Frustration

Nov 4, 2007 Rant, Religion

This morning, at 2 A.M., the time changed.  It seems the news reports forgot to update their clocks, because it’s wrong at the bottom of the TV screen.

I’ve been discussing evolution and religion with a dude via email.  He’s not getting it.  He just keeps saying that religion is bad.  He thinks that just because I’m religious means that I subscribe to everything that the catholic church, television evangelists, and anybody that claims to be a preacher has to say.  No matter how many times I say this, he refuses to hear it.

It’s sad, but frankly, I’m sick of discussing it with him.  He’s so bent on changing what I believe, using the bible out of context to make me question it, and ridiculing me for not believing in evolution.  I just want to give up.

It’s not that I don’t care.  It’s that I just get tired of fighting against circular logic with no real scientific proof (other than what they have made up), telling me that no matter what I say I am wrong.

What is it with atheists?  I have never, NEVER, met an atheist with a REAL argument that doesn’t revert to asking question after question, pretending that they aren’t getting answers (even when they are), and eventually just tell us how foolish we are to not accept what they believe.

I haven’t said he was foolish at all.  I’ve been going out of my way for a long time fighting an argument that he initiated, all because of some posts I made on a political website.

Well, whatever.  I’m sick of it all.

I don’t mind answering questions about my faith and beliefs, but when I say I’m not affiliated with certain religious groups, quit throwing their rhetoric and lies at me in an effort to get me to feel stupid.  If I don’t believe in it, don’t assume that I do.

I need more coffee.  This low-octane stuff just isn’t cutting it this morning.

In other news, I broke our main computer.  Actually, Bill Gates broke it.  For some reason, it refused to reboot (or even give a display) after installing the Bonus Pack for Windows Media Player.  I had to throw together another machine, install XP pro on it, and configure everything.  Fun stuff.
