Let me post about something VERY VERY old school - religion.
Yesterday I had an interesting conversation with my family. You see, all of a sudden we started talking about Muslims and Indians. My dad really seems to have a grudge against them or something like that. You see he went to India for awhile and apparently he wasn't treated that well and he told me that they are intolerant. I don't see how this is so, because I see them as really nice people. This is when my mother told me that my sister and I were not the only people who went to school with Muslims and that they forget you as soon as school then. It was at this time that my father surprised me with a ummm... surprising statement.
He said that : You're blinded by your love for a Indian/Muslim girl. You love is nothing but childish games.
Now, at this time my eyes were wide open in astonishment and amazement. How did he know I was dating... a Muslim? How?
And I was about to ask (rather stupidly) How did you know?
But you see...he DOESN'T know. It was probably the wildest and most accurate use of irony and coincidence that I could ever mention. EVAR.
I mispelt that for a REASON. I'm still astonished at his rather amazing insight.
In response to his comment I simply said that he and my mother banished me from dating anyone so therefore I have no girlfriend.
Then he started on how Muslims can come where veils in other countries, but if my African sister where to wear one in Saudi Arabia, she'd be killed. Well, its hard to argue with that...but seriously its not fair to assume that they all wear veils or something...its simply not true. And then you have people assuming that all women HAVE to wear the veil. THIS IS NOT TRUE.

| Not all Muslims look like this. |
They are not violent criminals or terrorists.
They are just all nice people.
And I'd like to say that I'm happy that I'm dating one. VERY HAPPY.
Not to mention Christianity isn't any better really.

Which leads to me to what happened today. I had to be dragged to church again, and we all know church is boring as hell sometimes.

Now, I'm a Christian, but I'm also an evolutionist and I'm also skeptical...which is quite hypocritical in a sense.. You seem my father (who himself rarely goes to church and also expresses some disinterest religion occasionally) lectured me about questioning God and said that I shouldn't believe all those science books.
Now, I don't read Science books actually- so I don't know where he got that from.
Then he said that Science can't make rain and stop people from dying.
I didn't answer the question at the time because he asked me to stop talking back.
What I didn't say was:
Evaporate a lot of water and you'll get rain.
Medicine can stop people from dying. And that death is natural.
Later on my dad asked my sister and I a bunch of Science questions, there was the theory of relativity in there too.

| Mommy, look! If I add random letters I can be like Einstein! |
Then (jokingly) he asked how anyone could prove an atom can exist.
It was then that I muttered under my breath (as to avoid trouble) that how can you prove that God exists?
Suck it.
In all honesty I believe in God, but the Bibles is nearly 2000 years old...you can't tell me that someone didn't lose one of the pages somewhere along the line.

| Judas! What have thou done? NOOOOO!!!! |
It was also when on Friday I was asked by someone (who clearly hated evolution) how could I prove the existence of the universe.
Well technically, no one can (though I'd say The Bible is winning with this one).
I simply said 'Big Bang Theory.' That shut them up. Though honest to god I was referring to the comedy show. Sheldon is awesome.
Then another anti-evolutionist said some sick Bible verse to me, that involved me burning in hell.
And I must say, The Bible and The Quran have some pretty sick verses. They should be put it in rap.
