.I have a question and most likely no one would answer it or they might and the answer they will give probably won't sit right with me but, let's just give it a go shall we? Well here it is: Why is it so hard for organised Religion to just accept Darwin's theory(and fact) of Evolution? Simple question but with so many complex and possibly stupid answers attached with it.
Why is it so hard to accept? Obviously I'm a Pagan believer I believe there is natural energy in this world and we can use this to help us, help us understand Mother Earth on a more intimate way and spiritual way. Perhaps even bless other's with the gift of this energy that's all around us, but, I will not and can not deny that Evolution did occur. Look, before I became a Pagan believer I studied Evolution, its theories, fossils, DNA, biology and everything. I did all of this while I was in 5th grade and it was finally an answer that I could accept. That we evolved into the beings that we are now.
As a young girl I never accepted the Adam and Eve story, that's all it was a story a fairy tale. For me it was a sorry excuse to explain why we are here and even as a little girl, I knew that if that was true that means we're literally all effing related and I knew damn sure that wasn't a fact. So, I never believed in the Catholic/Christian way of "Creation" I mean, think about it. Everyone knows imbreeding is morally wrong and can cause physical and even mental complications with in the children, so if Adam and Eve really were the reason we're alive, why aren't we all stupid, retarded and just plain fucked up?( Oh wait..We are..Huh, plot hole!! ) Jokes aside it just doesn't make sense and it shouldn't sit well with everyone as fact if they are Christian, Catholic, Muslim or what ever the case may be.
Science has a theory( A very STRONG one) on how we came to be and I can not tell you how I lit up as a little girl when I learned of Darwin, Evolution and DNA, biology, how the human body works and the human genome. It was like getting candy at a candy store and learning and knowing that the Dinosaurs I would watch on tv were real at one point blew my fucking mind. I learned as much as I could from 5th grade to when I graduated to even now. So many fossils and so many tests and theories and they are all proven with facts. When you see facts starring at you in the face, is that why its hard to accept?
Because you feel the magic and wonder of it all will be robbed from you? You feel God will no longer have a meaning to you and that life as you know it will lose meaning? Well, suck it up.
If you see Science as a threat to your Religion you're taking it way too seriously, for Christ's sake, I believe in Leviathan a giant fucking Sea Snake. Now, common sense tells me if she was real and this Earth is really confining her and junk, we'd be screwed and not only that, where would she hide? She's longer and bigger than this piece of shit rock we live on, no matter where'd she go, we could see her and yet, we don't...Isn't that odd? As a Pagan believer I can rationalize and think with Science and I can still believe in the teachings of Wicca.( Now, I'm not saying all Pagan's are gifted with this, nor does being a Pagan believer make you think this way, what I'm saying is that I am a Pagan believer and even though I allow Religion in my life. I don't pretend Science is wrong and nor do I try to make it look like it is because I know how Scientific Theories are formed I know how the game works, I'm not going to disrespect facts with mindless fiction. Because in reality, to me, that's all Religion really is, never forget. Religion was made by MAN. Not God, it was made by MAN. ) I don't lose anything if anything I gain more knowledge and I learn to think of life in a different way.
Why can't you guys do it too?
And if you bust up with the Bible says this, let me tell you a ridiculous story of how the Seasons occur, according to Wiccan belief(That's right, I said "Ridiculous" and I still believe in it) The year starts with the Goddess(The Moon) heavy with child, as she reigns over us during the cold winter night, blessing us with her beauty and love. As the days slowly become longer and the nights become shorter, The Goddess gives birth( now I'm not exactly sure what days or months the story goes with but I'm pretty sure you can just fill in the blanks.), she gives birth to her son, who is young, naive and handsome. As her son grows the day grows with him, they become longer( figured out who the son is? I'll give you a hint, it sounds like 'son'). As the day gets longer and the son gets older, he warms Mother Earth with his loving heat; providing crops and animal life to start up once more. During his life and growth he slowly blesses us with the feeling lust because of this heat and the warmth that he provides( Think about it, in the summer a lot of people get horny for some unholy reason. Young men are at their prime women exercise so they can look appealing for a potential fling or spouse ect. Get the idea? ) The Goddess slowly notices changes in her son, from the young, youthful and playful child, to the slowly maturing young man, and into a mature man(btw, the sun is called The God and yes, the God/son seduces his mom. Ain't that something?).
The Goddess and The God reign peacefully and together, equally(sometime during the seasons there is a period of equal day and night, this is what the story is referring too.). But slowly, the Lord grows older while the Goddess stays youthful and beautiful. As the Lord wanes The Goddess continues to care for him, the days becoming shorter and the nights becoming longer. During the last few days with her lover, the Goddess' says a prayer to her Lord and finds out that she is pregnant by him, the last gift he gives to her so that she may remember him. Thus, the Lord finally dies and the Earth succumbs to longer nights once more( by this point it is Winter once more) and the cycle repeats.
Now, tell me if that isn't some crazy stuff? I love the story it gives more meaning to the seasons for me, and it gives it a magical energy, but let's be serious. That isn't true, nor will it ever be. But, the story doesn't lose meaning, or merit for me just because I accept Science into my life.
So again, I ask: Why is it so hard to accept Evolution or Science period even though you're a Religious believer?
Wiccan thoughts: Hope
May the Lord and Lady guide and protect, may they bless this sacred land we live on and may they grant us the fruit of life to cherish and hold for many years to come.

What..The Fuck?
Okay, I just have to say something...What the fuck!?
Look at this captain douchebag right here: http://front.moveon.org/rick-perrys-anti-gay-campaign-video-disliked-by-over-200000-people-and-counting/#.TuPZI4UAAEO.facebook
What? Gay people are the reason kids can't celebrate Christmas? What the fuck sense does that make? I've seen and heard some crazy stuff but this guy is just, wow.
First off, this is offensive to gays in the gay community and I mean all of us; which includes myself. I don't even think this bigot knows what he's talking about. I just have to see it again I'm just amazed right now.
Does this idiot realize it took a long time for Gay people to be even allowed to admit they are openly gay in the military? Simply because if they let that out they would be released on the spot or worse, blackmailed by their own troops.
King stupid here seems to forget there is a reason why Religion and Congress are separated and its for this simple line: Freedom of Speech and Expression. First off, I refuse to get on my knees and pray for a Religion I don't believe in. Second why would you need your kids being forced to do that craziness? Being a kid is all about being a kid, not some crazy robot who has to get on their knees when ever adults feel its necessary.
I don't know, perhaps I'm just rambling and not making much sense because I'm in a state of awe and slight confusion. :/
Oh, and in case you need this Mr. Rick Perry, just so you know, Christianity is the main reason the Holy War's started in the first place, with they're bigotry ideas on Pagan ways and scare tactics. ( Hope you guys didn't forget about the Salem Witch Hunts..Because I didn't learning about that horrible event in history breaks me in two.) Children go to school to learn, to better themselves, learn simple values and learn from what they know and chose for themselves what is right and what is wrong. The last thing they need in a hectic life of being a kid and or a teenager is some teacher telling and forcing them to pray for a religion they find to be wrong or not right.

Random blog, don't mind this.
God..Fuck my life.
No, seriously, fuck it over. Because you just do it oh so effing well! :D
Complete sarcasm. :/
Anyway, I've been playing on my Nintendo DSi for weeks now and I finally got everything I want from my favorite game of all time(Megaman/Rockman Zero). That game is a fucking headache, I wanted to jump off a roof because it's so annoyingly impossible sometimes.
But I did it and now once again Copy X is becoming a effing problem for me. :/
...Bastard.
I just want to get through this game so I can start playing the second game because I seriously need a new story line and this one is just getting too damn old.
P.S. Omega I'm coming for your ass be prepared.

Ello everyone.
This is just a common starter blog, letting everyone know I'm a complete and total n00b. I hope you guys can give me pointers or even topics that I can blog my opinions of on this site and I hope you don't mind too much the nonsensical blogs I may make. Since I'm kind of tired of using DeviantArt to talk about my fustrations with Rockman Zero or my happiness with playing on the PS3 or any just plain stupid. So, fair warning now, half of the things I may put up might not make sense or even be important but if you stick with me hopefully we can talk and make each other think.
Blessed Be everyone.
Blessed Be everyone.
