a heathen on the go!

Wow, it's amazing what a difference a few hours make. I'd forgotten that it is infinitely easier to absorb information when one doesn't have classes at the ass-crack of dawn, and one is fully awake. I feel like I've rediscovered my love of math. + + <3 and so on, in that fashion.

The Christianity class isn't so bad either. The last religion class I took was nearly unbearable, because the instructor would stop every five minutes to insert a disclaimer into the lecture along the lines of "Of course, this is just what HISTORIANS believe, it may not be true, you can believe whatever you want, buzzzzzzzzz..." Yeah, that's great, but I really don't think that Christians are signing up for religious courses in college and expecting them to teach "Everything Proves that the Bible is Right 101" (and if they are, the DESERVE a rude awakening).

This time around, the instructor provided no such reassurance. In fact, she came right out and said "So, Abraham probably didn't exist, but the stories about him are true, just like every religion is true in the minds of its believers, it's called faith, DEAL WITH IT." You have no idea how refreshing it was to hear that, and to realize that I wouldn't have to listen to disclaimers all year. Instead, this teacher will occasionally wake up the class by saying something bizarre and sort of incendiary, such as "Blah blah temple blah Jewish influence blah so I've always wondered how men can love Jesus with all their heart and soul without being gay."

I snorted and guffawed when she said that one. No one else did. NO ONE. What the hell, people?

INDEED.

MOVING ON, GOOD SIRS.

I'm off to eat, then work on Shikye, then probably eat some more. Also, eating.

Oh your religion class sounds great...but Z, my love, Christians take every class assuming that it will be "Everything Proves that the bible is Right101"....even Biology classes!

Oh David, dear heart, don't be mean! Hee hee, we sound like we're reading from a play.

There are plenty of sane and rational Christians out there. I should know, half my friends are Christains. As with any group, it's just a small, vocal, annoying minority that's giving them a bad name with non-Christians.

Replying to myself, because I realized that I just referred to my friends as "sane and rational." I have no idea WHAT I was thinking. <3

People should all have enough balls to say what needs to be said, and if they don't have 'em, they should get neuticles (i.e. testicular implants).

[sakibombshell.livejournal.com]

By the way, when I say "balls" I am speaking figuratively. Just to clarify.

[thez.livejournal.com]

The fact that you know what testicular implants are called frightens me.

Ask her what she thinks of the theory that Jesus and John the Apostle were ONE HOT TICKET. <3 This makes me happier than Jesus/Mary Magdalene ever will, for REAL.

Awww. What if I want Abraham to exist because I thought he was cool? Is this allowed?

Your class sounds nifty. I hope it stays so.

What is Shikye, please?

She will probably get to that. She's already mentioned ONE Biblical hot ticket, though I cannot remember their names, having a slippery heathen brain and all. One was King David, maybe? You might be able to fill in the rest!

Abraham can exist wherever and whenever you like! What am I, some sort of existence Nazi? Nein! *cough*

It is indeed very nifty so far, though quite confusing for someone who's never read past Genesis in the Bible. I'm sure I asked about a hojillion stupid questions today.

Shikye belongs here (http://glass-onion.com/conversion/), and is growing up right here (http://seiryuu.org/~thez/tobe/shikye/). He's a very old character that I'm trying to comb the twink out of. It is both difficult and rewarding. App Conversion. <3

Also, what is t¬, por favor? You always sign with this, and I have no idea what it is!

AND, anyone who may click the Shikye link that has a suggestion for de-twinking or other such improvement is free to offer it up! I KNOW YOU PEOPLE. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

[sakibombshell.livejournal.com]

Yes! Score another frightened compadre for the saki-master!

These implants (http://www.neuticles.com/index1.html) are for pets and were in the news all the time when they came out. I think you can even get one on a keychain, should you desire so.

DAVID AND JONATHAN OTP, their love is somakingsaulmad! Dude, the Old Testament even SAYS that their love was steadfast and loyal, I'm THINKING THAT SOMEONE MISTRANSLATED "EROS" AS "FRIENDSHIP", THERE.

Ha ha ha, existence Nazi. Lots of goosestepping anti-matter cops. I snicker.

I am a huge nerd because I went and read all the books of the Law in the Old Testament and took great delight in all of the silly by-laws, like the definitions of kosher. They made me boggle.

WOOO CONVERSION!!!! I fear Conversion, its mightiness is too great for me. I must watch from the sidelines until I get my courage up, also I note that someone already apped with the name of "Indrani Vajra", which makes me sad because that's the name I've always secretly wanted to give a character.

Well, ... you will think I am a dork. BUT WAIT, most people think this anyway. I AM SAFE. "t" is for Treize Khushrenada; he was the entire reason I suffered through watching Gundam Wing and then HE DIED and I was so outraged that I pledged that I was going to commemmorate him with every post I made. So I do. And the "¬" is a retarded fishie that I stole from irksnapple because she used it one day and I thought it looked NEAT.

SO NOW YOU KNOW!
