I’m from a relatively small town in Mississippi, so you can imagine when election time comes there is a lot of “goings on”. I live about 2 miles outside of town so we are assigned a supervisor that is supposed to speak for their district. Every year they come to the house give me a card and tell me they would appreciate my vote. My question is who the hell are you? If you want my vote it takes more than just telling me you would appreciate it. I want to know what you are going to do to improve upon the position you are running for. Same for elections statewide. I don’t want to vote for someone based on what their commercials say. How come there aren’t more debates. Now days it seems everyone has to agree on where and when the debate will be and who should and should not be allowed to speak. First off, if you are on the ballot you are in the debate. Secondly it should be mandatory not elective. State debates for major positions should be run on tv. Why not PBS. Seems like a good of a place as any. Don’t tell me the regular networks couldn’t make a few bucks on something like that too. Local elections should have town hall debates. Both should include questions from the state’s voters. If you think you can decide who is the best candidate by watching their commercials or reading their signs i feel sorry for you. You need to care more than that. And to the candidates: Tell me what you are going to do if i vote for you. Don’t just ask for my vote just cause you come to my house.
The atheists sure have come out of the wood work on youtube. Dare speak of religion and a mass of characters come down on you like a biblical plague of locusts (ha). I view their pretentious videos with a sense of amusement. The very things they are against apply to themselves yet they slide right on past that. Being an atheist is still a belief in something no more or less than religion. You are choosing to not believe the world was created by a God or Gods. News flash. That is still a belief in something. Many atheists take on an arrogant “i’m smarter than you” attitude towards people of faith. I’ll use the Christian faith as my example. Many atheists go on and on about how Christians think they are better than they are and how their way is the only way. Is that not exactly what atheists do? They say how stupid or weak willed Christians are and how they are just wasting their time believing in something that does not exist. Now I would like to know how is the atheist that says that any different than the Christian philosophy that they think they understand. Most atheists must have a little guide to being an atheist handbook, as they bring forth the same questions. In my many many debates I’m able to answer each question they pose. It’s never the same on the other hand. There is always a point in my questions to them that they are unable to answer. My favorite by far is I don’t know how the world came to be and I don’t care just as long as GOD didn’t do it. For a group of people that so love to use science to back up their theories on life, that seems very unscientific to me. One of the most fundamental rules of science is cause and effect. There can not be an effect without a cause. If that is a fact then explain how the universe was formed. Nothing can not become something. So how are we here. I hear some of you yelling Big Bang. Ok what caused that. Then what caused what to cause that. Eventually you get to a point of nothingness. If there is no GOD then tell me how nothing became something. I would love to hear it. No matter what you believe or do not believe you don’t have to be a jerk about it. I voice my opinion on religion when asked or provoked. I do not post videos on how stupid someone is because they have faith in something or in nothing at all. You are not better or worse than anyone else because of your beliefs. I believe each person should have the opportunity to research it for themselves. I do not believe in having an organized school prayer. I do believe that a person has the right to pray while in school whether they are a student or employee. Taking religion out of history is stupid and dangerous. I don’t believe the bible should be taught in public school. That is what the church is for. But i do believe you have to teach religion as part of history. This includes all major religions. In the future how do you explain the war with radical Muslims without explaining how their beliefs impacted the war. If history is as important as everyone seems to think it is then teach it like it happened. Not how you wished it did.
