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

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."

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

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.

Hand them each a copy of St. Augustine's Confessions.

aww, that makes the alyosha in my head unhappy. would you like him to go beat them up? by which i mean be gentle and tolerant but firmly faithful at them, and actually, there is no beating up involved here at all?
