Jehovah's Little Witness is Stalking Me

I have three days of vacation that I have been looking forward to for some time. All I want to do is eat, drink, sleep, and squeeze in some chores before I have to go back to work on Thursday. However, a decision I made over a month ago is starting to threaten my chances of having a most excellent mini-vacation. 

I wish I could have back the moment I answered the door for a Jehovah's Witness with two children under 5 in cute little snow suits. She totally had them there as bait. It had snowed something terrible the previous night and I thought she needed help. LOL! I was so wrong! 

I was on my way to work so she didn't stay to talk to me about whatever, so she handed over a book, a piece of paper with her phone number on it, and told me TO CALL HER IF I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WHAT I READ. 

Needless to say, I didn't read the book, I think I threw it away when I got to work. I also no longer have her phone number...why would I call her? She wants to talk about shit that I have no desire to talk about. While I would rather talk about The Fassbender and his triumphant return to the big screen in Jane Eyre, she  would rather talk about God and other stuff that I could care less about. 

This shouldn't come as a surprise to my loyal legion. I have spoken about my dislike of overzealous religious folk in the past. The ones that push their blind religious views on me and try to call me a heathen just because I would rather believe in things like facts over the Bible. I'm not going to apologize for what I believe. I don't push my views on others, but I find that I'm always being pressured into believing in this tomfoolery. 

In the past few weeks, I lived my life like I normally have, then last week there was a note on my door. It was from the Witness, saying that she hadn't heard from me and wanted to know if I had read the book she gave me.

After reading the note, I thought: wow, that's a little aggressive. I had no intention of reading the book when she gave it to me, but I just had to be the good guy and listen to her unlike my neighbors. I laughed to myself, because this kind of shit always happens to me. Every time I'm nice to a complete stranger, they take advantage of me. It's like this, I've these bitches an inch and they want to run with a fucking mile. It's annoying, but I brushed it off; thinking home girl would get the hint.

Now here it is 2/28/2011, and this chick has shown up at the start of my damn vacation with another note. She's lucky I was asleep and dead to the world when she rang the doorbell, or else she would have gotten it something seriously. The way I have been feeling lately would have allowed me to go full force on her ass. 

Chick...I didn't call you. I'm not going to call you. I don't want to call you. Tell Jehovah that, however I'm pretty sure HE already knows. 

Hopefully by the time she shows up again, I have calmed down. And hopefully, my mini-vacation isn't ruined by this little glitch. 

Guess Who I Saw Today!!! Well Yesterday...

UGH!!! I hate her! Old goofy c*nt (I really hate that word, but that's what she is!) with a stupid old haircut. She, being the teacher I had to give the business to, was at my place of business today. I wanted to snatch that wig looking hair off of her head and toss it to little kids playing on the escalators. I really wanted to do some damage, but my boss was standing right next to me, and she's so sweet I believe the act would actually offend her. 

I saw her coming up to me so I tried to pay her no mind. I know my temper so let's just say I was doing the right thing. However, home girl kept eying me down like she wanted to do something. Maybe me telling the head of her department about her behavior in class and her lack of teaching got her in more trouble than I hoped for, because she was looking at me like she wanted to take it outside. I'm no punk so after about twenty seconds of staring, I began to look back with my best "Bitch I'm From South Side" look that always manages to scare. 

As luck would most likely have it, nothing happened. She didn't say anything to me...only whispered to a friend, pointed at me (which would have pissed me off in 2004 but I'm a lady now), and walked away. What a lovely "Christian" adult woman she must be.

Proof That Religion = Stupidity

I honestly don't like to knock religion but when I see it holding back the impressionable minds of the youth, it makes me sad. Now I don't think I'm the smartest person in the world, but I know good and damn well the things that these children believe in is based off of pure fairytale. I hate it when I hear people saying, “God said..." because God hasn't said shit! The words of The Bible were written by man hundreds of years after the death of Jesus Christ and millions of years after the Earth's creation. People still like to say what Jesus, God, Moses, and his brother said or did as if there were living witnesses to the acts of these so-called "Great Men". It really bugs me.

The below video is about The Evolution of Man. To be honest with you, I don't believe in evolution. I just refuse to believe that my ancestors were chillin hairy in some tree one day and hairless with a dirty martini the next. I believe in science. I believe that one day there was some freak occurrence in the world and then BOOM! There goes life on Earth. I don’t like one theory over the other. I believe it is just as wrong to teach evolution in school as it is religion. In this way the government is telling the youth at the schools that teaching religion is wrong and evolution is 100% fact. However, this is the same government that contradicts itself with the whole separation of church and state rule while it promotes its “In God We Trust” and “One Nation Under God” mottos in times of despair. It is unfair because it is conflicting and confusing to many which is why I’m staying 100% agnostic until I know what is up.

As a person who just doesn’t know, I’m automatically put into the category of atheist. That isn’t fair to me. Someone even told me that I was being “Un-American” because I chose to break away from the Christian faith. With so many religions out there how can you tell me that I’m wrong and you’re right because you believe in the national religion and I don’t? Is it okay for me to call you a fool because I believe you’re participating in a simple pastime that stifles your ability to grow as a person?

I get so many emails whenever I post about religion. I get asked why am I so angry about religion and why am I the way that I am? I am what I am because after following religion my whole life no one was able to answer me when I asked, “why?” There are so many contradictions within The Bible that as a kid at a Catholic school when I asked why it was okay for so and so to kill his son on the behalf of God although Thou shall not kill is one of the Ten Commandments. I was told because when God tells you to do something you do it. Later, years of hearing about people killing this person or that person or that group of people because God told them to do it, I had enough. I’m an adult now so I choose to believe what it is that I want, but I refuse to push my own personal beliefs onto someone who didn’t seek the info.

Instead of good vs. bad people the world has turned into the religious vs. the non religious. I’m not a bad person just a citizen of the world who wants to know why. I sometimes I still feel like that little kid who wonders why, and that’s what I see with the teenagers in the video. They shake their heads and question the evolutionist, which is what they are supposed to do, but then calling him wrong based off of their narrow-minded church teachings and the unwillingness to open up to new ways of thinking is what makes them wrong.

I hope when I have children the world isn’t so caught up in religion. Children with good hearts and great minds is all I wish for.
