Other women will come and go man. The trick is to find your best friend… the one you connect the best with all things considered, and to never leave their side. I’m not gonna lie, the fact that this girl is slutty is probably what is getting to you… even if you don’t like it in girls like your…

God is not real. He is like the Easter Bunny -Alex
What is the Easter bunny? It is the character made up to cover up the Resurrection of the LORD. What is Santa Clause? The character made up to cover up the Birth of the LORD. No Santa Clause is not the same as St. Nick. St. Nick was a man who gave money to the poor, on the anniversary of the Birth of the LORD. These...

“If evil still exists, evil hasn’t been done away with.
God is ultimately responsible for everything. You cannot credit God for the sun that warms the Earth, the beauty in a child’s laugh, or anything else good, but not hold Him accountable for the bad. Whether by His action or inaction, God is in control of everything.
If you want to argue that the bad things and evil things...

Andrew Kletzien on "Atheism a Religion"
whydidhechooseme:
“The very idea of an omnipotent and omnibenevolent god in a world filled with evil is complete fallacy. If god did exist, he is either not all-powerful or is malevolent. You can’t have both if evil exists in the world, which it does.” -Andrew Kletzien
God created everything perfect. God also gave man free will. After the fall of man sin entered the world. Some would ask why,...
Cavalier Flair on "Atheism a Religion"
whydidhechooseme:
“Atheists don’t see it that way.
Atheists view it a freedom, the freedom from worrying about pleasing an untouchable deity in the heavens and constantly donating time to Him when when our times is so short.
I’m not an atheist, and I’ve been questioning my faith for a while. But if Christians want to speak to atheists and not have them roll their eyes in exasperation, they’ve...

Atheism a Religion?
whydidhechooseme:
What is Atheism? It is the belief that there is no higher power, no God or gods, no hope or life after death. Atheist say it would be weird if anything else were true. But it takes more faith to believe that there is nothing but a depressing end to life, than to believe in a loving merciful God.
Atheists don’t see it that way.
Atheists view it a freedom, the freedom...

"I like your straight hair better"
Leaving Work: So I’m walking out of the door, smiling, ready to start my 3 day weekend when I’m stopped by a random coworker from another account. We know each other by sight, only in passing and have exchanged cordial words and maybe a few laughs a few times.
Random Coworker: Your hair, I like it better this way…
Me: (Shocked) Well that’s too bad because it won’t be this way next week!!!
Random Coworker: But I like it THIS way
Me: (Annoyed) Ummm…I never asked you what you liked…Besides "I" like it both ways…This week I happened to like it this way and next week im gonna wear it the other way “I” like it…I wear my hair the way that "I" want to wear it!!!!!!!!!!!! (storms off disgusted…no longer smiling)
My Thoughts: First of all WHO THE HELL ARE YOU to me to even think that I would even CARE or give 3 shits or 4 fucks about what you like when it comes to me? Nobody, again I repeat Nobody!!! I DON’T know you…You DON’T know me….This is clear because if you knew me you would NOT have come at me with that BS…On any given day I speak ONLY to be cordial!!! I see so many fellow naturals and transitioners blog about these encounters but this was my first and I must say that I was REALLY REALLY REALLY annoyed (pissed). If his intentions were to compliment me on my “long, bone straight, silky, smooth hair” then he failed miserably…Anytime a person indicates that they like something else “BETTER”, the implication is that something is definitely wrong with the other thing that they are comparing “Better” to…You are implying that what “YOU” like on “ME” is superior to what “I” like on myself…The nerve!!!!!!!!! I just really hate that we (naturals and transitioners) are often put in these situations where some sort of explanation (rude or not) is needed in order to put people in their places when it comes to how we choose to wear OUR hair. All he had to say was “Your hair looks nice” from which I would have replied “Thank you” and kept it moving smile still in tact. Instead I was fuming all the way home prompting me to blog about this STUPID encounter....Most people on my job are used to seeing me with the straight hair as I have been there for almost 5 years…I wore it straight this entire time until 4 months ago...The last time I straightened it was August 11, 2011 so no one really said anything. Two other people commented without comparing the two looks. All who commented have been hired within the last few months and were all guys, but the first two did nothing anywhere close to the “RANDOM COWORKER” THAT KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT ME, WHO THOUGHT IT WAS OK FOR HIM TO VOICE HIS OPINION ABOUT MY HAIR IN A WAY THAT WAS NOT ONLY A COMPLETE FAIL BUT ALSO IN A WAY THAT WAS INGNORANT AND SIMPLE MINDED. #THATIS ALL…

my favorite holiday
dreadlocs:
it’s easy for a cynic to tear down holidays. thanksgiving celebrates genocide. christmas is pagan. slaves were chained in the room the declaration of independence was signed in. and so on. and so on.
but new years is different to me. new years is an arbitrary day not inextricably connected to any horrendous history. some people laugh at empty resolutions, but i...

The Best Writing Advice I Ever Received
katedorhout:
The best writing advice I ever received was from an unlikely source, because it was from the strangest writing teacher I ever had. Let’s call him “Ken”. His advice was this: if your scene is lagging, bring in a gun.
This doesn’t mean literally throw in a gun into every scene, that would be ridiculous. It means that every scene needs conflict- so bring in conflict. The easy fix is...
