Random Ranting in Eb

Jun 26, 2006 22:58

So, it's been quite awhile since my last entry... heh, "Father, it has been a long time since my last confession". It's very strange, that custom. If you believe in an omniscient omnipotent all loving God, God would already have forgiven your sins. I suppose it's just so people can get everything off their chest, so they can hear the words "You are ( Read more... )

Which beliefs do they mock you over?

zorander22 June 28 2006, 01:21:54 UTC

Well, I get teased in a friendly way by some people because I take home some stuff like cardboard and glass to recycle... I've been somewhat mocked (but that's probably too strong a word for most of it, they don't mean to hurt me) for believing in Good but not Evil, some stuff on consciousness... that sort of thing.

Speaking of which, I've come to the conclusion that "evil not existing" may simply be a way of looking at the glass half full. It isn't the only way of looking at it but it is a rather optimistic alternative...no?

Haha, yes, I sometimes am seen as overly "different" because I try to minimize waste at work; sometimes I am seen as different because I like to talk philosophy and arguments; however, my boss asked me to research recyling options, so that's positive.

Firefly is the single best show ever made.

zorander22 July 1 2006, 03:02:20 UTC

Agreed! Now I just need to do everything I can to get them to do a second season!

Did you see Serenity?

He has to finish the season first, I thought it was necessary to know all of the 14 episodes to really enjoy the movie, myself. But he will, don't you worry ;).

Wow, your own sermon. That's amazing! I agree with you - you should write your own sermon, and then make sure you aren't going on too much of a tangent.

Don't stop caring for and helping people. It is an intrinsic part of who you are, Daniel.

Enjoy the rain...it's good for the garden!

zorander22 July 1 2006, 03:06:00 UTC

Thank you :) Yeah, I'll definitely go with that advice.

I'll just have to learn to do it more intelligently I guess... but I don't think that will be changing :)

I did and will enjoy the rain... I had a dream once where I ended up becoming a raindrop, and from there I sort of... became a storm I guess. It was very interesting, though I suppose it doesn't sound like it!

I know I haven't responded to a bunch of your responses in your LJ recently... I must apologize, I've been busy and am heading out for the weekend, so I'll get to that next week! Have a great weekend!

Haha did John really ask you to stop. That's funny, makes me laugh. I suppose other people are a hassle ;). You're more than welcome for telling them you don't get mad, its the truth, I guess I've just known you longer therefore know you better.

Yes, good job goes to Belinda for the firefly, mines at my nana's, since I'm making her watch it too. I should get paid commision or something from them, I've converted so many people.

I'm not sure they're making fun of you so much for your beliefs at work, I'm just not sure they really have thought about it as much as you, and well, they may not quite enjoy the intrinsic value of debate so much. Plus they have each other for back up to tag team you ;).

PS Evolution isn't happening ;) At least you still believe in it though...

zorander22 July 8 2006, 01:59:43 UTC

Yeah, he did ( ... )
