200th Anniversary of Charles Darwin
The beamishboy is celebrating Darwin's 200th Anniversary. I've borrowed some books from the library on evolution. In the Christian Teen forums that I go to, I notice that most American teenagers do not believe in the truth of evolution. What's become of Americans? What kind of education do they get there?
I just hope that all Christians will put a stop to Creationist lies. I discovered a couple of years ago that they actually circulate FALSE information as facts in order to prove their ridiculous beliefs. I can list some of the lies. But there are Christian websites that are doing this at the moment. They expose the lies of Creationists and they tell the world that you don't have to believe in Creationist lies in order to accept the Christian faith.
Creationists are such an embarrassment to us Christians. I daresay 99% of Creationists live just across the Atlantic. Just what did the Mayflower do to them?

Accession Dinner
Last night was my first small concert for the year. This was at a dinner to celebrate the Queen's Accession. My House Master and I performed with our clarinets. We played Mendelssohn's Konzertstuck (Op 114) for piano and two clarinets. I had a large stocking placed over my exposed toes and cast so even though I used crutches to go on stage, I didn't look too weird. My Master called it a "noble injury" sustained while playing rugby for the school. I like that!!! We went through all three movements smoothly and without a hitch.

Another calamity befalls the beamishboy
When things go bad, they really do. Not only have I to go round on crutches, but I've caught a bad chill. It's all my fault. There was a lot of snow the other day and some of us decided to burrow through a mountain of snow. I may not walk but I sure can burrow. The House Master was furious with us but there's no rule that students are not permitted to burrow in snow.
But I've caught this horrid cold and it's affecting my rehearsal. It's very hard to practise on my clarinet for that solo performance. Particularly tough is Baermann's quintet, especially the 3rd movement which is allegro and has the tendency of making me breathless. My nose runs and it's pretty disgusting if I don't pause to blow my nose. How can one practise an allegro piece if one can't play an entire phrase without stopping?
My House Master told the Concertmaster that I was "totally and utterly irresponsible". But the Concertmaster was more intrigued that I could burrow through the snow with my right foot in a cast and he even asked me to show him where we did the burrowing but my House Master looked so angry that the Concertmaster was compelled to chide me a little. It was quite funny, I thought.
The worry is I CAN'T PLAY THE CLARINET WITH THIS DREADFUL COLD!!!

My injured foot
I now lie in bed nursing an injured foot. I can get around but on crutches. At the last rugby match against ____, I felt a sharp pain on my right foot during a scrum. I must have twisted my foot or some fat bloke must have stepped on it. Everyone felt that the other team must have sent older boys to the match but we are a sport and won't say anything. The pain made it impossible for me to walk normally and I had to be helped out of the pitch.
There was a clear swelling on my right foot and Coach said it was a broken metatarsal. Sure enough the x-ray pictures confirmed that it was a fractured metatarsal. My foot was wrapped up and immobilised in a cast and I've since been moving around on crutches. My Mum sent a nurse to look after me but I sent her away. I can manage on my own quite well; it's a minor injury that we knights are used to. It's not like I'm dying of cancer or something.
My only worry is I'll look a sight on stage. There's a concert and I'm the solo clarinettist. I'll be playing just a movement of a concerto but an ENTIRE quintet. Baermann's with 3 movements. Someone said I'd be the first person to perform on stage with the toes exposed. He meant performers who play classical music. I'm sure rock stars and dancers have exposed more than their toes!

The Knight of Truth Banished from Atheists' Lair
The beamishboy has been banished.
As some of you know, particularly my classmates to whom I've shown the various posts I have placed in an atheist forum, I went to an atheist site a couple of months ago and I posted in various places a defence of religion.
The tide of opposition against me was phenomenal.
1. Everyone dismissed my arguments rudely and without giving counter arguments.
2. Some went into obscenities when abusing me and my parents were targeted.
3. The moderators started out by telling me that I could not post anything with colours and different fonts. I complied with that.
4. Because I complied with (3) above, the moderators could not do anything against me. Nonetheless they conspired and pulled out all my posts and dumped them in an obscure part of the forum and placed a highly objectionable and obscene word in the title of the thread.
5. The moderators stopped me from posting anywhere or answering the points raised by atheists. Any post of mine would automatically be sent to that obscure part of the forum.
Why did the atheists in the forum do all this?
It should be noted from the start that they knew my arguments were sound and mature. Everyone thought I was a grown-up. They were SURE I was an adult from THE INCISIVENESS AND MATURITY of my posts. They said so themselves. But they didn't want to admit to themselves that atheism was wrong. Since they have already accepted that I was right and had to be silenced, it's either I'm silenced or they have to believe in God. They have to avoid God at all costs. That's the obstinacy of corporate atheism.
They wanted me out because I managed to go for the jugular in the usual theist v atheist argument. They wanted me to argue like a fundamentalist and because I didn't, they insisted I was not a Christian. This was despite having told them that I was an altar boy and a choir boy (until late last year when my voice broke) and recently made thurifer in the Church of England.
I've come to this inescapable conclusion - atheism is very much a religion and atheists need a great deal of faith to continue in their non-belief. They defend atheism fiercely and more violently than any Christian might however fundamentalist he might be. This is because an atheist has no real code of ethics. They are answerable to no higher order and they can be highly abusive and unscrupulous in their battle against Christians and other theists.
Atheists in America are always crying foul murder and always claiming that they are persecuted. I read somewhere that atheists are the least trusted people in America. I used to think that fundamentalists were nasty to atheists from what I've been reading in atheistic circles but I understand better now. Christians have every reason to fear atheists - they will do ANYTHING to get what they want and if they want to protect their flock of atheists from roaming into the dreaded realm of religion, they will do anything to stub out religion.
You see, it's so tough for an atheist to remain an atheist. Their humanity is crying out for a belief in God but they persistently refuse to pay heed to their biological needs. Couple that with the total absence of any code of ethics and morality and you have an android with no conscience and no sense of guilt.
I used to do battle against fundamentalists who don't accept evolution, etc. But as St Paul says, ours is not a battle against flesh and blood. We are up against powers and principalities and these are the bane of atheism.
I am not saying all atheists have an agenda against religion. No, there are many good atheists. A person who genuinely doesn't believe in God can be a good person too. But it's when they decide to follow a group (this can be in an organisation or any group) when they have a clear anti-Christ agenda. That's when they are quite fearsome because they aren't bound by any concept of fairplay or morality. Like an army of ants, they will demolish anything, be it tradition, culture, religion and morality. They are formidable because there is no conscience to restrain them.
May God turn the hearts of atheists so that they can live meaningful lives and be trustworthy and accepted in the community.
EDIT: They even encouraged one another to use my email address in dating sites and gay sites even though they knew I'm underage. But the beamishboy welcomes spam cos I can get rid of them so easily. It takes more time for them to register my email in dating and gay sites. It's hilarious. One of the sites asked me to confirm that the "94" in my email was not my year of birth. I wanted to ask him what he thought it was, my age? Hehe.

THE SCOURGE OF ATHEISTS
Howdy folksies and blokesies!!!!!
I recently went into an atheist forum and I argued so well that I upset a whole lot of atheists so much so that I have been officially branded "THE SCOURGE OF ATHEISTS" by the World Council of Atheists. The Atheistic Archbishop of Babylon has issued a ruling that all atheists should not engage the beamishboy in an argument. I have been declared ANATHEMA by the Atheistic Archbishop.
