Moore Links & Religious Rants 

Hey, I've added some new links to the top of the page. I decided to link to Moorewatch.com, Michael Moore Hates America, and Bowling for Truth. In case you haven't figured it out, I don't like Michael Moore. I haven't actually seen "Bowling for Columbine" (I accidentally typed "Blowing for Columbine" a second ago; that's not right), but I know enough about it from "Bowling for Truth" that I can see how much of an idiot this man is. I mentioned earlier that I have seen "Roger and Me" (my Sociology professor showed it), and although MM seems to be telling the truth about GM, he does lie to get into a press conference, and he tries to illegally interview Roger Smith several times. Also, he's really annoying. In any case, his Oscar "acceptance speech" is enough to deserve sites like this to be dedicated to him, so I'm linking them. By the way, if you go to these, you'll find that Moore actually didn't create a documentary, so the Oscar should be revoked. I'm pretty sure there's a page where you can sign a petition asking the Academy to take it away. I put my name on it, and you should too. Enjoy the links. Also, I happened to stumble across a Baptist site a little while ago calling Hugh Ross a heretic (it wasn't Landover Baptist or anything; this one was real). I won't get too far into my specific religious beliefs (you already know I'm a Christian), but I will say that young-earth creationism is one of the main reasons there are so many atheists in the scientific community. If you can't accept that the universe is really old, how can you accept any other scientific findings? The fact that only young-earth believers are finding evidence that the planet is 6,000 years old should tell you that they have an agenda. Everyone else, including many Christians, realizes that science, in this case, is telling the truth. You see, there's this thing called the Hubble Space Telescope...anyway, Hugh Ross is one of the most intelligent Christians in the history of Christianity, and I hate it when these narrow-minded YEC's try to anti-intellectualize the Bible. When the Big-Bang was proposed as the origin of the universe, atheists rejected it because it implied a Creator. I don't understand why these people won't embrace the truth. The only reason they think the Bible says the earth and stars were created at the exact same time is because it was interpreted that way until astronomers discovered otherwise. People used to think the Bible said the planet was flat, but now we know it describes a spherical world. I'm pretty sure there's a reference to "the circle of the earth" in there somewhere, but I haven't read the entire Bible...yet. Again, I'm sorry if you don't really care that much about religious issues, but this stuff bothers me. It's hard enough being a Christian in the 21st century without people spreading foolishness and passing it off as the truth. On another note, if you think it's weird that I consider myself a Christian while reviewing Nickelback CD's and talking about how we should skin Saddam Hussein alive, I understand. You may not agree with my worldview, but if I'm wrong, I'll find out soon enough. I may post more "proper" religious writings in the future to clarify some of my views, so keep checking. And, if you just happen to be a young-earth creationist, I advise you to check out Reasons.org and Godandscience.org. In fact, everyone should see these sites. As I parenthetically noted before, I would probably be an agnostic if I hadn't found these sites. Rich Deem and Hugh Ross are pretty much responsible for the fact that I'm still a Christian today, and if you're not at least somewhat convinced after reading their sites that Jesus Christ is/was/will always be God, then you're doing something that my Philosophy professor taught us is called "cognitive dissonance," where you deny what's obviously true so you can keep doing something you know is detrimental to your well-being. I've been typing for way too long, so I'm proably going to stop. I still have a lot of work to do tonight. Remember, always keep an open mind, but don't open it so much that your brain escapes. That's how liberals are created.
