Believers in the invisible, but not of the observable

It cracks me up to hear people whom are certain of God's existence claim that global warming is a hoax. The following two scenarios will better illustrate just how I see such individuals.

Experiment #1

Scientist Mike Theory: "So, you don't believe in global warming, correct?"

Donald Dump: "Of course not! It's nothing but a hoax!"

Theory: "So why are the polar ice caps melting then?"

Dump: "It's all part of God's plan apparently."

Theory: ::takes an ice cube out of a freezer and places it on a table:: "Do you see this ice cube?"

Dump: "Yes..."

Theory: "I just took it out of the freezer. Notice how it's getting smaller?"

Dump: "Yes..."

Theory: "Why is that do you think?"

Dump: "Because it's warmer in here than in the freezer! Duh!"

Theory: "Very good. So, take that knowledge and apply it to what we talked about earlier. Why are the polar ice caps melting again? Because it's getting w...a...r..."

Dump: "It's part of God's plan."

Theory: "Ugh. I give up."


Experiment #2

Scientist Mike Theory: "You're a big believer in God, is that correct?"

Donald Dump: "Yes, of course."

Theory: "Could you point him out to me please?"

Dump: "Oh, he's all around us."

Theory: "Okay, show me."

Dump: "You can't see him?"

Theory: "I'm asking you to point him out to me."

Dump: "Just look around you. He's everywhere."

Theory: "I see a table, a couple of chairs, some pencils, books, and a few other things. What does God look like, so I know how to spot him?"

Dump: "I don't know. I think he's white and has a beard."

Theory: "You don't know? I thought you said you could see him and he was all around us. If that's true, then how can you not know what he looks like?"

Dump: "I said he's white with a beard!

Theory: "So, he looks kind of like Santa Claus?"

Dump: "No, God's beard never goes white!"

Theory: "So, perhaps more like Zach Galifianakis then?"

Dump: "Who?"

Theory: "Nevermind. Well, I hate to tell you this, but I don't see a white man with a beard in here, do you?"

Dump: "That's because you're not looking!"

Theory: "We're the only two people in here..."

Dump: "...and God..."

Theory: "Jesus..."

Dump: "He's here too."

Theory: "Where?"

Dump: "Everywhere"

Theory: ::sighs:: "I'm afraid we'll have to end this experiment now, so I can go out and have myself a drink. Have a nice life..."

Dump: "And after-life!"

Theory: "Sure..."

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
