Religion and Glee

Glee is just a good show. It confronts some gay stuff. I already talked about that. Yeah.

About religion, today I went to my confirmation retreat. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it, and as always, it causes me to think about my beliefs. I'm usually doubtful, but it made me doubtful of my doubt. We did something called guided meditation, and it was quite.... real. All I want to say is to never definitively say "There ain't no God!" and always doubt your doubt. Also, question your belief IN God too!

Young love

As a response to Krish....

I do believe in young love. Why not, right? As soon as you develop emotionally and mature enough, I don't see why not. I'm skeptical as to anyone who claims to be in love at a young age, but that's because you have to admit it is uncommon. There really isn't much to say unless someone comes up with an argument saying it isn't true. But no adults will read this, and kids usually don't think it's not real.....

And back to homosexuality. It is quite puzzling. I think it was nurture to some degree, because it obviously can't all be genetic (twin studies!). But... if you had to have, say, an arm removed at a young age because your mother beat you, does that mean it's your fault? No, in fact, most people would blame the mother. Now, I don't think we should go blame mothers bringing their children to Broadway (JK, just throwing in some stereotype humor) for making their little boy gay. There's no one to blame, because you can't blame a baby, and you can't blame a mom when there are no official guidelines saying: How NOT to make your baby gay. Wouldn't that be handy?

And again in response with Krish, even more argument against it being evolution: Evolution doesn't have a mind of its own. It can't say, WOAH, TOO MUCH POPULATION THERE, and cause gay people. It works so whatever makes the most babies sticks. Gayness should not spread if it's genetic, so obviously it's some dormant thing that becomes awakened by some......... idk. stuff.

"This isn't how I imagined it, chaps," said War. "I haven't been waiting for thousands of years just to fiddle around with bits of wire. It's not what you'd call dramatic. Albrecht Duerer didn't waste his time doing woodcuts of the Four Button-Pressers of the Apocalypse, I do know that."

~Good Omens

How do you picture the Apocalypse?

Quiero comida

Man, am I hungry. That is some serious insight right there. And no, I cannot just go and get food right now. Something's most certainly "up," because we haven't had any snacks or extra food for like a week now.

Talk.

Eh. What is there to talk about. Here's something I enjoyed:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrobang
try the other unused typography articles. I thought they were all pretty flammy.

Umm, how about............ love? Ew. Well, maybe.

What is love (OOOooOOOOooOOOWWWOOOWOOOOH!)? I most certainly do not know! Some people says it's something that developed while we were evolving, so that there would always be a lust that would have couples make babies and other people to want to be a couple (therefore make babies. You catch my drift?). I don't think so, necessarily. You have to realize how extremely well evolution has played out. I mean, you mean to say that bacteria slowly got bigger, and then had countless defects that became popular due to evolution, and then eventually became us? That's some pretty crazy shiz going on there. Not saying it isn't true (I do believe it is), but it makes you wonder... Something must've intervened. or no? In science class this year, we learned the countless improbabilities that allow life to occur. Hey, the universe is pretty big, it was bound to happen somewhere. So yeah. Somehow that subject changed. So, LOVE. it's this thing... And so the whole GAY thing. That's a pretty widespread defect, dontcha think? perhaps it's a side-affect of love as a part of our genetic make-up, that homosexuality is possible. And it's not stomped out, because love is one of the major reasons the human race can keep going. I mean, nowadays, we don't need love... and think about how many people don't love at all? So. Today's conclusion is that in evolution we got pretty lucky (btw, have you ever realized how many THINGS go on in your body without you even knowing it?), and that maybe homosexuals are just a defect. DEFECT DOESN'T=BAD. Well.... maybe it does. But think about how many things we have today that make that defect totally disregardable. ALRIGHT I'M DONE.

' "Alright," said the computer and settled into silence again. The two men fidgeted. The tension was unbearable.

"You're really not going to like it," observed Deep Thought.

"Tell us!"

"Alright," said Deep Thought. "The Answer to the Great Question ..."

"Yes ...!"

"Of Life, the Universe and Everything ..." said Deep Thought.

"Yes ...!"

"Is ..." said Deep Thought, and paused.

"Yes ...!"

"Is ..."

"Yes ...!!!...?"

"Forty-two," said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.'

Quotes for thought ~

"This planet has — or rather had — a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy."

"Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans."

' "Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so."
"Very deep," said Arthur, "you should send that in to the Reader's Digest. They've got a page for people like you." '

"Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindboggingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. The argument goes something like this:
`I refuse to prove that I exist, says God, `for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.'
`But,' says Man, `The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.'
`Oh dear,' says God, `I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly vanished in a puff of logic."

And now for something completely different:

"The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't."

Where do you think they're from? READ THE BOOK

Eh. No one's gonna' read this.

Hey. How you doing? Badly? Why? You don't know? Well, why don't you start feeling good? You don't know? Well, goshdarnit I can't do much for ya'.

Hi. yeah. This is real now... So, some of you guys have been getting blogs and what not, and some have gone into philosophy. I think we need to step out of the cliches for a sec and look at the real stuff that we might be able to answer or live our lives by. If I was constantly living like there was no tomorrow, then I wouldn't be in school. I'd have multiple bruises from the people I told off. There would be some positives... but guess what, if there is a tomorrow, then those positives quickly turn to negatives. That's why I hate that whole saying.

[Ya' know what. I'm taking it all out.]

An Excerpt

"Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea..."

~The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Ya' ever think about it that way?
