"Inspired by True Events on Movie Screens..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

I have a headache and I can see no quantifiable reason for my existence. /whiny

Also, everybody in my sosh discussion group is picking on me because I'm the only Christian. And while Christians as a whole probably do deserve to be picked on, considering how often we've made every other group on earth our punching bag, I am still feeling definite emotions of WHY ME JUST STOP IT. I am SORRY. It's not like I've been proselytising at anyone! I wouldn't even have mentioned it except our discussion questions included one about whether religion helped you cope with death! I AM SORRY QUIT TELLING ME HOW CHRISTIANITY IS FOR WEAK PEOPLE WHO NEED SOMETHING TO GRASP AT THAT WILL CONVINCE THEM THEIR LIVES ARE NOT UTTERLY MEANINGLESS END CAPSLOCK argh.

Also I can't figure out stoichiometry. Also I haven't had breakfast.

Also I'm just feeling rushed and depressed because of the season, so I'm overreacting to things as a matter of course. This is usual, but no less irritating.

My brother likes arguing with atheists, but I tend to get quiet and feel like a shit instead of defending myself, and then later (alone) be like "wtf, it's not my fault some Christians are asshats."

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Yeahh. I tried to defend myself, and then I just got tired of it because they were so obviously not going to defend themselves. And I mentioned that my sister goes to church even though she's not Christian, for the social aspect, and everyone was all HYPOCRITE I BET SHE JUST WANTS TO MEET BOYS and I was all *facepalm* and just stopped.

HAHA YES that Maria, always chasing the boys. HOW DID THEY KNOW.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I KNOW RIGHT? i mean GOD. She is the most raging dyke who is not actually gay ever.

For what it's worth, I respect your faith a great deal. It's one of the most beautiful, loving, open parts of you. <33

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Thank you. <333

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

People are frussstrating. And I still have to write a lab report about said discussion group, which is going to suck.

There are many uses for religion and the need for meaning is one of them, but it's certainly not for weak people. You could make the case that not caring much whether there's a meaning or not, as in my case, is much weaker than deriving a meaning from something which isn't directly evident from the universe without texts and histories explaining it. Tell them to leave you alone!

breakfast is good. I'm probably skipping dinner because I'm not hungry yet and the hall's almost closing.

I am bored with arguing and will probably just sulk about it. There tends to be a point when you realise you aren't going to change anyone's mind and you try not to think about the fact that you have three more months of dicussion groups with them.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]
