shoulders can be quite the knee-slapper.

My First Day of School

My first day of school was interesting. Especially since my ex is in two of my classes. We were friends – good friends way before we were together. He left Ohio for a while; I forget why but I guess he’s back to finish school I guess. Of all places to come back to, he comes back to Cleveland, Ohio.

Anyway, that was one highlight of the day. I ran into my mother too. I haven’t talked to her or heard from her since around this time last year. She looked okay but she was pissed. She’s always pissed about something so it’s nothing new.  Classes of course were a breeze because it was the first day. It’s not what I expected though. I expected the classrooms to be tiny and filled with ignorant people who was pretty much only there for the refund check from financial aid. They actually seems as if they want to learn. My ex of course is my math partner because he’s good at math so he’s going to help me with my math as much as possible. I really hate that subject. He’s also gone take me to the air show [maybe] Monday since school is closed and Tuesday is my birthday.

With one of my classes being early in the morning and the other one that day being late in the afternoon, I find walking back and forth to school to be tiresome but in the long run it will benefit me. Walking is good exercise. It’s just a good thing I don’t live too far from the school where it’s in a decent walking distance.

I pretty much had an okay day. I just hope I succeed.

Pregnant with Ex-Boyfriends Baby

Let’s say you have a boyfriend, that you love a lot. Certain circumstances in the relationship causes you to not see your boyfriend as often as you like. You talk to him on the phone, or via internet; barely get to see him at all. His life is full of work and no play. Your ex-boyfriend see more of you than you see your boyfriend. As time go by and you see less and less of your boyfriend, during this time, your ex-boyfriend has pretty much moved in with you. Feelings begin resurfacing and one thing leads to another. You pick this day to lay down and have sex with him. Few weeks go by and your period haven’t come. Come to find out you’re pregnant. You’re not mad, or sad. You want to tell your ex-boyfriend the news, so you do. He’s really happy about the pregnancy and think you should come clean to the guy you supposedly love.

So you call him and he’s happy to hear your voice because his day have been tiring and you’re exactly what he needed to make his day better. You smile a little; you look down at your stomach and rub it. Before you can get a word out, he goes on and on about how much he misses you and wish he had more time to spend with you. He then goes on and say that you should move in with him. You sit there quiet and hope he doesn’t notice the awkward silence between you and him. He waits for you to respond; it’s only been 2 seconds since the awkwardness but it feels like minutes.

“Listen, can we meet some place? I really want to talk to you. We can talk about all of that then”. You get his hopes up and his day again has gotten that much better. You can feel him smiling through the phone. Wondering why he didn’t catch onto the uneasiness in your voice; you conclude that because since you guys were never really around each other, he was pretty much naïve to the fact. He sets up a day to meet and ends the phone call with “I love you” and “I’m sorry that I’ve neglected you”. You hang up and you sit there looking at your cell phone, wondering if this was a good idea. “Maybe I should have just forgotten about him. He probably wouldn’t have even noticed I moved on as busy as he is“. It’s not guilt that’s driving you to do this but, morality. The guy loves you and you love him. As much as this will hurt him, you only feel that it’s right to tell him.

You’ve always had a special place in your heart for your ex. He pretty much never left your life; heart, body, mind and soul. For some reason, you can’t even recall why you left him but at the same time you know he’s ‘ex’ for a reason. At this point, that rule no longer apply. Your ex-boyfriend enter the room that was just occupied by you and your thoughts. He stood there with a concerned look on his face. You look up at him and smile. He walks over to you and grabs your hand. “Come on, it’s time for bed”. You let him guide you to bed and of course, it wasn’t really time for bed. He just wanted to make love to you again. Love; and bliss was in the air. It was so thick, you could cut it with a knife. He whispers in your ear, “You’re my everything, I’m sorry and I promise I’ll make it up to you. I love you”. With that, you fall asleep.

The next morning, you wake up to the sounds of soft melodies on your favorite soul & R&B radio station. You sit up on the side of bed, stretch and prepare to break a heart. You contemplate over and over if this was the right thing to do while you’re in the shower. You finally set in your mind that it is after you’ve dried off and prepared to lotion up and get dressed.

You head back to the bedroom to kiss your sleeping lover a temporary goodbye. “I guess 8:30 in the morning is the only slot opened on his calendar today“, you mumble to yourself as you’re leaving the house. You’re walking to the park up the street; the same place where you met your boyfriend. You look around and don’t see him yet so you look down at your watch. “It’s still early, I guess I can either go back home or wait for him here.” You decide on the latter and found a bench to sit on. You look around and notice the park is pretty empty. There’s only an old woman sitting on a bench on the far side of the park knitting and a guy that looks like he’s in his late 20′s early 30′s playing fetch with his golden retriever. “I should have brought a book with me, time seems to be crawling by“. You grow anxious and impatient sitting there. By now you’re convinced to just stand him up and wait til he call later that day and tell him that way; or not tell him at all.

You get up and turn to leave the park because it’s 8:40 and you’re sick of waiting all to hear his voice calling you from the other side of the park. The old woman on the bench looks up at him with a take-your-ass-over-to-her-instead-of-screaming-and-waking-the-neighborhood-up, look. You walk to him and he gives you a hug but you barely hug him back. You smell his cologne and almost wanted to keep from breaking his heart. “It has to be done“. You sike yourself up in your mind to tell him. He suggest you go to a more secluded part of the park so you and him could talk. You find a nice quiet place next to the pond with a bench. You sit down and he follows. He’s grinning from ear to ear; so happy to see you. You can barely look at him, you really want him to stop smiling because soon enough he will.

Before he could get a word out this time you speak up. “Listen, I got something to tell you. I know this is going to hurt you but I really don’t care.” The smile on your boyfriends face immediate disappears. He sits and wait for the bad news. You inhale loudly.  While you’re exhaling you nonchalantly say, “I’m pregnant, it’s not yours of-course, it’s my exes.” You look at him with no emotions expressed on your face. He look up at you and you could swear if pain was in living human form, he depicted it flawlessly. He stood up and you followed. He walks to the pond and skips a few rocks across  it; you watch him. He walk back over to you and sighs, while rubbing his temples. “So, you cheated on me and you’re pregnant. Couldn’t you have told this to me on the phone?” You shrug your shoulders like some kid who just got caught stealing from a candy store knowing you had money to buy what you stole. You look down at your shoes thinking it’s time for a new pair. “I figured it would be better this way, you know?” He shook his head, reached in his pocket and threw a little box at you and walked away.

You pick up the little box, opens it to see an engagement ring inside. Tears well up in your eyes; now you feel guilty.

What happened?

A man SHOULD NOT know how to belly dance

Well at least not this damn good:

You cannot call yourself a thug – a man for that matter if you can belly dance like that. I can picture him in a gay bar than on his neighborhood corner roughing up someone who was late on pay. Call me a ‘hater’, I’ll be that.

Calling ‘Mook’ out huh? Something tells me this “Mook” person isn’t a girl…

All this guy have on his Youtube page is videos of him belly dancing. I mean I’m not convinced that he’s doing it to get the ladies.  I seriously think he’s so deep in the closet, he’s having adventures in Narnia.

25 Things Women Wish They Could Tell Men

Posted: August 20, 2010 by Lee in Love & Relationships
Tags: , , , ,
6

1. Every woman could use one compliment a day.

2. We’d rather you didn’t say, “I’ll call you” if you really mean “goodbye.” Just don’t say anything — we won’t think you’re a jerk as we part ways for the night. And you know the saying that goes, “It’s better to under-promise and over-deliver”? How about, just don’t promise anything and don’t deliver anything.

3. Most of us are not crazy or psycho. We can be emotional and hormonal.

4. If we catch you glancing at our chest when you’re a foot away, we’ll think you’re rude and have no willpower. You can look, but from a distance.

5. Even the most confident among us can act needy and insecure at times. It happens when you start pulling away and we’re not aware that that’s what you’re doing, only that you’re acting funny. But oh, you should see how cool and independent most of us are when we’re not dating someone.

6. Feminine hygiene commercials are silly, but don’t complain about having to watch them. Try having to use them — for several days each month, I mean — for most of your life. When you complain, it makes you look insensitive. And weak. We have no sympathy.

7. Please don’t yell when you think we’re driving poorly, especially if we’re from the west coast and we’ve never seen a rotary before. Just give us advice, help, or moral support. (P.S. If you stomp your foot on the ground because you think we should brake, well, it’s just funny. We will brake if/when we need to.)

8. If you text, “Hows ur week goin?” we can either reply “good” and risk sounding curt (see #16) or we can send you a 400-word document. Don’t put us in this position. Just don’t text open-ended questions.

9. Texting a girl twice a week does not count as staying in contact. It’s meaningless and a waste of everyone’s time. Let her go.

10. Booty texts: weak.

11. If you’re a mama’s boy and you’re looking for a wife, think about it: what woman wants to be #2? Consider setting boundaries and work on establishing some independence. You and your mom can have a loving relationship without being co-dependent.

12. After you do something bad, it would be so much better if you called us right away to apologize. You think it’s best to wait a few days while we cool off, but what’s cooling off is our feelings for you. Man up. The sooner the better.

13. The reason we’re up in your grill about what time you’re coming over, and the reason we’re so good at communicating our own whereabouts, is that since the beginning of time our parents were making us report back to them about where we were and when we’d be home.

14. High heels really hurt.

15. Teasing won’t bait us. Attempting to wear us down is annoying.

16. 5-word emails seem cranky. Efficient, yes. Loving, no. Greet. Ask questions. Elaborate where possible.

17. If we say we’re babysitting for a friend, we did not say we want to have a baby now and that we want you to be the dad. “I’m babysitting” simply means, “I’m busy being a good friend.” You are paranoid and it’s embarrassing.

18. Stop talking about marrying us until you actually give one of us a ring.

19. Please be aware of how serious and in love you sound. Just say, “I like you,” not, “Let’s fly to Miami next month.” (I thought guys were supposed to be direct.) Sure, it sounds cooler (and less vulnerable) to talk a big game about Miami, but come next month, you won’t remember saying anything about Miami.

20. If a girl has pretty eyes, she has probably heard men tell her that five thousand times. It’s fine to repeat the compliment, but you’ll make a much bigger impression if you find something else to compliment.

21. As far as having children goes, you have the luxury of time. Appreciate it.

22. Taking us for granted is probably the worst thing you could do after cheating and lying. Since women are very good at appreciating each other, your behavior looks kinda selfish to us.

23. The word is “cherish.” Do you cherish her?

24. Not all of us enjoy sitting around watching soap operas all day with a container of Rocky Road ice cream. Some of us enjoy video games – like me; as much as guys.

25. Open up to us. We may be emotional 40% of the time but we’re – well some of us are really good listeners. If you can’t vent to us, then why are we together? We’re best friends first – then lovers.

Kanye West & the Illuminati

Power

The naive and religiously blinded believes every Tom, Dick, and Harry are apart of the Illuminati. Those who believe this have no clue to what the Illuminati means or what it is. They figure because they’re religious and the Illuminati is supposedly people who worship the devil, they think they can go around thinking their shit don’t stink.

People watched Kanye West‘s recent video ‘Power’ and just ran away with it.  Immediately figured his video was some form of conspiracy. No telling if it’s true or not but does it really matter? If you’re of religious faith, shouldn’t you just worry about your own ass?

Power

The video is “satanic” it’s filled with “hidden messages“. How do some of you sleep at night? Really I’m serious, from how this one character broke the video down to the last second [the actual song is much longer than the video by the way] I’m starting to wonder:

0:04 Illuminated eyes, hence Illuminati.

0:15 Head of Horus sun god against god/Antichrist.

0:24 Satanic horns.

0:26 No one man should rule, [God should not rule].

0:30 Clocks ticking counting down to 2012.

0:39 System broken school closed prison open=nuclear war/FEMA camps.

0:52 White man world=angel world, demons ruling it.

1:16 Man says “hail Satan“.

1:27 Swords combine to make masonic compass and pyramid with an all seeing eye which is on the dollar bill. Which is the Illumination’s sign.

Instead of paying attention to video or ‘moving painting’ as some put it, you should listen to the lyrics of the whole song which is 4:57 long.

I’m livin’ in the 21st century
Doin’ something mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the ’80s, got a nice ring to it
I guess every superhero need his own theme music

No one man should have all that power
The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours
Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power

The system broken, the schools closed, the prisons open
We ain’t got nothin’ to lose, ma’f-cka, we rollin’
Huh? Ma’f-cka, we rollin’
With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands
In this white man world, we the ones chosen
So goodnight, cruel world, I see ya’ in the mornin’
Huh? I see you in the mornin’
This is way too much, I need a moment

No one man should have all that power
The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours
Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power
‘Til then, f-ck that, the world’s ours

And then they (Go)
And then they
And then they (Go)
And then they

f-ck SNL and the whole cast
Tell ‘em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole a-s
More specifically, they can kiss my a-shole
I’m an a-shole? You niggas got jokes
You short-minded niggas’ thoughts is Napoleon
My furs is Mongolian, my ice brought the goalies in
Now I embody every characteristic of the egotistic
He know, he so, f-ckin’ gifted
I just needed time alone, with my own thoughts
Got treasures in my mind, but couldn’t open up my own vault
My childlike creativity, purity and honesty
Is honestly being prodded by these grown thoughts
Reality is catchin’ up with me
Takin’ my inner child, I’m fighting for it, custody
With these responsibilities that they entrusted me
As I look down at my dia-mond-encrusted piece

Nigga, no one man should have all that power
The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours
Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power
‘Til then, f-ck that, the world’s ours

Holy, powers, Austin, Powers
Lost in translation with a whole f-ckin’ nation
They say I was the abomination of Obama’s nation
Well, that’s a pretty bad way to start the conversation
At the end of day, goddammit, I’m killin’ this sh-t
I know damn well y’all feelin’ this sh-t
I don’t need yo’ p-ssy, b-tch, I’m on my own d-ck
I ain’t gotta power trip, who you goin’ home with?
How ‘Ye doin’? I’m survivin’
I was drinkin’ earlier, now I’m drivin’
Where the bad b-tches, huh? Where ya hidin’?
I got the power, make yo’ life so excitin’ (So excitin’)

Now this would be a beautiful death
Jumpin’ out the window
Lettin’ everything go
Lettin’ everything go

Now this would be a beautiful death
Jumpin’ out the window
Lettin’ everything go
Lettin’ everything go

Now this would be a beautiful death
Jumpin’ out the window
Lettin’ everything go
Lettin’ everything go

Now this would be a beautiful death
Jumpin’ out the window
Lettin’ everything go
Lettin’ everything go

You got the power to let power go

Is Kanye West being a ‘devil worshiper’ paying your bills, putting food on the table, clothes on your back; a roof over your head? Right, thought so. If the Illuminati were truly in fruition, do you really think the would let an ego-maniac that is Kanye West any where near it? I think it’s safe to say that it was better off when people translated his video assuming he was some sort of king surrounded by half-naked white women.

Then again, religion and idiots never mixed. “So goodnight cruel world, I’ll see ya’ in the mornin’”.

Questions Theists Should Ponder

Posted: August 12, 2010 by Lee in Atheism

8

I'm sure most of you who read this will probably pick and choose questions to answer and be so far off it'll be quite hilarious.

If you’re going to TRY and answer these questions. Don’t based them on what you think is true. Have some factual evidence behind them. Hypothesis’s is okay but it only shows me that you don’t have any REAL proof.
Sorry but everyone who has tried answering these questions have turned out to be a REAL dumb ass. Continue to try though. It’s quite hilarious as I CORRECTLY assumed.

  1. Why Can’t Prayers really heal people, like the blind or someone with AIDS?
  2. Instead of praying and not getting answers, why aren’t you getting up and doing something about the homeless and the unfortunate? Do you really feel accomplished because you prayed?
  3. How can you be a Christian and judgmental at the same time?
  4. How do you justify God punishing Adam and Eve for something they did before having any knowledge about good and evil?
  5. What will happen in the Afterlife to the people who never heard about your religion? Or ANY religion for that matter. What about the blind, death and dumb? Should they be damned to hell because YOUR God made them immune to religion based on their disabilities?
  6. What if the god you believe in isn’t the real God? How do you know it’s not some animal or tree?
  7. What makes your “evidence” so compelling?
  8. Why do you hate Atheism so much?
  9. Why does the Bible order you to kill so many people? And why does it support things like slavery?
  10. Why is the Bible inconsistent?
  11. How do you decide what parts of the Bible to take literally?
  12. Why does God not make any appearances, now that we have the technology to record and measure it?
  13. Why do you think your God is paying attention to you?
  14. If knowing God and Jesus is so important then why would god leave it up to man to take care of it for him?
  15. Why are you so hell-bent on asking Atheists, “How did you get here”?
  16. Can you prove to me that God exists in a way that will also show that Zeus does not?
  17. If Gen 3:24 is true, why hasn’t anyone found the Cherubim and the ” flaming sword which turned every way”?
  18. It’s been proven that modern humans originated from Africa. Yet, the Adam and Eve story claims the first Humans lived in a garden in Eden, near 4 rivers. ( Most of which no one can find). One of these rivers mentioned is the Euphrates, which runs through Iraq, Syria and a portion of Turkey. What’s the truth? Did man come out of Africa or near the Euphrates River?
  19. How can a God have emotions, i.e. jealousy, anger, sadness, love, etc., if he is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent?
  20. “God is all merciful,” we hear quite often. Wouldn’t it be more merciful of God to simply snap sinners out of existence rather than send them to hell?
  21. Why haven’t we seen God reattach severed heads, restore someone who was burned alive or regrow amputated limbs?
  22. Why does God entrust the spreading of ‘His’ word to sinners? Why doesn’t he do it himself?
  23. If God is calling these people “home”, why are we putting the murderers of these victims in prison? How can we punish a man or woman for doing God’s will?
  24. Why can’t we wait until we get to Heaven to worship God ? Why would it be too late?
  25. What is the purpose of prayer? What can a finite being on Earth possibly tell an omnipotent, omniscient deity that he doesn’t know already?
  26. Revelations is supposed to take place on Earth. What if we colonize the moon or Mars or inhabit a self-sustaining space station? Do we escape “judgment”?
  27. If the earth was covered by a complete global flood, every living creature killed except those surviving on the ark, why are there many completely unique animal species in Australia that are found no where else indigenously on the earth?
  28. In the “Last Days” Jesus is supposed to appear in the clouds. How are the Christians on the opposite end of the world going to see him? Are there going to be millions of Jesus’? What about people that work underground? What about people in deep space?
  29. The highest rainfall ever recorded in a 24 hour period was 47inches in the Reunion Islands in 1947 (during a severe tropical storm). To cover the whole earth to a depth of 5.6 miles, and cover the mountain tops (i.e. Mount Everest), it would need to rain at a rate of 372 (three hundred and seventy two) inches per hour, over the entire surface of the earth. Can rain fall at such an astronomical rate? Where did all the water come from?? Where did it all go to??? And would not the dynamics of the earth be so out of balance (tides etc.) that the earth would become so unstable that it would wobble off into outer space?
  30. If Noah’s flood supposedly covered the earth for a year, regardless of whether or not all the animals could fit on the ark, what the heck happened to all the plants? Can you imagine a cactus surviving under 4 miles of water for a year?
  31. Christians say that God is NOT the author of confusion. Can you say, Tower of Babel?
  32. After 9/11 a lot of people have been tossing around ” god bless America”. Why do they keep saying this? From the looks of it god hasn’t blessed anything. If god had blessed America, the 9/11 event would’ve never happened.
  33. If the garden of Eden was a perfect paradise as Xians claim, then why did Eve even want to eat the fruit? Wouldn’t a perfect place provide everything a person would want or desire and thus she would want nothing?
  34. I have often heard that faith is all that is necessary to believe in God and accept the Bible as true. If this is true aren’t all supernatural beliefs true since they also require “faith”?
  35. Why didn’t God just kill Adam and Eve after the Fall and start from scratch? Actually, if God is all-knowing wouldn’t he know that man would need to be killed eventually anyway, (the biblical flood)? Why create Adam and Eve at all?
  36. Many Christians believe that God is a thinking being, that he solves problems and makes a way for them when troubles come. Does God Think? If God is thinking, did he know his thoughts before he thought them? If so, again, where is his freewill and how is God thinking at all if everything seems to be one uncontrollable action/thoughts?
  37. Genesis 1:28-29 shows that man and all the animals were first created herbivorous. Most young-earth Christians (ones that believes the earth is less than 10,000 years old) say that the fall of man resulted in carnivorous animals (hence death of animals). So, why did God punish the animal kingdom, making animals kill and devour each other because of man’s mistake? Or, if you’re an old-earth Christian (one that accepts that animals existed on earth for billions of years before man came on the scene) then how come fossils show carnivorous animals existed before man?
  38. I have often heard from many believers that even Satan has a presence in the church, which is why even in church people can still have impure thoughts. If Satan can find his way in the church, how do Christians know that Satan didn’t find his way into the Bible and twist the whole book?
  39. Does God know his own future decisions? If God is all-knowing he actually shouldn’t have any decisions to make at all. Nor can he choose anything over something else. For that would mean that he is neither omniscient nor omnipotent?
  40. If God is all-knowing, how could he be disappointed in his creations?
  41. If a spirit is non-physical but the human body is physical, how does a spirit stay in our bodies?
  42. God struck down the Tower of Babel angry at the intent of the people that built them, if this is the case, many of the great pyramids ( which are bigger than any ziggurat) around the world should be rubble also, yet many still stand today. Were not the Egyptians and many other ancient pyramid builders reaching toward God /The Heavens?
  43. Why did God flood the earth to remove evil?
  44. Why would an all-powerful god become flesh in order to sacrifice himself to himself so that his creation might escape the wrath of himself. Couldn’t god, in his infinite wisdom, come up with something a little more efficient?
  45. The Bible says that God is a jealous God . How is this an example of a moral absolute of which man is supposed to follow?
  46. If god is omniscient and ” god is love,” why would he allow a child to be conceived, knowing that that child would one day reject him and spend eternity burning in a lake of fire?
  47. What is the purpose of prayer? What can a finite being on Earth possibly tell an omnipotent, omniscient deity that he doesn’t know already?
  48. Some say Jesus was the all-knowing God. Jesus would have known then that when he died he’d be in heaven in less than 3 days to rule. If Jesus is alive and ruling today, what did he sacrifice?
  49. God knows that men are sinners, untrustworthy and evil, why does God leave it up to fallible man (clergy..etc) to teach others about his word? Why would he put our eternal souls at risk if he loves us so much?
  50. If God has such a tremendous problem with uncircumcised penises, why did he make man with foreskin in the first place?
  51. Did Noah have fish on-board? Salt or Fresh? Since fresh water fish would die in salt, and salt water fish would die in fresh, only one type of fish would survive. Yet….?
  52. Why does the omnipotent, omnipresent God need help from man or angels to spread his word or do acts?
  53. How did Jesus ascend to Heaven in the Flesh when Paul says that flesh cannot inherit the kingdom of Heaven?
  54. If God wants us to live right and choose “the good,” why did he create evil?
  55. I hear Christians all the time speaking of a spiritual war between Heaven and Hell, if this is true does God have limitations of power?
  56. The Bible is full of phrases beginning with, “and the lord saw”. Didn’t he know before hand?
  57. How can a psychologist condone belief in something not proven to exist, when people are put into mental institutions on a daily basis for the same thing? i.e. aliens, fairies, imaginary people (Multiple Personality Disorders..)?
  58. If Christians say they know God exists and that he will work miracles, what do they need faith for?
  59. Brain, or shall I say, body transplants, will eventually be possible, where would the soul be then? Where is the soul?
  60. If God really wants us to know him, why doesn’t he place the knowledge of him in our minds at birth?
  61. If God was Jesus’ father (not Joseph), then why is Jesus’ family tree traced through Joseph?
  62. What image of God was man made from? Couldn’t have been a moral one or physical one.
  63. Why can’t God appear before everyone at the same time? Everyone in the world would then “know” he exists and not have solely “believe”?
  64. According to the New Testament Matthew 5:17 says “Do not suppose that I have come to abolish the Law and the prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to complete. I tell you this: so long as heaven and earth endure, not a letter, not a stroke, will disappear from the Law until all that must happen has Happened.” So since Jesus has not returned the “Law” is still in effect, so why aren’t we still burning witches, stoning adulterers and disobedient children, killing homosexuals, ostracizing people that work on the Sabbath (nurses, doctors etc.), flinging blood onto the horns of the alter, pulling off the heads of small birds, and don’t forget human sacrifice to God (Leviticus 27 P.28 )?
  65. If there is freewill in Heaven yet everyone has chosen good and is happy, isn’t that proof that God could have made us with freewill, choosing good ( God ) and still being happy on Earth?
  66. Why does God have a plan? Man is limited in power so we make plans because we are not all-knowing nor all-powerful. If God has a plan, isn’t he reduced to a mere finite being?
  67. How could the all-merciful/loving God watch billions of his children burn over and over again for eternity?
  68. Before reading and writing were invented (5000BC), on what basis did God use to judge the people who died before the Hebrew and Greek text (BIBLE) were written?
  69. Many Christians tell me that I will “burn in hell”. If I have a soul, how can a soul burn? Aren’t souls non-physical entities?
  70. How can one hold to the barbaric belief that something has to DIE in order to appease a god for a bad deed?
  71. Why does SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) occur? Why would God allow a baby to live for such a short period of time? Why not just let them not be born in the first place?
  72. If Jesus was nailed and died on Friday evening, and walked out of the tomb on Sunday morning, where’s the 3rd NIGHT he predicted?
  73. Many Christians claim that hell is merely existence outside of God? presence. If this is the case, then Jesus could not have descended into hell (being God Himself). As a result, are you sure your sins are forgiven?
  74. Ten to twenty percent of all women who discover they are pregnant suffer a miscarriage. Also, it is estimated that anywhere from 14 to 50 percent of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. Seeing this is all part of God ‘s plan, does this make God the world’s number one abortion provider?
  75. What if, when you get to Heaven, you saw God causing pain and suffering out of anger or for the purpose of entertaining himself. What if he required people in heaven to praise and worship him non-stop even to the point of causing his worshipers discomfort, pain and boredom. What if, when he was bored, angry, or jealous, he would create natural disasters to make himself feel better. Would you still follow him?
  76. In Leviticus, the bible condemns homosexuality as an “abomination”, giving some Christians a reason to hate, harass, torture and kill gays and even picket their funerals with ” God hates fags” signs. In the same book of the bible the eating of shellfish is equally an “abomination”. Are these Christians planning to go after the patrons of Red Lobster next?
  77. Christians will tell you that if a baby dies it goes to heaven. Why then are they so against abortion? All the child is being deprived of is the opportunity to go to hell. Either that or god expects unborn fetuses to accept Jesus.
  78. If one could prove to you incontrovertibly that Jesus and God were all human fabrications would you still believe?
  79. It is often said that God allows evil because one could not meaningfully appreciate good without experiencing its opposite. Why is it necessary to experience the opposite of something in order to appreciate it? Must I experience death in order to meaningfully appreciate life?
  80. Bible literals want you to believe that God’s Word in the Bible is meant to be taken literally. If this is the case, why was Jesus fond of explaining things in parable and metaphor? Was Jesus literally discussing the biology of mustard seeds, or was the mustard seed parable meant to be interpreted figuratively as faith?
  81. Liberal Christians say some parts of the Bible are literally true, but much else is to be interpreted figuratively as allegory. How do you know which is which? What distinguishing criteria are used? How can you be certain “God” is a literal and not a figurative concept?
  82. Consciousness is the result of a physical brain, how could God being metaphysical be said to be conscious or sentient without having a brain?
  83. Considering how Leviticus is considered old law, and that Christians do not obey it anymore, why do they always use it to defend homosexuality being an “abomination”?
  84. Why did this alleged god create humans as an animal form of life that gets sick and die and experience pain and has a limited mind when ‘it’ could have created humans as a form of pure energy or of some indestructible material, and was totally sinless; and had pure thought? If  god was omnipotent ‘it’ could have easily have done this.
  85. If a god is omnipotent how did ‘it’ fail to foresee that Satan would turn against ‘it’?
  86. If God is omnipotent and he has a plan, then why did he not create the universe as it will be one second after the plan has succeeded? Who or what prevented him from doing that?
  87. What is a god supposedly made of?
  88. Exactly how did the alleged worldwide flood kill off all the world’s sea creatures? How does one go about drowning a fish?
  89. The large majority of people who have ever existed could not have learned of the Bible or Jesus Christ. And many people after-wards have found other religions or no religion at all to be more convincing, sometimes while being very virtuous. Do all these people really deserve eternal torment because of that?
  90. Is it reasonable for the Creator and Ruler of such a vast Universe to be preoccupied with the sexuality of a species living on a tiny little planet?
  91. If the Christian god was all loving and all knowing why did he let religious figures such as Mohammed or Gautama Budda be born, knowing that they would mislead people from the ‘true’ faith and trick the majority of the world’s population into burning forever in hell?
  92. If one is obliged to follow all the teachings of the bible then why is engaging in homosexuality or adultery any worse than “suffering a witch to live”, “muzzling the ox that treadth the corn”, “reaping the corners of thy field”, “marring the corners of they beard”, “plowing with an oxen and an ass”, “hating thy brother in thy heart” or “eating frogs, shellfish and eels” ?

5 Tips on How to Spot an Atheist

Posted: August 7, 2010 by Lee in Atheism
Tags: , , , ,

Since Atheist’s can’t seem to read all of the article, I’ll just stick it in big bold print here:

If you’re an Atheist, do not I repeat DO NOT take this seriously. I know it’s hard to notice sarcasm through a font but let me reassure you, it’s SARCASM! We know we aren’t like anything mentioned in the article below. This is simply mocking what Christians and the like THINK we are. Use your brains!

1.

Usually Atheists are pale of skin. They spend many times indoors, because they are afraid to come outside. They believe the preposterous lie that Christians are trying to kill them, when in fact, all that we really want to do is force a quick conversion or to please place them in a maximum security prison for their own protection from devout Christians who may try to kill them. Many Atheists will try to throw you off by spending time absorbing carcinogens in tanning beds, so it important to remember in hunting Atheists that many, if not most, have very dark skin, too. CAUTION: Do not confuse these artificially dark folks with genuine Negroes. Real Coloreds need to be watched carefully around anything of value, but do not need to be brought to the Lord, as they all blindly accepted JesusGod during Biblically sanctioned slavery. as their loving. [Racism is everywhere y'all! Hide ya' kids' hide ya' husbands because they rapin' everybody out hea!]

2.

Atheists are overweight. The stereotypes of typical Atheists are the trim, granola cruncher who jogs and plays racquetball or the vain hedonist, party-goer who worships only her full-length mirror, Recent studies have shown, however, that Atheists have become aware of these signifiers of their lack of faith. In order to blend in undetected with evangelical Christians, most Atheists now tend to be morbidly obese and will tell you, whether asked or not, that their enormous girth is the result of an undetectable thyroid condition and not the box of Little Debbie cakes they are holding.

3.

Atheists have too many university diplomas! These folks are chock full of secular knowledge. They toss the Bible aside in favor of so-called, “research” and “theories.” They spend their days studying and trying to gather facts and results to support their ridiculous scientific theories, such as evolution and gravity. Don’t let it fool you, Christian Brothers and Sisters! All the secular knowledge in the world can’t disprove that the reason we are all here today was because Eve got some bad advice from a talking snake! Atheists are too full of their silly “logic” to understand that only blind faith leads to sighted Truth. Why, the homo-lovers in England have already accepted that most scientists are naturally Atheists. Don’t let it happen in America! Report your Biology professor – or any so-called teacher who pollutes the soul with extraneous (non-Biblical) information — to the local authorities before he recruits your child!

4.

Atheists Deceive! Atheists go under many names, but they don’t have the common sense to align themselves yet! Use this to your advantage in reporting them to the police! They call themselves, “humanists, agnostics, secular-humanists, moral relativist individuals, Catholics, free-thinkers, undecided, Unitarians, and more recently, Bright’s.” It is important to note that anyone who has a post-graduate degree or is interested in getting a post-graduate degree, is suspect! Also be warned, Wiccans , Vegans, Yogists, and readers of science fiction are either Atheists or on the road to becoming an Atheist.

5.

Atheists are afraid! Even though there are as many as 300 active Atheists in the United States, we can safely assume that if recent polls are correct, most Atheists are afraid to come out and say what they don’t believe. It’s your job to pull it out of them. Put them on the spot. Hound them at restaurants and on cruise ships. Don’t take “I’d rather not talk about religion” as an answer. Give them one last chance to save their sorry souls. Then, call the police!

7 reasons Why Religion is a Form of Mental Illness

Posted: August 7, 2010 by Lee in Atheism

1

Hallucinations – the person has invisible friends who (s)he insists are real, and to whom (s)he speaks daily, even though nobody can actually see or hear
these friends.

2

Delusions – the patient believes that the invisible friends have magical powers to make them rich, cure cancer, bring about world peace, and will do so eventually if asked.

3

Denial/Inability to learn – though the requests for world peace remain unanswered, even after hundreds of years, the patients persist with the praying behavior, each time expecting different results.

4

Inability to distinguish fantasy from reality – the beliefs are contingent upon ancient mythology being accepted as historical fact.

5

Paranoia – the belief that anyone who does not share their supernatural concept of reality is “evil,” “the devil,” “an agent of Satan“.

6

Emotional abuse – religious concepts such as sin, hell, cause feelings of guilt, shame, fear, and other types of emotional “baggage” which can scar the psyche for life.

7

Violence – many patients insist that others should share in their delusions, even to the extent of using violence.

Religion still seems to be the one kind of crazy that is commended, applauded, and not treated.

Ever Tried Thanking Yourself Instead of Your God?

Give yourself some damn credit for once. You’re giving this mythical being all the praise and glory and neglect your competence. Let’s thank ‘God‘ shall we? I don’t hear anyone thanking their God for this recession. If you’re going to thank you God for everything, don’t be half-assed thanking it. Thank your God for hurricanes and the tornadoes; the tsunami‘s and volcano eruptions. Don’t give me that ‘God didn’t make hurricanes, tornadoes etc’ then in the same keystrokes  say ‘God make these things happen for a reason’.

You thank your God for waking you up in the morning, for wiping your ass, for getting a job. You mind as well sit back and let ‘God’ run your life…oh wait…never mind. There’s a thin line between being grateful and being an idiot.

Prayer – doing nothing, but thinking you are helping.

Prayer

If you did not pray would that mean your wish [help a sick loved one for example] would absolutely not come true? Is your prayer preventing their untimely demise? If everything happens as it should then why pray for healing? If everything happens as it should then why give thanks for the food on your table/your health/good fortune/etc? If God REALLY did help get that food on the table then why didn’t He for people who are hungry and prayed? Why does it select who it will help. Or if it is allowing ‘free will‘ and not technically ‘helping’ anyone then why give thanks at all?

Example: Family member is sick and undergoing scary tests. Everyone prays for their restored health. Family member’s results come back good. Everyone rejoices and then thank their God is to why their prayers seem to have been answered. If the family members did not pray, would the test results have been different?

Or what if even with the prayers the tests came back poor-does that mean:

  1. God chose not to answer your prayer because it wants to teach you a lesson.
  2. Everything is predestined and prayers don’t make a difference.
  3. God doesn’t like you.

In layman’s terms, your god is a DICK.

Strange Children & Laps

I was on my way home today; I was riding the ‘HealthLine‘ by the way. There were a lot of people in the bus stop; more than normal. A lot of the travelers were women and had children and strollers. This one particular child was in a stroller sitting in front of her mother. I decided to sit down next to the mother and child; something I prefer not to do but I was really sick and not feeling good earlier and I really haven’t recovered much. Anyway, as I was sitting there the little boy just looked at me and stared, I smiled and then looked away. Then suddenly, the child start crying and he began reaching out for me. It was odd but not too odd, usually this is what happens when I’m around children. As odd as that sound, mind you I don’t really like children and I pretty much try to ignore them.

The boy started reaching for me; grabbing my knee that was within reach. The mother started laughing at her son because she knew what he wanted. She turned to me and said “he wants to sit on your lap”. I looked at her and just shook my head and said “I’m glad I’m not the only one your child does that to, usually I have kids wanting to climb on me all of the time like I’m some tree.” then looked away. Mind you, the kid was and I do mean WAS strapped in his stroller, the mother decided to take her son out of the stroller and hand him to me. My immediate thought was “I could be some damn lunatic and you’re going to just hand me your child so he can shut up?”, but I digress.

I took the child and sat him on my lap and continue to ignore him. He stopped screaming and everyone else who witnessed the fiasco thought it was cute, adorable, and funny. I found it to be stressful, annoying, and sweltering. I had on a long sleeved BLACK  shirt, it was almost 90 degrees today, the bus stop was filled with people, I wasn’t feeling too good, and I have a spoiled child, sitting on my lap grinning. I just wanted it to be over with.
