So let’s start at the beginning…

This morning I went to Home Depot and bought an electric Black & Decker 18″ lawn mower, from the reviews I read it’s suppose to be pretty good and I need a lawn mower pretty bad as my lawn is getting long! Also picked up a few gardening accessories (my personal hell lol!) and the deweeder tool I picked up is so much easier than using a hand held spade to remove the dandelions.

At around 11AM, I had a family of religious people come pay me a visit and boy did I have fun (I’m not sure what specific faith they adhere to but it’s one of the many Christian versions). 😀 They first asked me if I were religious to which I reply “No, I believe in empirical evidence”, then the husband talks about god and how if I stumbled upon a house that there must have been someone who created it and tried to relate it to god… I told he did his speach that while I’m not opposed to the idea of a god existing, I do not believe it would be a “human” god. I told him that “frankly worshiping someone (who allegedly existed) 2000 years ago or whatever seems silly and that if the answer to things is ‘god did it’, what’s the point of creating an enlightened society”.

His next argument was that just like Brandon should respect me, I should respect and pay homage to god for all the wonderful thing it does for me and my rebuttal was that I don’t understand why such an all powerful being would create a world inhabited by people only to have those little beings worship it. LOL I don’t think they liked it when I said to me “it seems odd that god would have an inferiority complex”. I also mentioned that if this were so, why would god allow all these horrible things to happen in its name? If it gave us free will, why would I be punished for not believing?

At this point the wife chimed in talking about the after life and how I need to accept god in order to prosper after I die so I mentioned that as long as I live my life like a good and just person, I don’t understand why wouldn’t I be welcomed in the kingdom of heaven? Just because I don’t believe, I’m damned for eternity? What type of loving god is that, you can do what you want as long as what you want it is “its” way… Note I removed “he” from the reference because I don’t understand why god would be a guy or girl…

LOL you can always tell you’re “winning” when these people change the topic and to be fair the missionaries (I don’t know what else to call them) weren’t pushy and were very respectful. Despite the quotes I picked out, I was nice about things too. These people genuinely believe in what they’re talking about and took time out of their lives to try to “help others” and even if I don’t believe in it, I have no right to be an asshole about things.

I was a bit disappointed when the husband and wife started to pack up and leave (they were at my door with their material), usually it’s the other way around. I told Maggie I hope more religious people come to my door as I enjoy talking to them about their faith. 😀

In the afternoon Jason, Jessie, Logan and Mario came over to see our new house and it was great. I always enjoy having friends over and I was dying to show them my new place, it’s something Maggie and I worked hard on and am proud to show to others. For the first time too, Logan and Brandon were actually playing together! They were a bit tentative of each other at first (understandable) however later on they really opened up and it was so cute.

Near the end of dinner, Brandon and Logan were chasing each other laughing (B was laughing louder) and it was absolutely awesome. I wish I caught it on camera but yeah it was very funny to watch the two kids interact.

Mario, Jason and I snuck out after dinner and Mario painted my Ops-Core helmet, I was missing green so I may redo the paint job but overall I think he did a good job.

Now that the helmet has been painted I may redo it myself, I was just too chickenshit to do it previously myself. 😉 I also go to see Jason’s real LBT 6094 and it’s freaking nice… I think I’ll have to get one soon too, it just seems wrong to be playing airsoft with all the nice stuff I have and a fake vest. In any case I’ll do it later when Maggie isn’t paying attention. 😀

The boys later ripped on Mario for being a wuss for not asking a girl he’s interested out and that’s always fun right. 😉 Haha reminded me of when I was a teenager, I could have sworn I had these types of conversations before…

After Jason, Jessie & Logan left I drove Mario home. Figure if he took transit it’d take him 2 hours to get home instead of it being a 25 minute drive. Good thing I did too because it got wet really fast! All in all a great day, too bad it had to end…
