Religious VS Non-religious.

    The fight has gone on for centuries. The atheists claiming the religious people are nuts for believing in a god or higher being. The religious people saying it's crazy not to believe.

     I think the tides have turned against religion. Not in the fact that they are wrong. But that the ones that try and claim they are wrong have found a way to get louder and make people think there are more of them than there really are. Where is this voice? The liberal media, Internet Forums and other Internet posts. We see it all the time. We are bombarded with it. 

     It has only come to show me that most of the vocal atheists out there are mere children when it comes to anything. Why do I say this. Well they call anyone that tries to contradict them morons, idiots, or just plain stupid, along with a myriad of many different names that I can't think of or would prefer not to say or in this case type. But the basic thing is that they are not teachable. They have been trained by the world to hate. They have been trained by the world to be stubborn. The religious world is not fighting against a competent foe. They are fighting anger and malice. They are fighting people that do not understand because they are not willing to understand much less even give a thought to trying.

    For these people it is a loosing battle. They do not want you accept them for who they are, they want you to accept them for what they do. Can a Mass murderer tell all of us that he was just born to kill, he cannot help it. NO! He would still be punished and banned from society. He knows better he just decides not to follow it. Can a wall street banker steal millions of dollars and tell us he could not help it, he was born to take money from others. NO! He would be forced to pay the money back and what he could not repay in cash would be repaid in prison.

   So why in the world do we accept all this anti-religious semitism. Why are we forced to accept some people for what they do and not who they are? Why are religious people call bigots and morons for stating what they believe to be true. Because the Media is now open to everyone. The educated are not the ones giving us all our news. Half the time the news we get is just bias as it is. Religion is under attack by the uneducated of the world. The ones that would not believe that you have two hands if you told them. They would have to see it, touch it, taste it. to believe in it and even then they would be in doubt.
   
    Religion is in an intense fight. If you look at it in a religious sense you would see that it is the devil and the fence sitters that are making this fight possible. That is why it is a fight of nonsense. Because it is only a fight of hatred. Hate does not allow thoughts of understanding to enter. It blocks all that is good. You cannot see good if your looking for the bad. This is Satins fault, and he easily passes it on to us when we are in a weak state of mind.

Our we DeValuing our money?

     I hear every day every one wanting to become the next Millionaire. and you hear about it all the time. But what has happened seems to be hurting us rather than helping us. Now the rich people instead of being millionaires have to be billionaires.
     Of course I have heard also that the typical CEO of a company use to make lets say 90 times the average employee and now they make nearly 250 times the average employee. Is not the 90 times enough? Can you not buy plenty of your toys getting 90X my yearly or monthly salary? Have we become a country of so much greed that we are willing to throw any morals aside in the quest for a bigger Humvee before turning it in for a massive loss because we hated it.
     We encourage Crap products to be built. And someones makes it for $0.05 and sells it for $10 and we get this idea that its great. He or She makes millions of dollars because we have to buy it over and over again.
     These Big companies outsource American designed products to some third world country that replace the metal with plastic. The CEO of the company gets a Big raise and a bonus on top of that. Then 6 months later he leaves the company with a big lawsuit on it because the product is faulty. Does he care? No because he has made his millions.
      I realize there is very little or nothing I can personally do about this. I just have a gripe that everyone thinks that they are entitled to be a millionaire. Now it seems Millionaires are a dime a dozen. I wish we could fix this. But the mentality of this country and its people would not allow this. Everyone wants money. We all want that bigger house. I admit I am sometimes one of those people. But I still don't think it is right that the average CEO salary has grown 4x faster than the average employee.

Great Week, Somber Weekend

    Well this past week Started off Pretty Well. Cassie and I were getting ready for out Engagement photos and video. So it was allot of waxing,plucking,whitening and cleaning. Basically I was looking clean cut and younger for my pictures. Hopefully anyway. 
    Then Thursday we had the photo's It was quite fun. It was up at president circle at the U of U. We had allot of fun and I hope to have stuff up on our wedding site before next week.
     Friday was just a catch up day. Cleaning, Washing, Doing the things that I don't get to during the week. Getting a nice Dinner With my Cassie Belle, and having a relaxing night.
     Saturday was a mix of allot of different things. I did my normal morning workout and then printed a sticker for a sign around noon. Then I had a small lunch at home and then headed over to Cassie's because we were going to dinner with both my parents and her parents for the first time. I should say were because about 5 min out from the restaurant I got a phone call from my Dad. I was at first thinking he was just wondering if we were there yet or not. Now wish that had only been the case. But it was far more shocking. My dad was calling to cancel. He had to cancel because he had just been called moments before by my Cousin Terreye. She called to tell him her mother(His younger sister) had just passed away. This caught me off guard. So I can only imagine on how much it threw my dad off. My parents waited for us at the restaurant and met with Cassie's parents for a few minuets before rushing off to my aunt and uncles house. 
    I went to nervous and excited to sad and somber so quickly. I am pretty sure this is similar to how the rest of the family felt. This was so unexpected, There was no warning. We did not get that call saying she had took a turn for the worst, She was supposedly a little sick and put to bed to rest. No final good byes. 
    So this is mine. 
    
    I will miss you Aunt Clara. I will miss you giving me little jabs when I cam to visit you at home and at work. I will miss you calling me about computer problems. I am sorry that I did not make the time to come over and visit more often. I should have learned sooner that if work takes over your life it's just not worth it. I thank you for all the years of support that you have given me and my family. The Good sister and more importantly Great friend that you have been to my father. We thank you for the time that we had. We all love you and will miss you.

     Love, The Annoying one.

Enguagement pictures.

    I was so nervous yesterday that the engagement pictures were going to be busy and allot of blah. But they were great. I had allot of fun. got a good workout walking everywhere and holding a few crouching poses for longer than I expected. All good and allot of fun. 
    I think Cassie and my lips, and cheeks were both soar from all the kissing and smiling for 3 hours. But it was worth it. We will now have pictures for our kids to laugh at our outfits in 10 to 20 years. But it will show us as we are young. Something to say " Hey I was extremely attractive when I was younger also!"
    Altogether it was a fun ride and good fun. Maybe you will even see me floating away with a balloon. Who knows what is next.
