Realisations, 1,2,3.?

"You use punctuation waaaay too much .?#*&&#$@??" - David

1.Religious (Read: Catholic) debate in my head
2.Gradelove, what?

1a.God is either flawed, or incomplete, if we take it from whatever sources we have (eg. Bible)

There are few sources, and what there are, they were produced by humans. Humans are flawed. Thus, either God, if it is a creation of humans, is flawed, or the accounts of his miraculous powers are flawed/incomplete/half-burned. Same with Jesus, but then again, this is also true of any history, I suppose


1b. God is on par with homosexuals, if you want to go into that debate. Quite an injustice really.

For those "minority groups" who believe that homosexuality is "unnatural" and that the "Bible says it's bad", think about this. (Or tell them this.) The most famous story in the Bible is about Jesus' birth. Now, being an atheist, I could be wrong about some minor detail or another, but God essentially tells Mary that she's gonna give birth to a super-man-thing. Joseph, her husband, hasn't touched her yet. However, in some unknown amount of time (to me anyway), she does give birth to this super-man-thing-alchemist-priest-healer without so much as reproduction. So either Joseph has been doing something the Bible didn't document (unlikely), or God has been reproducing by spores and/or magic laser beams. Oh, right. Jesus is explicitly stated to be "God's son". Something or other. Right. Which means God is unnatural, and by the viewpoint of these extremists, should be burned at the stake and whatever, by "God's will", etc. etc. Then again....If God is "otherworldly" then, he can't be "natural" but...He did make stuff "in his image" therefore, by extension if a man and a woman love each other veeery much and.....go out for some "cake" then God must be "natural", which he isn't.

1c. Heaven doesn't exist (Provided by Christine)

Okay, say a girl loves some guy and/or girl very much, they mean to world to said person, etc, and then suddenly die, skipping the Game and going straight to "Heaven", and the other person/s is/are still alive, then, you have 2 scenarios

a. The loved one isn't in heaven with them, cause they're still alive
b. The loved one is replicated and put into the heaven

Take your pick.

Route A means that it's not truly "heaven" for that person, and because, the Bible and all that promotes love between a man and a woman and all that, you can't have someone who won't have that special one. Route B means that you have a fake.

Take your pick.

Anyway, something I thought of when I woke up today and didn't feel like getting up.

2.I don't care who is doing it, it's quite a neat idea, and they're fairly brave. Besides, it's working.

Hoping I'm not terribly wrong, and/or I am wrong and/or you correct me, so that we have talk it over/duke it out with fists over some tea/in an arena.

Wishy washy, and still with strong opinions.

"So when someone like me comes along and throws down a glove...." - Chris (Tine)

There's a lot going through my mind, but when I try to get something to type down, nothing comes. So, it's probably the same as always, except that people printed their speech in its entirety in small font, which is fairly counter-intuitive, because you'd have to read it to know where you're up to, unless you're well-prepared, hence you don't need the whole thing on paper.

Anyway.

Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst.

Speeeeeeeeeeeeeech.

"I'm glad I can actually write about this person, because they're not in my class."

1.Speech
2.Science
3.Math Non-calc
4.Geo
5.Yearlies

I think that's the order. And my speech is probably really boring, but I'm just glad I have something to write about, really. Oh, and I'm gonna hand-write my palm cards a few times tomorrow. Just so I can have a "back-up" or a "better" set, just in case. Plus, I like writing down stuff on tiny bits of paper.

Hoping no-one fails, or misses out, or doesn't finish in time, etc.

Speech

"So early!"

If you're going to type up your palm cards, I'd suggest 3-4 columns instead of just 2, so that they fit into your hand, instead of flopping out everywhere. Remember, you still need to gesture once in a while.

Think of it like you're talking to someone. And not a whole bunch of unresponsive nobodies.

In any other case, it's just another Saturday. Time to finish the science and geography, I suppose.

Hoping it doesn't rain for the next week. At least, not where I am.

Adverse reactions.

"Just like anaphylaxis!"

1.It's more embarrassing than offensive.
2.There's long pork on the menu. Maybe not, but something close to it. Grilling, frying, take your pick.
3.Help stop this monstrosity! All you have to do is put down your name for nothing.

So do help.

Hoping you listen.

It's thursday already?!

"Well...a little per day?"

So there's a speech to practice, and I should get started. But first a few things.

1. 20/20 for Engineering report. Yay.
2. Chem Quiz HD. Yay.

My room is so messy, but it doesn't really matter, anyway.

So, math Non-calc + Science + Geo + English. Fun!

Hoping I don't fail any of it.

Another fairly lazy wednesday.

"56 sugar cubes."

So we get to school the normal way, by bus, and then upon arriving at school, I get a fist shaken in my face. Which is pretty explanatory, but they don't really wanna kill me or anything. So it's fine, I suppose.

Though, I do hope that I can go to one event or another. Sigh.

For engineering...who doesn't think that a penguin is the way to go?

Also, for the english speech. I've heard that people don't like how open it is...but the whole point is to give people the freedom to convince the audience on anything. Which can't be too hard right?

Hoping I can finish it on time.

If you could have the any power, what would it be?

"Emotions?"

Another day, quite boring. Almost went to Parramatta, wrong bus, etc. etc. Still, I ended up in Epping cause I caught the other one. Just goes to show you still have to pay attention.


Special things happen to special people. Oh, and realism, yada yada yada. Etc. Although...well, nothing really much to say, except that I think I might get jealous quite easily. We'll see.

Hoping for a reverse.

Not such a happy day. Or a Glory Day.

"1,2,3..."

1.Left jacket at school. Bad. Angry.
2.Stephen Hawking's shiny new book.

1.I'm not quite angry because I won't ever see it again, per se, it's just the fact of losing something for a little while. Doesn't quite make sense, but then again, sometimes the smallest details make me angry. Then I realise I've overreacted.

2.New book. God =/= Nothing, in his words. Which is just another view, but I don't see how people can degrade him just because he's made a valid statement, backed up with testing with our (humanity's) limited scope of knowledge. The way I see it..Science = based on observations, tests and experiments, not quite complete, but the best we have to "truth". Faith = explain anything which can't be explained as of yet, which leads to massive problems if tried to be applied to real world on a small scale. Larger scale, fine. By small scale, I mean, divorces, illness, criminals, etc. I have no doubt that the ass who said something along the lines of "Oh, he doesn't have faith, no wonder he's so sick" would no doubt sign up for some "life saving" surgery/medication, if backed into the corner. I don't think they'd be saying the same thing if their son/daughter(s) were born with one defect or another.

Probably irrationally angry. Again. No, I can't calm down, as of yet.

Hoping for the day when people would stop being so hypocritical and shocked when they are challenged.

Essay essay essay?

"Just don't "try""

Essay to finish, so limited time for posting, etc. etc. I'm sure you understand.

Hoping it gets a good mark.
