I Believe

There Is No God by Penn Jillete

I thought that this essay was very interesting.  Penn makes rational arguments for why he doesn't believe that there is a God by saying that he doesn't need one because he has his family, friends, memories, and experiences to guide him in life.  Although I don't necessarily agree with him, I do think that some of this thoughts make sense.  I also feel that Penn is a very appreciative and independent man to believe that there isn't a God.

I Am Evolution by Holly Dunsworth

This essay interested me in many ways.  The theory of evolution intrigues me and has always made me wonder where we have come from.  I also thought it was interesting that she believes evolution, not believe in it, because that requires faith and hope which is separate from simply believing something.  In general, I agree with most of her thoughts on evolution because there is evidence and data to back it up.

Be Cool To The Pizza Delivery Dude by Sarah Adams

I felt that Sarah Adams hid many underlying morals in this essay.  For example, when she explains how being cool to the pizza dude is good practice in equality, she is describing how everyone has been in the position of the "pizza man" before, and that we should all respect that phase of life since all of us have been there at one time or another.  I agree with her statements and I feel as though we should all be cool to the pizza dude because of the reasons she talks about.  Overall, I enjoyed reading this essay.
