Hmm. This is new. Sort of a blog, except...no, wait, it is a blog. I have never maintained a blog before, so bear with me, my ignorance. If I write about something, it may very well be a story from my day or recent past. Names and locations will, of course, be changed for privacy's sake. That is my disclaimer, now I may start with the contents.

I may as well start with a story. Here's one: As a student, I attended various types of classes with various combinations of people. One such combination happened to contain three of my closest friends, whom I shall refer to as Larry, Moe and Curly, and a physics teacher. Before I get into the story too deeply, I shall elaborate on the religions of the people involved, as it becomes important: Larry is a Mormon, Moe is Agnostic, Curly is some type of Christian, I am a Catholic, and the teacher is an Atheist. I was asking Larry about his religion, as we so often encounter controversy in the beloved Physics B class of 2010, and how in the Hell Jesus made it over the Atlantic to North America.
This was a topic of much intrigue, and we came upon many theories. Jesus may have just walked, or He could have produced jet packs out of thin air and flown, or He could have thrown us all for a loop and gone by way of hot air balloon across Asia. As the debate became more and more engaged, the teacher became increasingly perturbed. How dare these students openly discuss their religion in a public school! She then entered the conversation, basically arguing that all of our dribble was a bunch of baloney, and had nothing to do with anything.
It was at the climax of the debate where finally Curly, who had remained silent throughout the whole ordeal, spoke up in a loud voice, "Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and He can do whatever the ******** he wants!"
This shut the teacher right up.
