These people get me that say, "I believe that there is a higher force, but there isn't any evidence for it. I wish those zealots would find some proof fast so I could decide!"
Decide for yourself, boys and girls. Dig deep into what you KNOW and not what you think you know.

Tonight I'd like to talk about sanity.
Let's first get our definition of sanity and insanity. By definition, people who hear voices in their head are insane, so anybody who has heard the voice of God is, technically, insane. How can people so logical about everything else (politics, finances, &c.) have this imaginary friend stuck in the side of their minds, believing without question, without debate, always demanding respect, getting pissed off when someone questions it.
The words "sane christian" seem to set off a klaxon in my head, because that seems very contradictory to me.
A christian is a person who believes that all the world, all the universe, is 6,000 years old; already this is proven false by the fact that we can see star's light that should take more than 6,000 years to reach our point in space, the 6000 year rule seems to go against all cosmological and geological empirical evidence.
A christian is a person who believes that males were derivative of the dirt, and female was made from man's rib, all guided by God's pimp hand (he keeps his pimp hand strong, btw, pimpslapping all those [innocent] people from the first 5 books of the bible).
A christian is a person who believes that an omniscient omnipotent lives in his magical sky kingdom, watching everything that every 6.7 billion people every minute of every hour of every day do, and he decides if what you're doing is good or bad, if it is bad, he expects you to talk to him on your bedside everynight and plead for forgiveness.
A christian is a person who believes that the world is not perfect, in god's image, because a talking snake convinced a woman to eat a forbidden fruit from a magic tree; ridiculous.
A christian is a person who believes that an old ass book written long ago is truth. It has a boatloat of fairy tales in it that these people take as truth. Their theist mind is in ecstasy from this ludicrous, when their logical mind (if it exists anymore, after many years of accepting without question) should be sounding alarms constantly.

I just felt the need to type this, because of an event that happened today in school, of which the following parable recollects:
I was in Spanish, having an argument about evolution and creationism with a kid named Aaron. He swore that evolution was silly, Dawkins is a madman, Darwin was an idiot, and holds the whole, "God has always been here, scientists HAVEN'T, so I will believe God!".
Eventually I got fed up, and whipped my hardcopy of the Origin of Species out, and said, "This is Darwin's book. This is crammed with everything I've been talking about for the past ten minutes".
He answered by whipping out a bible, and saying, "This is GOD'S book, it's crammed full of the stuff I'VE been talking about the last ten minutes!", and then he proclaimed that all atheists will roast in Hell and that we're all crazy.
I guess I should go to bed before I start another rant.
