I'll pray for you!
Now, I hear this all of the time being said to my fellow atheists online and offline. How does this happen? Well,
Step 1. Tell a religious person that you are an atheist
Step 2. Refute any argument with your unlimited knowledge.
Step 3. Wait 5 seconds.
Step 4. The religious person will be out of arguments, so they will resort to saying "I'll pray for you.".
The fact that a religious person would even think that an atheist would care that they would "pray" for them is crazy. You're telling an atheist that you'll pray for them! If you tell an atheist like me that you'll pray for me, it has no effect because in actuality you are talking to yourself when praying for people. Why would an atheist want you to talk about him/her to yourself?
Hey religious people, if you really want to do something for me, how about you go to your local library or elementary school and pick up a science book. Read the section on biology. Then, after that, go home and research YOURSELF about the theory of evolution. Leave god, the pastor, and the bible out of it when you research. Have an open mind and read up as much about biology as you can. When you're done, get back to me and formulate a conclusion based on your research and make sure god, the pastor, and the bible is not involved.
Of course, a religious person wouldn't do that for me, now would they. Why would they spend a few hours reading about science for someone who is going to hell? *sigh*

Expelled: No intelligence allowed
I didn't even have to change the name on this one to make it witty, it already gets the point across quite well. I'm sure every skeptic, atheist, agnostic, and religious person knows that the Intelligent Design propaganda film Expelled is out now. Now, I'm no person to write a review without watching the movie, but I can guarantee that it is a load of bullshit wrapped in lies. If you look on the Rotten Tomatoes page for it, it's only gotten 2 fresh reviews! Haha!! And, of course everyone knows about the PZ Myers incident at the screening. On top of that, the scientists and all around smart people that where interviewed in the movie were lied to about what the movie was about in the first place! Dawkins says that when he accepted the interview the movie was called Crossroads, and had no indication of a creationism bias.
And on top of that, like every crazy fucker does, they edited the interviews to make the smart people's answers fit what they like. I think I heard that PZ Myers (who is in the movie) was asked a certain question 20 times in the interview, just so the filmmakers could get the answer they wanted. Too bad that he didn't change his answer! Haha, what idiots.
What might even be more humorous than the amount of bullshit contained in this one movie is all of the people on the Rotten Tomatoes forums having a little debate. Of course, being owned by IGN, Rotten Tomatoes is a cesspool of youth on the internet, with acne-clad tweens stating their opinions on movies. But when you get religious teens that know nothing about their own beliefs or the beliefs of others and atheists whom never even researched biology together in an internet forum, it produces conspiracy bullshit on the level of Zeitgiest: the movie.
Aside from one guy that made a pretty funny Kent Hovind joke, all of the people on the Rotten Tomatoes forum know absolutely nothing about what they are debating about. Some even say that the critics are "playing scientist" when in actuality they are in denial because their precious ID propaganda movie epicly failed.

Tests: Part 2
So, it's been a week since I last blogged, and the last one was about tests. I thought it would be appropriate to inform you what happened. It was insane! First off..
I woke up, with my mother abruptly reminding me about the test. I lay for a bit until my mother got agitated and told me to go shower. After many minutes of stalling, I went and showered. While showering I started sobbing and shivering (just like the symptoms for Test Anxiety on wikipedia! D: ). After sobbing for a pathetic 20 minutes, I got dressed and went out to the living room to have some scrambled eggs. I ate them slowly to stall some more. After all was said and done, and after some fighting and stalling, I got into the car and went to the local college to take the test. Once we got there, the line was huge, consisting of lots of students (I don't know if they were high-schoolers or college...ers. I don't know who takes the ACT). After a long wait and an incident with a number 2 pencil, I got into the classroom and said goodbye to my mother and everything good in the world. I was in the test for good.
I got a seat in the back, got my pencil, wrote all of the shit that the lady told me to on the answer sheet and got ready for the english test. The english test was the one test that after taking it, I was pleased with my performance. I felt like I got most of the answers correct and I also enjoyed reading some of the passages.
Test 2 Mathematics. I thought I would do fine on this test, because last time I took the ACT I the best I did was on this very test. I thought wrong. There were hardly any problems of stuff I knew, and it was frustrating to say the least. Geometry, Trig (I think), and Algebra, most problems to least, were the 3 types of math I found. Me being a student of Advanced algebra, I flew through the algebra questions but hit a speed bump at the Geometry and Trig. All in all, it wasn't the best I've done on a math test.
Test 3 Reading. I would never have guessed that I would have an enjoyable time taking a test, but this test wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and actually had some interesting stories. It took me a while to get it done (I'm a slow reader), but I did pretty decent if I say so myself.
Test 4 Science. Holy shit. Last time I took the ACT the science problems were kind of like the math problems, individual, with a sometimes large group of problems, but never like this! This one was more like the english and reading tests, with large tables and an article, followed by about 10 questions. I did horrible, because it asked me stuff I didn't learn yet. I did see some stuff I knew, but I know it wouldn't be enough to get that grade up.
