A Whole Wheel of Cheese

My mood has been changing constantly lately. I was really happy today, and not just because I went to an OSU football game.

I was thinking about why the hell I was feeling so crummy during my last post. It didn't make sense to me, because I don't think there was really a legitimate reason to be so unhappy. Sure, I was lied to--a lot--but it doesn't matter.

So, I've told myself to stay happy, or pretend to be happy if I don't have a good reason to be sad. Now, I know it's not good to pretend to be something you're not, but when I'm unhappy for no reason, I tend to be a bitch, and I regret it later. I'm sure people don't like talking to me when I'm a bitch. So...... if I don't have a decent reason to be a bitch, I'm not going to be one, even if I just "feel like it", because I don't think that's a good enough reason. Rejoice! ^.^

It sucks.. Subjects I would usually feel laid back talking about are beginning to irritate me. Like, when people joke about women being subordinate back in the old days.. I used to not care. But now it bothers me. A lot. It's not funny. I'm tired of hearing guys say that's how it should be again, even if they're just playing around. All we were good for were childbirth and housework. I find that rather disheartening.

Another subject that bothers me now that didn't so much before is religion. I used to be a Jehovah's Witness. It was cool.. Except for the whole going door-to-door thing, that sucked, which is why I never did it but once. And if I were to believe that any religion would be the "Path to Salvation," I would go with that one. But I'm more of an Atheist than anything nowadays. Sometimes, I might question the possibility that maybe there is a god, but usually I just don't. I'm fucking sick of people pushing their beliefs onto me, as if their telling me that my way of life is wrong will actually succeed in manifesting faith within me.... You're just going to make me hate you even more than I did before (if I did before, and if I didn't hate you before, I would just hate you).

The other day, I was walking by some people, my friends, in the hallway at school. They were standing outside a room waiting to be interviewed for an FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes, if you live a sheltered life and didn't already know what that stood for) officer position. Someone asked me if I was applying for a position, and I was like, "No. I'm not even in FCA." They asked why I wasn't in FCA and I told them I was an Athieist, and after enduring their blank stares for a few seconds, I added, "...I don't believe in god."

They don't even talk to me anymore. Well, one of them still does, but I think she thought I was joking, maybe. But that's stupid though.... They all got along great with me before they knew I didn't share their beliefs. It's not like I'm a Satan worshipper--I don't believe in him either.

Anyway, my point is, I think religion should be an entirely private part of someone's life. I think people should go to great lengths to keep their religion and beliefs out of other people's lives.

I'm glad though.

Oh wait...... It's Saturday night......... Which means tomorrow is SUNDAY! And that means the day after is MONDAY! Which means a whole new week of school.. I wish I had a clone to send to school, along with my other reason. Or at least go every other day and send the clone every other day I didn't go. That would be cool, because I can't skip too much or I'll fail, which means I won't graduate, which means I'll either have to repeat this year or settle for the unrewarding life of an undergraduate or whatever. Sundays suck.

i find it funny. that people that dont believe in a God hate christians because of the fact that they try to show you the gosple to them. like you want us to accept who we are... well accept who WE are. christians are commanded by God to share the word of God. were are just being what we are suppose to be. nothing wrong with that is there?

and there was a little bit there while i was praying for you... that you did admit to me... you felt the presents of God. what happen there? did you just... stop believing? or is it that so much stuff is going on that it just kinda took the air out of you and thing... how could this happen to me? why would God do this to me? well... it happens to all of us, including me. but i keep going. i have faith. maybe thats just what you need more of.

and about the whole atheism... it almost seems like to me that people dont want to admit that there is a God. they think... i dont want someone of more power to be over me. you know... stuff like that.

and im sorry if i hit a soft spot... i just care.

Well, fine, preach your gospel to Atheists, but don't try to force us into believing it by repeatedly by telling us that we're wrong, that there IS a god no matter what we believe.. I choose what I believe, and no one is going to convince me to convert by bold-face telling me that I'm living my life wrong. I never walked up to you, or some other Christian and said, "Hey, your life is devoted to a god that doesn't exist. So any part of your life that has anything to do with a god is just a waste because you're wrong for believing one exists." Don't keep pelting us with your beliefs after we keep denying them.

And I never said I hated Christians! When did I say that, Dave?? Never. I wouldn't have so many Christian friends if I hated Christians. I hate how some of them think they're better than everyone else, I hate how some self-proclaimed Christians are fake.. but I never said I hated Christians.

And no, I don't want to believe that there is some bigger power over me.. I'd rather believe that I can take charge of my own destiny instead of having my life already mapped out for me. How I see it, NOTHING is meant to be. Nothing coincides with some "divine plan".... I think that would be gay.

I have my own reasons to believe what I do.. And you seemingly have yours. Good for you, Dave, you have something you feel you can rely on, and I feel as if I can rely on myself.
