ATF. I won't apologize for this.

It was okay, I guess. My favourite part was talking to Abi and Bob about our different belief systems. At first they didn't see how someone could believe in Christianity, Buddhism, and New Thought all at once but when I explained it all it made sense. Bob wants to talk to me more about stuff. He keeps talking about how the world's going to end in ( Read more... )

If you ever want to have a conversation with me about being a victim of friends ditching you for their significant others, come see me. I'm just about the poster child.

And I'm somewhat similar to you in your views, about worship and sex, I mean. I think often that everyone at church sort of subtley says that if you feel lust, GASP! Quickly, throw yourself into the Bible before you burn! I don't mean to imply that I believe sexual promiscuity is all right, but in my opinion, you can't really control your own emotions. You can only control your actions. Even so, I don't think a person is necessarily wrong to have sex before marriage. Worship I'm unsure about, because you're right, sometimes it is like you're a slave, but at the same time, it's supposed to be like you're humbled before God, since He's our creator. I'm sort of back and forth about it. I'm not trying to say that I'm God's equal or something, but at the same time, sometimes I feel strange about being so terribly harsh on myself. You know?

Yeah, I know. Worship like "hail holy king I'm bowing down to you because I'm meek and insignificant and so completely evil inside" is just dumb. People are good and should recognize themselves as being good. And sex is okay if you love the person I think.

If you ever want to have a conversation with me about being a victim of friends ditching you period, come see me. I'm just about the poster child.

You know Ali, now that I'm starting to think about it, we have a lot in common.

I think that you definitely need to give God some respect for all He is, but at the same time, I don't see Him as like, some mean, arrogant being pointing a finger at me. Many Christians say that it is a parent-child relationship, which is what it should be, but they don't seem to really treat the relationship that way. A parent-child relationship needs to be supportive, loving, disciplinary but not tyrannical, etc.

I would disagree with you there, Jake, and say we are extremely different, but in reconsidering, you and I do have similar ideas about a few things.

You know what Jake, I was just thinking about you the other day, and how we haven't talked at all since this summer. Want to get together some time over break and philosophize or anything really, my life's fairly bland lately.

savourflavour February 16 2009, 04:06:23 UTC

Dude!

John?

I miss you brother! Yeah, we do need to get together sometime over break and break our bland lives. Where've you been?

Oh, here and there. Just kickin' about town. Sometimes when I'm feeling out of it I'll just cruise around town listing to Jazz. I'm free most of the week, weather dependent. If the weather's good, I'll probably be heading up to CMU for the weekend.

Its just tj n i are completly and utterly brand new, you know how it goes in the very beginning right? all sparkly and awesome? i didnt know i was being such an aweful person. i am so sorry!

savourflavour February 17 2009, 12:55:11 UTC

You weren't being an awful person. And I understand. I was just upset that I felt so left out.

frogduckieyo February 19 2009, 02:01:51 UTC

well i didnt want to make you feel that way at all, sry you didnt have a good of time as you could have, just a question, why did you go? what made you want to go? what did you think it would be?

savourflavour February 19 2009, 06:37:51 UTC

Are you implying that I was supposed to expect to feel left out? That I was supposed to expect you guys to forget about everyone else and focus on some guy?

Because that's what it seems like you're saying here.

woah, it does seem like you're overreacting a tad bit Jake. Not to mention taking it the wrong way.

Lighten up mr. Sun-shiny-flowers-flowers-flowers-flowers-flowers-flowers-flowers dude.
