Sep. 7th, 2009 11:39 pmIt's really embarrassing and a little amusing when you find someone favouriting your really, really bad fanfiction from eight years ago. Like, 'guys? even I know that's bad shit. seriously. thank you. but - go outside. read a little. scrub this from your mind and never speak of it again.' And then I feel like I can't take it down in case it upsets them. *sighs*
Religion and teh gays have been squatting in my conversations recently. I read about an awesome protest sign 'Jesus had two dads, so why can't I?' and also heard about the ill-dubbed 'atheists in foxholes' concept. As it has been explained to me, the movement supports atheists who serve in wartime receiving higher accolades than the religious. The reasoning goes that the religious give up their home, loved ones, body and mind, and possibly their earthly lives for their country or cause. However the crucial difference is that the religious believe in life after death. They know that even should they die, it is not the end. Atheists have no such cold comfort. They know that when they are killed by that stray bullet, that is it. No choirs of angels, not even eternal damnation to look forward to. Unlike the religious, the atheists who go willingly into war knowingly give up everything for a future they will never experience.
That's pretty bloody brave.
Elsewise, life is beautiful. I've now been awake for approximately eight hours, and will shortly return to bed. Resetting ones body clock is so easy to do initially, and then so difficult to rectify. *le sigh*
In Pop Culture, 30 Rock grows increasingly charming the more you watch it, and Wings is a terrible, terrible, heinous book.
