i'm going to get this out of the way right here and now. when i first saw "Read C.S. Lewis and..." i thought, "what the fuck does 'Alice and Wonderland' have to do any of this? this deep son of a bitch has lost me." always get those two mixed up, yes. anyhow, were you defending your athieism to people who genuinely didn't know the difference between the two or were they ignorant types who wanted to bust your balls? if the latter, than i hope you delivered your explainations to them this exact way. if the former, i hope they at least walked away educated. i was raised by agnostic parents and personally have never felt any sort of spiritual presence of God/a god. the fact that people base man's creation on proof that God exists, i find myself asking:
Who created God? if no one came before Him/Her (because, surly, we'd all be worshiping that one), if He/She popped out of thin air, then why is it incoceivable that the first human being didn't as well? i have not believed in or offered appreciation to a higher power/ super creator since i was 12 years old, which is old enough to question that sort of thing, while being 22 (and you're what? 24?) is too fucking old to be defending something like your beliefe. those arguments should've gone to bed at 16 (that's the age whe you're supposed to have an established respect for the choices people make for themselves, am i wrong? i drink my coffee black, you drink your's with milk, are you going to give me shit about it? no!) and i for one am sorry that you have to be at the business end of those criticisims. whatever. i guess it's good conversation, if nothing else.
damn, until just now i saw c.s. lewis and thought alice in wonderland also. fucking lewis carroll. i also always get upton sinclair and sinclair lewis confused.
and matt, i don't give a damn what you do or don't believe, let's just hang out and talk about music and beer.
