Use of Calendar. Shame follows

Dec 24, 2004 02:02

It's been nearly two months, which means it's almost time to update. But seeing as it's Christmas I thought I'd jump the gun a little as a gift to you guys. Another result of this period of holiday cheer is that I'll actually be writing a non-fictional entry today. I know I've said that before (and many of you actually believed me), but this ( Read more... )

Awww. I always get so depressed when I read Lucas and your journal entries. I mean...you guys put some EFFORT into writing something that other people might actually enjoy reading. It makes me feel so selfish. As a matter of fact, I'm so upset by it that I might just go and write another angsty entry! THEN you'll be sorry ( ... )

Meat, you say? wedley January 1 2005, 04:23:05 UTC

Please read my reply to Felix's comment here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/wedley/3482.html?thread=18074#t18074

No offense intended, everyone.

I used to be an agnostic too, until I read an article by Douglas Adams about atheism. I forget what he said, but it had a big effect on me.

No offence taken. Mostly I'm just really embarrassed and feeling pretty stupid!

But it's not like I know you well enough to be able to take such an entry as anything but serious! It's in my nature to take people seriously and give them a bit of credit when they start talking about their beliefs. You don't wanna go messing about with people's beliefs! Although I was surprised to see you acting a teensy bit overzealous, I don't KNOW you very well!

Yeah, it all seemed a little contradictory... but still interesting curse you! I got that you were making fun of yourself but still thought you meant some of what you said.

I simply figured, hoped, that you might actually HAVE some good arguments! I thought to myself 'hmmm, perhaps he can offer a different perspective...'.

SORRY. I'll just go crawl into a hole and die now!

Ok, in seriousness though, you DO call yourself an Atheist? If so, why? Be nice! In serious! I really am curious! :P

Don't be embarassed. Everyone else bought it too, 'cept for Stew. But I've probably talked to him about this stuff before ( ... )

Very well said.

Yeah, that was one of the many points that drove me out of my belief of the existence of a god. With September 11 for example, as I was slipping away from the church, people there were saying things like "god is testing us" or "god needed them to be with him". There are so many illogicalities within those reasonings that it is simply laughable.

I don't want to go rubbing people up the wrong way here, but I just really feel sorry for them.

I am also one who could discuss my reasonings for hours, but in the end, it's up to the person, and if they have their mind firmly set in mere "faith", there's not a whole lot anyone can say to change that.

Though I would love to discuss my thoughts on the subject with both of you at some point. Just not in writing - it would take months.

I just wrote out several long winded-paragraphs then backspaced on the lot.

You're right. 'Tis a topic best talked about when tipsy!
(Though I can't drink so I'll just have to settle for a sugar high)
