Yet another shooting

Hadiya Pendleton, 15,  sang at President Obamas inauguration last week, and this week has been shot and killed. No one thinks that she was the target, and no one knows who the shooter is. Also a friend, who was 16, was injured. This will, no doubt, be used in the fight to enforce and create laws against guns. To read more about Hadiya, click here.

Christianity attack!

Joel Is an author, who is very, VERY against Christianity. He wrote a response to a book titled "Ten Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe" which was written by a pastor, In which Joel attacks Christianity with ten points.

1. A mistranslated book written by cave people is a reliable guide to the modern world.
2. There’s an invisible man in the sky who likes to watch you while you’re showering.
3. Two thousand years ago, an alter ego of this invisible man knocked up a Jewess whose husband wasn’t satisfying her.
4. The progeny of this drunken coupling was both god and the son of god.
5. This son of god was killed (but not really, since he’s also god, and god can’t die) and then came back to life to seek revenge, just like J.D. Walker.
6. His killing was a necessary sacrifice in order that we might be forgiven for the sins of Eve, the first woman in the world, who lived 6000 years ago in a magical garden, where a talking snake convinced her to eat a forbidden apple.
7. To show our thanks for this sacrifice, we should put special crackers and wine in our mouths, where they will be magically transformed into his flesh and blood, which we should then swallow despite taboos regarding cannibalism.
8. If you don’t believe all the preceding items, then after you die you will be plunged into a lake of fire and tortured for all eternity.
9. If you do believe all the preceding items, then after you die you’ll get to go to heaven, which is a cloud in outer space connected to the earth with a dotted line bent into a heart-shape
10. Thomas Kinkade is an awesome painter

 He attempts to prove Christianity wrong with comedy, and there are a lot of people who probably think he accomplished something. However, he has twisted Biblical stories just ask satan does. For example, number 7, which talks about communion, is just plain creepy. Its twisting the beautiful gift of remembering God's promise of forgiveness into something creepy, cannibalism.  This is just one example of Joel twisting the beauty of Christianity.

Obama 08-16

After a hard election season, Obama has won. He will continue to be the President of America for the next four years. For any in despair over this news, think of it like this: Obama will never be able to run again after this term. For those rejoicing in this fact, good for you!

We'll have to wait and see what the next four years have in store for us.

Hurricane Sandy has left many families completely devastated. In many places, around 6 feet of sand and mud covered the  land.

VOTING TIME

Alright People, time to go vote! Remember to follow your conscience. Also, remember that not voting is one less vote for the person you want most to win, and one MORE vote for the candidate that you like least! So go out to your designated voting area and become part of history!

prep for the presidential debate

Many people probably assume that Obama and Romney Pick out their suits, and eat a nice dinner before getting up to the podium for a debate. Well, they're wrong. Their suits and ties are picked out long before hand, their food is chosen, and even their wife's clothes are picked out. They go through mock debates with different people, and Romney was even coached on how to sit on his stool. Months and months of hard work practicing and running debates are what make these battles happen.
