Religion and God

I asked a bunch of questions a long time ago pertaining to God. I am now Agnostic. Following a bunch of people believing in one God because a book told them its true and also believing that if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't exist seems ignorant. When you start looking into science to be able to explain our world, you start seeing that science today makes a good portion of the bible seem like exaggerated claims. The book of Genesis for example. Religious people seem to have their blind faith in order for them to be able to actually believe all these claims that God made the cosmos, the earth and us among *other things. It's this blind faith that allows them to pass off any kind of logical sense or rational thought about their "God". I'm not trying to preach to you. Nor am I trying to put my beliefs on you or anybody else. Just throwing out some food for thought. One could twist words into anything to make their point of view work, but lets cut the shit, the bible directs you to think were the only ones "God" made, if it wasn't for God, we wouldn't be here. Our solar system is just one in the Milky Way. There's an estimated 100-400 billion stars in our own galaxy each with their own solar system with a potential planet that may sustain life. That's just within our own Milky Way. *1 Galaxy* That being said about just *1* galaxy, there's an estimated 500 Billion+ of these galaxy's in the universe. Each galaxy with billions of stars, each star with it's own solar system, each solar system with its own planets and each planet that could quite possibly sustain life. Knowing and truly understanding and wrapping your head around this fact, it is completely arrogant and ignorant to actually believe that were the only ones and that were only here because God got a hair up his ass one day, felt frisky and decided to make us and poof here we are. Again, this is all my opinion and am no way trying to shove this down you or anybody's throat. But I hear a ton of religious people completely pass any of these facts, twisting their words so it somehow pertains to some bible passage, losing shit in translation ever so convieniently. These same religious people and their blind faith also truly believe that their not hypocrites, but more importantly, that their not ignorant. They believe in themselves as being rational, understanding, humble and open minded individuals. In fact most of them are quite the contrary. (There are exceptions, but not many). They're typically very close minded, irrational, illogical, prideful, close minded people with no humility <-(even though they teach it). Its my belief that until you actually understand all sides of a situation, you can't accurately come up with a educated conclusion. That being said, religious people tend to portray they understand science, and are okay with it until that science could possibly raise questions that might debunk God, and some teachings of the Bible, how can these people really believe their not ignorant, "blindly" denying facts. I guess blind faith makes ignorance bliss. In the end though these are merely my thoughts and to each their own. I understand that religion is here whether or not God exists, for the betterment of man. I also understand that the bible has many great teachings, passed off wisdom and understanding from man thru the ages. But human beings have fought for centuries, no matter what religion you are, your religions history has had its own bloodbath in the name of childishly trying to prove, "Mines right yours is wrong" within our history. We don't know how to really utilize these tools without diving into war. It is not until weighing all of this out and much more that in my honest opinion, religion needs to cease to exist. Again, these are my own thoughts and my own opinion. I understand that this picture I'm posting with this may seem ignorant in itself, sadly this picture is the solid truth and what we as human beings have turned religion into.

Project Google Glass

So in my opinion, these are just badass! They are a pair of glasses from Google that basically act as a visual smart phone. I'm assuming that you most definitely need to put these on your mobile plan. You can make phone calls, real time video calls, take pictures, call and get directions. And that's only a few hing you can do. Not only that they look badass! Just looking at the picture of them you know the future came seriously early. to be honest Its really not that different from a smart phone. It's really just a visual voice activated smart phone that looks really futuristic and cool. But being the kinda guy that appreciates technology....I must have these!

Woman shocks viewers with swinging baby yoga video

Having a few kids of my own its hard to believe that anyone would do this to their baby. This video was taped years ago and was recently released. All "In Russia" jokes aside, some people are just plain fuckin stupid. Baby's do not need yoga. Just because you love yoga doesn't mean you need to make a damn baby yoga. The husband released this video recently, and what I'm wondering is why the hell he didn't take take the baby and run. That woman is an idiot. Also, just because this is on youtube, please don't actually do this crap.

Mummified Child Sacrifice

I came across this picture of what looks to be a frozen little girl. I had to check it out. This remarkably well preserved child is called the “Llullaillaco Maiden”. She was a ritualistic sacrifice for the Inca Empire. Apparently she was chosen among others, one year before her demise. After they were chosen they were fed very well, a ritualistic diet one might say, to help her gain weight. Apparently gods like a little more cushion. She was then drugged and left on a shrine at Volcano Llullaillaco to die from exposure. There she sat for 500 Years undisturbed. I especially love how everything is so well put together. It's amazing how well preserved the little girl is. In the video you can actually see single strands of hair. She looks as if she died a week ago, not 500 years!

Fort Collins police officer arrest man 11/19/2011

So I was surfing around youtube looking at more police brutalities and ended up finding another video of Fort Collins police officers going overboard yet again. In a mistaken identity a man was pepper sprayed, and subdued by a number of officers. I do wonder why they needed so many officers for a man whom wasn't resisting arrest. Yes maybe screaming rather loudly, but not resisting. It's amazing what police officers are aloud to get away with. I know I will always have my cell phone out, and ready to record with any police interaction I may come in contact with. Although it doesn't seem to be brutality it seems very excessive. Let me know your thoughts.

More on officer caught pushing a citizen

The video I posted on Sunday (showing the  24-year-old Matt Hefferon being shoved by officer Dan Calahan, leading to his arrest officer by officer Kyle Bendzsa), has sparked an internal affairs investigation. At the press conference earlier this week Fort Collins Police Chief John Hutto stated that officers had been called to old town Fort Collins at 1:45 a.m. by a pedi-cab taxi operator, who had accused  Matt Hefferon and his friends, Joshua Cullip, and Jarvis Gullatt of damaging his bike.

Matt Hefferon said he and two friends (Joshua Cullip, and Jarvis Gullet) were drinking at the Wall Street bar on Linden Street and decided to take a pedi-cab from Old Town Square to their car. He said they all jumped on the two-seat trike and it flipped, breaking a rear reflector. Hefferon said the officers told him he could either pay for the damage on the spot, or receive a ticket.

Hefferon said he was trying to explain that he wasn't able pay right away because his ATM card wasn't working. Hefferon also said that when Calahan shoved him, in the video, Calahan can be heard telling Hefferon to step back.

"I was in no position to be any threat," Hefferon said. "I wasn't in his face to begin with. As I'm sitting there explaining it to him, not even close to him, he tells me to get back. I step back and fold my arms and stare at him. That's when he punches me in the chest and tells me to get back. They keep telling me I'm resisting arrest."

He added: "I just don't feel like that's the right thing for an officer to do."

Joshua Cullip who had video taped part of the incident after he was given back his ID from the officers, told 7News: “What happened is we asked the guy for a ride, as we were loading up on his bike, it ended up tipping back because we had too much weight on it, and breaking the brackets on his reflector.”

 

 

Heffron is facing charges of criminal mischief and obstructing a peace officer. Cullip was charged with interference and Gullatt was charged with obstructing a peace officer. 

While Police Chief John Hutto said he can’t yet talk publicly about the March 25 incident caught on video, he said he is comfortable with what he called a “pretty remarkably low” level of force being used by his officers. Hutto has launched an internal investigation of the video showing officer Dan Calahan shoving Matt Hefferan, who then was cited for criminal mischief and obstructing in connection with the incident.

“I think our officers are very restrained and use force appropriately,” Hutto said.
Hutto said the video “raises questions” about the interaction between Calahan and Hefferan. But he said the vast majority of interactions between police and the public are peaceful. He said those interactions rarely get attention.

 

The growth of high-quality video recorders is starting to change the way police investigate crimes and complaints.

Several Fort Collins police officers wear mobile recorders to document their interactions with the public in Old Town Fort Collins, and police Chief John Hutto said he is a big fan of having video of police officers interacting with the public because it often helps clear up "he-said, she-said" complaints.

Hutto said it didn't appear the officers recorded in the Saturday incident were wearing video recorders, and called on the public to submit additional video of the incident. "I always welcome video," Hutto said. "I think it helps. It never tells the whole story."
