freaking out (a little)
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

I think I owe some people some kudos.
But right now, I owe myself some dinner.
Kichiiiiiii! Are you fishing for kudos?

Procrastinating. I had planned to start the push to finish getting my apartment ready for the city inspector, and had set a deadline for starting that passed three hours ago. Knowing I have today and all day Monday is leaving me lazy.

I've decided to cancel reading the Brothers Karamazov. My stress level is high enough already, and I have enough to do this week as it is. Cleaning and organizing tonight and tomorrow, group therapy and psychiatrist appointment and meditation group on Tuesday, Vietnamese New Year's celebration on Saturday, and getting a media pc configured and tested. That's enough, I think.
(I just noticed, the book club doesn't meet until Thursday. I may have time to read the book yet, if I stay up all night Wednesday night. It will take approximately 20-24 hours of reading, not including breaks. If I read 4 hours Monday night and 6 hours Tuesday night, that leaves only a night's worth reading to accomplish it. Let's see how badly I procrastinate the apartment stuff first.)

Freaking in might be a problem.

That sounds like it could possibly be painful.

I wonder what Rural/Metro would say about that. I'd hope it wouldn't require an IV line. My veins are bad.
