I was at my cross-country meet today, which was hosted by a Christian school in my area. However, not all the schools competing were necessarily Christian schools (mine definitely wasn't), but they kept playing Christian rock music as we were running, and the other girls on my team made me and another girl who happens to be an atheist huddle together in prayer with them (we didn't tell them we were atheists, but we didn't think they'd just automatically assume that we weren't). Since it's a school-sponsored event (with schools that aren't Christian schools), do you think this was a violation of separation of church and state? I mean, I wasn't extremely offended by it or anything, but it was just something I happened to notice.
How has social media gotten so stupid?
You thought the cinnamon challenge was a really freaking stupid idea? "Well, it's not like the risks involved with it are that high," you say. "It's harmless fun."
Then the cold water challenge comes along. "Well... as long as they get right out of the water afterwards, they might not be harmed by it," you say, forcing a laugh. "Kids nowadays..."
And then, we have something so unfathomably stupid and dangerous, that we wonder why we didn't stop this chain reaction of stupidity that led to even greater stupidity in the first place. What am I referring to? According to a recent news report, a teenager set himself on fire as a part of the "f
WHY.
WHY? I JUST WANT TO KNOW... WHY.
Why is the U.S. continuing to send weapons and ammunition and all sorts of stuff to a country that is persecuting the people of another country that were there first for the sake of their religious beliefs? What happened to the separation of church and state? Does that mean anything in this country anymore? The literal reason why the war between Israel and Palestine is happening is because the Israelis, a group of religious, self-righteous assholes think that Israel is their promised land from their God, and that's their excuse to drive the Palestinians out, killing millions of innocent people (including chil
Re: Prayer Doesn't Heal the Sick. Medicine Does.
So, a couple days ago, I made a journal expressing how I feel about people believing that prayer heals the sick and don't attribute anything to medicine or doctors. I'm bringing this journal up again because of a conversation that I had with my mom. We were talking about how some people refuse to get vaccinations, and, in passing, I made the remark: "Yeah. It's just as crazy as the people who refuse to get medical help for a disease because they think that prayer alone will help them." Now, thankfully, my mom agreed that people need to get medical help in order to stay alive and well, but she also said, "I believe that God gave doctors the kn
The GOP is actually planning to impeach Obama...
Just because they didn't get their way on universal healthcare, and they're now saying that Obama's actions are "abuse of executive power." I already thought the GOP was acting like spoiled children when they shut the government down over this issue, but this is taking it to a whole new level. BOO HOO. OBAMACARE GOT PASSED. OBAMA IMPLEMENTED IT. DEAL WITH IT, AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, COME UP WITH A BETTER SOLUTION, AND IF THE PEOPLE REALLY LIKE IT, THEN THEY'LL PUT YOUR PARTY IN OFFICE NEXT TIME. QUIT ACTING LIKE BABIES.
So, yet again, my respect for the Republican party has decreased, as with every other stupid thing they do. This party re

Let me ask you this; did it bother you enough that you didn't enjoy the event? If so, perhaps you could mention it to the organizer in your school, who, one would hope, might ask that the practice not be imposed on non-Christians, and perhaps insist that the event be held elsewhere. On the other hand, if it didn't bother you, I would just let it slide; when in Rome... I've been invited to a few sabbath dinners in my time, and now I own a kepi (a skull cap), not because I'm Jewish (I'm not), but because when someone invites me to their home, I try to respect their traditions.
