An Explanation of My Atheism

A lot of people wonder whether god exists or if we should even take the concept of god seriously on an intellectual level. As an atheist, I'm going to try to tackle those questions in this essay. First, I am going to attempt to justify a set of three criteria I believe should be applied to any claim or assertion. After that, I am going to try to apply those criteria to the concept of "god" in order to illustrate that we should not take the concept of god seriously. For clarity's sake, I would first like to define the term "claim" as being essentially synonymous with the term "assertion." To discuss any claims regarding god's existence, we s

boys who love their grandmothers

never fall in love with a boy who loves his grandmother. he will be too gentle with your lips, too sincere when he whispers blessings into your ears pleading that he doesn't deserve you. his tongue will not slither between your teeth. instead, the heat of his mouth will melt your scar tissue until there is no trace of your travels. never fall in love with a boy who loves his grandmother. he knows patience. you will try to convince him that it is one of the many virtues you don't yet possess, but he will dig through the flesh in your ribcage until he finds it lodged beneath everything you're too scared to confess. he will teach you forg

Racism/Race relations...

0 min read

I had a group presentation in my Social Studies Methods class. The subject was the reading assignment we had about teaching race relations/racism in a high school environment. The main exercise I used was pretty cool.  I had the class read this poem: http://cyranicles.deviantart.com/art/Color-blind-96661659 then I had them: 1) Take out a piece of paper and write how racist they thought the poem's narrator is on a scale of 0-10. 2 ) Put the papers in a pile in the center of their desks mix them up. 3) Get up, walk around, and sit down in a new area. Then,  I had them get a  paper from the center of the new desk they were at. After looki

You and the other guys must have a fight about stuff once in a while. What do you quarrel about? What irritates you?

"On tour, we eat at Subway a lot.. Dan always orders spinach salad with nothing on it… NOTHING. JUST dry spinach... that really gets under my skin. I INSIST that he “PLEASE put at least SOME lube on that badboy” but he NEVER does. He probably never will. That’s a big issue between us.

(Also, the ritual of Elias eating an apple, watching him turning it around, sizing it up for the next loud crunchy bite, gives me so much anxiety that I have to hit myself in the forehead with my book repeatedly just to tune it out. Inevitably I lash out and say something really hurtful.) "
