Okay, Christians sometimes really make me mad. If you are going to get up in front of a class of both Christians and non-Christians to debate a hot topic, you better have some support other than the Bible says so. It was the homosexual marriage group's day to debate, and homosexual marriage proponent made a well-informed, logical opening to the debate. The guy against it basically only replyed with the Bible says its bad and our country is mostly Christian, therefore majority wins and its bad. He used no logic, nothing. Ugh. Its no wonder why people are repelled from religion. As Christians in the world but not of it, we should be researching and trying to understand what is going on in the world around us and learning about other views. Dad never let me get away with the simple argument: "Be open-minded enough that you brain can air out, but not so much that they fall out." We need to be open minded, but not to the extent where anything goes because there are some boundaries.
Okay, enough ranting. I went to a poetry reading at a coffee shop the other night. It was really good. The Athens Boys Choir (a poetry duo of a gay and a lesbian) were the featured artists and they were awesome. We went to the Waffle after which brought back a lot of old memories. Good times. Had some good discussions on the way to and back from poetry which was cool.
The year is rapidly winding down. Shouldn't be bad after 2pm today, should be all downhill from there. Mom is coming Wednesday. She wants to have lunch with a bunch of my friends here . I warned her that most people will be stressing over exams and the year winding down and probably won't have time, but it'll be worth a try. Wow, I just read a friend's away message: its the last Monday. Weird. Ack, I'm late!
