I'm no fan of bandwagons. I'd like to think that, political and religious affiliations aside, my
ideology of life is logic. It's helped me out rather well so far; add to that a rather laid-back approach to life, and you'll
often see me debating what looks like both sides to the same debate. This is nothing more than me simply responding to the herp
derp that seems to, inevitably, take place on both sides. I wrote up a massive post before, but it was a bit too long, so
I'll see if I can cut this one down. Continue...

If you live in the United States of America and you watch the news, you are probably aware of two
distinct, yet very related, things. One, this country is a Christian nation, founded on Christian principles by Christian founding

I don't like resolutions for the new year. At all. To me it always seemed like a way of saying,
'I know there are things I can do to improve my life now, but for some reason I'm going to wait months and months to even try to
start.' Life is too short for that type of outlook, especially when you're going to fail most of them anyway and then have to wait
the entire year to start them over again. We impose upon ourselves an arbitrary day where everything begins, and we put more
emphasis on making them sound good than following through. Anyone who's ever tried to get a gym membership will know what I mean
(but the two times you went were worth it I'm sure). Continue...
