Trying to carry on a logical conversation with people who lack any sense of reasoning makes me grrrr! I was backstage at a performance of the Nutcracker my ballet school is putting on, and happened to be reading "Why Evolution is True" by Jerry Coyne. A couple of the young ladies also backstage noticed it and asked me if I believed evolution... when I answered affirmatively, they took it upon themselves to witness to me. Okay, I can understand that... I used to do the same. But when they told me I would go to hell if I didn't repent of my sins, I asked them why they didn't fear a Muslim hell, or a Buddhist afterlife... and their answer was "Because Jesus is God, and Buddha is fat!" Gah, so many things in that short convo I could rant at length on, but suffice it to say I'm immensely pissed off that people can come across as so holier-than-thou while being so ignorant.
The UK's famous inability to deal with snow meaning the karate social is off tonight, and my journey home to York tomorrow probably wont be particularly easy.
