Atheist

All are opinions, none are meant to offend

I never really understood people who don't believe in "a" god. Sure, maybe the Hindu, Christian, Muslim Gods may not exist but how can a man believe there is no higher being. If there is no higher being, how can you explain our existance? Big bang? Well what caused it and how did the things that started that get there? Evolution from single cell to human? How did that cell get there?

Maybe there is no heaven, but I can still say, there is a god out there. He might not be a Jew, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist, Protestant or Mormon but one exists. It is impossible for something to exist without it being created first. A chicken cannot be made if they dont mate. A pot cannot be exist without it being shaped and heated. I think the same case is true for humans, or any organism or object. Something or someone created us.

One more thing, I dislike Atheists who argue God doesn't exist. You can't prove it so shut up. I remember this kid who would argue about it everytime he heard God mentioned in the room and this kid won't stop until he wins. You know what, no one ever wins. Since the two parties (atheists and catholics) have too different beliefs, there is no common point, idea or anything between them and for an arguement to be won, the parties must come to an agreement of some sort. (I'd source it but I don't remember where I got it). Someone explained to me that theres this theory (insert philosopher's name here)'s Bet. It basically states that religion is like gambling. If you live your life believing there is no God and God just so happen to exist, you're pretty much screwed if you didn't live a virtuous life. If you live life believing God exists, and God doesn't, well thats ok because in the end, you don't go to heaven or hell. Hey, sounds good to me doesn't it? I'd rather live life believing God exists and suffer no consiquences and get rewarded or neither than live life, don't believe in God and suffer in hell (if you screwed up so much that it was the end result). Another thing, why do most Atheists attack the Catholic church? Hindus have Gods, Buddhist have Gods, Protestants have a God, Orthodox Christians have a God. So why just taret the Catholics? By targeting one group, one way or another, Atheists admit that a God exist right? I mean, they don't attack the other groups as often.

Hopefully not all Atheists are like this. I hope some are smart enough to understand that the Christian God is just one of the many Gods people believe in all around the world and by targetting that one God, they're not accomplishing anything since most arguement will be based on loose facts. It is better to have an arguement on whether or not a higher being exists because both sides actually learn something besides butting heads and spreading hate.

Shut up!

Before reading, please consider everything is opinion, nothing is fact. It may or may not offend you. If it does, remember while reading this that a gun is not pointed to the back of your head, theres a mouse and you can exit out from this blog.

I hate it when parents tell you to stop blaming other people. "Take responsiblities for your actions...blah, blah, blah." One of the main thing is that some kids get poor grades in school. So what happens? The parents start blaming the school, well the teachers are crap and dumb and blah, blah, blah. Is it really the teacher's fault? Maybe its the students? Maybe its you? Or maybe its everyone? Yeah, everyone! If the governement isn't willing to fund schools, there will be a lack of resources and low wages for teachers. What do teachers do in turn? They teach but not to their full capability and they're not dedicated to the students too. Now what? The students can't learn the curriculum properly and start having trouble with school. Those dedicated to school work do their job but still they need dedication from the parents. Yeah, so maybe the grades thing is all the student's job but without enough parental envolvement, they can't achieve that. If a parent can't even name three of their kid's teachers and the principal and vice principal, it shows a lack of effort in their part. How can you know your child's trouble spots if you're not even involved with his/her's life? (Bored, angry? Click the back button or the "x")

Think of it this way, in the kid's life, its like having a moronic manager ordering them what to do without clarity. Get your grades up! Oh, ok, any suggestions how? As a teenager, I'm more concerned at how I'm going to spend my weekends than find my inner self and discover my weaknesses. I'm not saying the parent should become Sherlock Holmes and find the kid's trouble spots for them but help them find it and guide them in coming up with a solution. Instead of yelling, "Why are your grades so low?!" then adding a long story about your child hood and their faults, start out with, "I got your grades todays and Class A,B,C seem to be your lowest, what's going on?" and say it in a calm voice, not an enraged one. This would more likely help in finding out why they're struggling.
Seriously, if your boss came up to you and started yelling, "Why is your report like crap? The statistics are off! Its not accurate! If I was doing it I'd research this piece of shit before handing it it!" would you really feel like explaining what the hell happened? Uh...unless you're above the average human, you won't. You would probably come up with some excuse or just ignore everything. Well that the same for a teenager, if they feel like they're about to get the shit talked out of them, they'll ignore it or say what you want or make up excuses, not give real feedback.
(OMG! You're still reading, remember, this is optional)

Yeah, so maybe I sound like a hypocritical teenager ranting about parents, grades and passing the blame, so what? Its not my life, damn! I have decent grades with parents that care, maybe not as much as other but at least it shows effort. I just hate it when my friend complain about this and that and this and that. It gets annoying and if my friend complain about it, so do other teens. So although it seems like I'm bias, well, I am, its not a stupid news article, its a blog. If you comment, don't try to defend the government, the parents, the students and the teachers. Don't comment on how my ideas are stupid, blown out of proportion, inaccurate or whatever. If that's all you can think of, obviously you can't analyze anything well. So before I get hate mail from enraged idiots! Heres the key point(s):

Everyone is to blame
-you
-the government
-the school
-the student

I only targetted the parents because that easier to change, parents are more mature than teenagers meaning they can think, process and come up with an AHA moment. If I rant about how my friends are idiots who complain, it won't do anyhelp because most teenagers are stubborn.

Please be mature, if you don't like this blog, shut up, don't comment. No one forced you to read it, or maybe they did, and thanks to the dude that forced you to read it and sucks for you because you had to read this. (You got far!! OMG!! Rude language, I know, I told you, this was optional)
