religion.... it's so aggravating.  aggravating to see these people trying to ban evolution and reinstute prayer in schools.  these people believe we are in the middle of an epic struggle between good and evil.  that homosexuals are satan incarnate.  it makes me so angry that not only are these people everywhere making as much noise as they can but the continually grab headlines in the news. ay.... it's exasperating.  i was the kid in the prayer circle before football games looking around at everyone.  feeling a bit disgusted that the coaches were so arrogant they stepped in and led the prayers without even seeming a bit worried that what they were doing was wrong.  i'm the kid that felt strange when we said "under god" everying morning in the pledge of allegience kindergarten through 6th grade.  i wondered what it really meant to have that in the pledge long before i rejected religion.  i remember feeling powerless and angry when my 9th grade biology teacher said he would not teach evolution because it was too controversial.  the reality of evolution should not have been a debate in my life.  i should not have spent hours researching online to see if my biology teacher was right, it is very controversial.  in the prayer circles before football games i declined to protest because it wasn't a big deal for me.  i knew what i believed and that their prayers didn't affect me.  i did it many other times during my life.  that shouldn't be the case for anyone.
