Religion

Oh no! This is a serious post! Plus, it'll probably get a lot of people angry! OH NO!

Anyway, I have a question for Christians. How is it possibly for you to believe in God but not believe in the Big Bang Theory?

Think about it, you shun the Big Bang Theory because its "impossible" for a giant explosion to come from nowhere at all and create the whole universe. But then you turn right around and worship God, who came from absolutely nowhere and created the whole universe! Not to mention you say it happened in seven days! Both ideas are practically the same thing, but you believe one and don't believe the other. I just don't get how that is possible!

Whenever I bring this up to one of my friends that is Christian or Catholic or whatever, they say they have no idea what I'm talking about. So, if you are religious, please answer my question in the comments. I just want to know what goes through your heads that makes you think that God is possible but the Big Bang Theory isn't.

Hipster (Continued)

As I sat at school today, I started to think about my "Hipster" blog post that I posted yesterday. I'm still trying to find out what I really think of hipsters. As I thought about them, I realized something about their conformity, even though they preach nonconformity.

If you read the definition I posted of what a hipster is, then you know that they are against the mainstream and try to be extremely different and cool in a different way and things like that. They also hate conformity, which is what they think that everyone else in the world is doing. They think that all the people in the world that are mainstream are conformists. But if you think about it, hipsters are the conformists in the matter. They make their own group and anyone who doesn't do certain things or like certain things isn't allowed to be a hipster. The whole thing is exactly like South Park.

If you watch South Park a lot, you know the emo characters. They are probably my favorite characters on the show. Most of what makes them so funny is that they do exactly what hipsters do. The characters in the show hang around doing different things like drinking coffee (they're fourth graders) and smoking. Whenever "regular" kids are mentioned they start calling them conformists. But then when kids try to join the emo group, they tell them that to be an emo you have to do this and that (drink coffee, smoke, wear black). South Park is hilarious.

Anyway, hipsters are cool but at the same time they are hypocrites. I don't know if I'm a hipster, but I suppose its for others to decide. I do what most hipsters do. Maybe I could just be an "indie kid" instead. It sounds good enough.

Also, this week at my school is spirit week, and today was "Wacky Wednesday" or something like that. Right away I noticed that everyone was dressed like they were hipsters. Just in case you're wondering what hipsters look like, check out the Tumblr page I mentioned in an earlier post. Here it is: http://lookatthisfuckinghipster.tumblr.com/
