So I need to take "The Examined Life" as a philosophy course and "The Islamic Tradition" as a religion course as two graduation requirements. Sadly, I'm attending a Catholic university, Saint Xavier Universtiy in Chicago, IL.

I already tried to stick it to my theistic parents by taking Islam instead of Christianity while going to a Christian school. (My mom is one of those crazy fundies btw...)

I already figure that I'm going to get kicked out of my classes a couple times for arguing with my professors, but I was wondering if you guys could try to give me some extra firepower to really shock them. Sadly, I'm not the best debater in person. I don't know what it is, but I always seem to argue better with the keyboard...

I know of a great deal of reasons and explanations as to why god is imaginary and why prayer is a complete myth and why religion is just a system that is inherently violent and corrupt and evil, but maybe some extra 'oomph' would strengthen my arguments.

I could possibly even post some assignments or essay requirements on here and let you guys help me to structure very well-thought out rebuttals or essays or what-have-you...

I'm only asking because I know you guys will be more than happy to help because everyone on this board or anyone affiliated with RRS just rocks.
I love you guys!

On a side note, I'm an Environmental Biology major and a Chemistry minor going to a Christian university, anyone else see the paradox there? I need to learn about evolution and natural selection and all the other aspects of nature from people that believe women miracously grew from a rib? Hmmm...

What I don't get is how they feel that a whole woman can just grow from a rib bone, but "the human eye can't come out of the mud." lol

Garh I really hate irreducible complexity, fucking idiots...
