    The question of God’s existence may seem irrelevant, unimportant or unanswerable. I believe He exists. I could attempt to prove that existence with rationalizations, scientific evidence or examples of miracles you may or may not believe. The problem is if you don’t care, it does not matter how well I argue the point anyway.

  • My battle against a blinking cursor

    By November 13, 2011

    You pump yourself up, telling yourself you are going to crush this paper. This paper is going to be your bitch. You are confident, self-assured. You can do this! You are an intelligent university student, after all.

    But when the time comes, when you sit down in front of your computer to make the magic happen — nothing.

  • The trouble with angry atheists: fighting for freedom, or just plain fighting?

    By November 12, 2011

    Every day our Western world becomes more secular. Every Canadian faith is seeing a decline in worship service attendance — save for evangelical Christians. And according to StatsCanada over half of us age 15 to 29 either don’t have a religion or never attend worship services.

    These trends are welcomed by atheists who feel that faith necessitates intolerance and oppression of non-believers. But there’s an irony among many members of this “free-thought” movement.

  • Why it’s cool to live with your parents

    By November 12, 2011

    All right, I’ll admit it. I live with my parents.

    Many students, upon hearing this, will look at you as though you are a poor excuse of a student and pathetic for taking advantage of the free rent and food offered by loving parents. Living with one’s parents has its pros and cons but right now the pros far outweigh the cons. Until that changes, my parents’ crib is where I’ll be staying.

  • The importance of Remembrance Day

    By November 11, 2011

    War has a rich and varied history within the realm of human existence. It has existed for millennia, touching every generation and will probably continue for a few more. While I may not live in a country torn apart by war I am saddened by the fact I will never truly see peace in my lifetime.

  • Two spaces after a period is wrong, so cut that shit out

    By November 6, 2011

    There are two kinds of people on this planet: those who type a single space after the end of their sentences, and those who stupidly, inexplicably and unforgivably double-space after the period.

    I’m not entirely sure where people pick up this quirk, but I suspect it has to do with grade school teachers who themselves learned to type on typewriters, passing their bad habits on to impressionable students. And once learned, the double-spacers seemingly refuse to unlearn this lesson.

  • Don’t kill your inner child just yet

    By November 5, 2011

    University is undoubtedly stressful. Between midterms, essays and final exams, it may seem like the only free time left is reserved for losing your mind.

    The business and formality of university makes me long for the simpler days of elementary school, where proficiency in finger painting made you a cool kid and you could run free on the playground during recess.

  • Occupy Saskatoon protesters ignore the benefits of a capitalist system

    By November 4, 2011

    Welcome to the circus boys and girls! The tent is downtown and the main attractions are your neighbours and friends. The banner they operate under is the Occupy movement and right now we’re being taken for a ride, so lean back and eat some popcorn — this is going to be fun.
