God Was in My Bed...

Okay, maybe not...But between that title and the picture, I'm sure I caught your attention...And yes, God is the feature topic of this post...If you read my last POST, you know I get salty when God and Politics and matters of the State get mixed together...Well that's not the only time it gets under my skin...

My 12 years of Catholic schooling taught me many things...Including that God or a Higher Power does not picks sides in sporting events...I have attended mass at The Basilica at Notre Dame, and gone to the Grotto countless times, and not only did I not pray for a victory, I'm pretty sure if I did, it wouldn't have mattered...It's not God's fault the Irish couldn't stop NAVY's option attack...

We often hear athletes thank God after a big victory...How they couldn't have done it without him...Hell I saw that JET dude from the Mavericks do it...(Yeah I don't really follow basketball)...And then LeBron James tweeted how God wasn't ready for him to win a championship yet...Ummm guys, I highly doubt that the Almighty was really focused on your Basketball game!

The NBA Draft was Thursday night...The NHL Draft started Friday night...There have been guys drafted in both, who got in front of a mic and thanked, "The Lord Jesus Christ." He didn't get you drafted! You coaches over the years...Your parents...The quality competition you faced...Hard work and determination....These things got you drafted...

We've seen entertainers thank God when they win awards...Really? God enjoyed your movie so much more, that he snapped his fingers and said, 'YOU WIN!' Grow up people!

I'm not hating on people for being religious...I'm not shitting on them for having a strong commitment to their Faith...Whatever gets you through your days...If it helps you sleep at night, great...But I think there needs to be a bit of common sense involved...The idea of God, or an all-powerful being, that is in charge of this crazy world, is big...That's serious shit...And to think this higher power really gives a shit about who wins and loses the "Super Bowl" just seems silly to me...

I mean isn't he busy right now, with the drought, the wild-fires, the flooding, raining out Tee-Ball games...Japan being radioactive from 3 meltdowns, and still having small quakes...Alaska has had Quakes all week...Wars around the world...Genocide in Africa...Seems like there are some things ahead of who wins and loses on the big guy's to-do list...

Oh, and by the way Kurt Warner and LeBron James...All that bad stuff I mentioned...You know, the wars, genocide, floods, earthquakes, droughts, blah, blah, blah, all that...Now is God causing that? Or is he suppose to fix that stuff...Just wondering!

Sorry if I got too heavy...Here's where I boosted the title from...

Where Are We? We Are Here...

I was going to get into this in my Hump Day post, but I want that to have a lighter tone possibly...So here goes...

With all that is going on in Japan, I started thinking about the world, and God, and us...Us pompous human beings...I never believed in the 2012 hype, but with multiple volcanoes in recent months...Earthquakes in New Zealand, and this monster in Japan, followed by the Tsunami, and now possible Nuclear devastation...Maybe this shit is real...

Why wouldn't it be...The Earth is an ever-changing thing...I believe there is "Climate Change" going on...But I also believe it's always been going on, and there isn't a thing us humans can do about it...We think we are so special, but we're so small...Compared to the Earth, we are small...

The Earth has always been evolving, and it will continue to...And when it wants to, it's going to shake us off, like a sticky booger...We can't stop it, we can't change it...We think we are so important...I said how small we are compared to the Earth...And the Earth is so small in the universe...And we need to realize it, and realize we have no control over any of it...

So what do we do? Many people have their faith...Faith is hard for me...I went to Catholic school for 12 years...I've read the Bible...I don't believe it to be true...I believe the truth is intended by the author...The message is the important part...But even sometimes the message is garbage...

Last night I was looking at Genesis...The whole Adam and Eve story really bothers me...Why would God give them a Tree of Life, and a Tree of Knowledge...Oh, and he gave man Freewill...But they aren't allowed to eat from the Tree of Knowledge...Why is knowledge so bad? Then of course Eve is tempting Adam...Pushing him to eat the Apple from the Tree of Knowledge...Right of the bat the Bible is putting women in a bad light...

My theory: That knowledge they speak of, is carnal knowledge...That apple they speak of, was Eve's apple bottom...That's right, Adam got some ass, and then we were all sinners, and we all blame the broad...Seems fucking ridiculous to me!

What am I going to do? I'm going to keep riding this ride, and remember that we are just a small part, of a "Pale Blue Dot"

More Douchebaggery From Westboro Baptist Church

Yes, I'm here to write about the Westboro Baptist Church...These f**k-tards have been out of the news for a little bit, and they have a great excuse to get back in there...The passing of Heavy Metal singer, Ronnie James Dio...That's right, Westboro Baptist Church will be ProtestingDio'sFuneral ...You know, because Heavy Metal=EVIL!

You see, the Westboro Baptist Church has made it's name by protesting funerals...Their favorite funerals to protest? Those of fallen American soldiers...They stand outside, or across the street from the funeral with their anti-America, anti-gay, anti-Jew, anti-f**king everyone signs, and taunt the friends and family of the fallen...

I have always supported free speech...I have often blogged about it's importance...And while that part of me feels these assholes have the right to say what they want...There's another part of me that thinks the only right they should have, is the right to stop breathing...If it wasn't for the soldiers who have continued to sacrifice their lives for this country for generations, f**k-stains like these people wouldn't have free speech to fall back on...

It's not Ronnie James Dio, or Heavy Metal that are evil...It's the Westboro Baptist Church...I don't know who the f**k their hate filled god is, but my God would let Dio sing in his church anytime...

Oh, and little word of advice to these wastes of sperm...When you protest a military funeral, you're dealing with a number of very disciplined people...And you've been lucky that you haven't taken the beating/bullet to the head, you deserve...But now, you're may get a different animal...Some die hard Dio fan from Iowa is gonna spend two paychecks from his shit job, stocking shelves at the grocery store, to pay his last respects to one of his idols...He's gonna see you f**k-sticks, and not give...Not one drop of discipline in this guy...And he's gonna bash your head in...And I will applaud him, and the only bit of regret I'll have, is that I wasn't there to help him...
