Jsaj's blog

So, it's been a whole day since this happened and I haven't seen a blog about it, which surprised me, so I decided now is as good a time as ever to actually write another blog.

Well, it has been a while since I did the last one of these, but hey, I’ve got plenty of time. At this rate, if I keep it up, and live to 75, I might get to Exodus.
So, anyway, god has just killed every non-aquatic animal except for Noah and his family and the animals on his ark. We now return to our, uh, protagonists, after the flood has done its work.
Genesis 8

OK, so it was a while ago. I was debating, I think, Mission_Minded_Maiden. The usual topic for those debates being Religion. So, she suggested that I read a book called "The Case For Christ" by some guy called Lee Strobel. This was months ago, probably. Well, I just found it and, because I like to think of myself as fair minded, I got it and have started reading it. I also recommend it. It's hilarious!

So, I’m taking a class called Research Writing. It’s required English after expository writing (which I got out of thanks to good SAT scores). Sounds like a dull class nonetheless, does it not?

So, I live in New York City. And recently there was a commercial that was on TV that was like talk to your kids about drugs. It was that sort of thing, except it was about sex. Now, I don’t have a problem with the idea of a commercial asking parents to talk to kids about sex. It’s a big deal in today’s world. It can be dangerous.

I’m getting kind of sick of being told that god works in mysterious ways. Usually after some horrible tragedy that can’t otherwise be explained by the religious world-view. You know, it’s just something that gets on my nerves.

In response to an outburst (two, that I’m aware of) hanging nooses in front of the houses of blacks, the NY State Senate has jumped into action and passed one of the most outrageous pieces of legislation imaginable. One can only hope that by the time the State Committee gets to it, the incidents will have been forgotten, and the bill can be quietly put to death.
