Mute it, crazy!

Are you so certain that ignorance is bliss?

Guy walks into a bar.
Ouch.
Don't you think he'd rather have known about the bar than ignored it?

There's just something about that scenario which draws me to a more religious aspect; of course being a religion minor helps too. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I ended up having a religion debate with my grandfather; trying to subdue his rath (since my birthday IS coming up) I decided to do as he wished, and come up with questions that I wanted answered by a pastor.
I gave the list to my grandfather and he gave it to the pastor at the "church I once affiliated myself with".

Feedback: Don't expect those with faith to understand reason. The two just don't mesh.

Several days ago my mother shows up at my door and gives me yet another, "I'm trying to save your soul" gift. This time it was a book about questions that skeptics ask and the answers to those questions. Unfortunately the book beats around the bush at answering questions typical of atheists/non-believers, and instead uses un-rational ways to prove God's existance. Such as:

Everything has to have a beginning. Therefore, everything also has to have a creator to have made it. God is the beginning of all things, therefore the universe must exist because of him.
***Um, if everything has a beginning than what created God? If God exists then he must have come from something/somewhere--right. Oh the tragedy of being ignorant.

Anway, not a funny blog, but what was on my mind.
What I learned today in Life, Love, and Politics:
Life: Archaeology is a LOT harder than what you might think.
Love: Tom Petty.
Politics: Jump on the Obama ship for a free college experience & better food rations.
Jump on the McCain ship for a free nude thong & white president.
