Religion seems to have a way of making people abandon logic." -Amanda Baxter

Religion is a touchy subject for a lot of people. I don't care what people believe in and I don't judge them based on what they believe so why is it so hard for people to not judge me and call me an idiot b/c I don't believe in a "higher power?" I've never told anyone they're an idiot for what they believe and I expect the same respect but b/c I'm an atheist, I get shunned. It amazes me that when I meet someone and we get along great they instantly hate me b/c of my views on religion. I don't hide being an atheist, and I don't talk about it. I'm not a fan of religion so I avoid talking about it. Besides, I'm a nice person (until you've pissed me off....) and being an atheist doesn't make me a dickhead, an idiot, a soulless creature, an asshole, a bitch (don't get me wrong, at times, I am a bitch but being an atheist didn't make me that way), and ignorant. I don't call anyone any of those because they believe in something they've never seen. I personally think that's insane but I'm not going to tell someone just b/c they believe in something they're insane. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. EVERYONE. Not just people who believe in a higher power. So please, don't judge me based on my views of religion, judge me based off how I act towards you. If you keep telling me I'm wrong in my views, I'll be sure to become the dickhead, soulless creature, asshole, bitch you've been calling me.

Besides, South Park has spread the truth on which religion is "right." The Mormons, they got it right. So either become a Mormon or stfu!

I need to try new foods!!

I'm thinking I might need an intervention, I've become way too addicted to my crock pot and get way too excited when I get to cook dinner with it! Haha. I'd like to think it's helping me learn how to cook but really it's doing all the work for me after I throw everything into it. I need more recipes that possibly doesn't involve the crock pot. Anyone want to share some yummy ones with me? I'm a very, very, VERY picky eater (worse than a 2 year old) so if you share a recipe with me please don't get offended if I pass on it or if I decide to make it but take out somethings b/c I don't like it like onions. And if it doesn't involve chicken, that would be great. As much as I could eat chicken every day for the rest of my life, Joe is getting quite tired of it. I've been trying very hard to find new recipes but either they don't seem appitizing or they involve chicken. Haha. If anyone is willing to share a yummy recipe with me I would love you forever. =)
