In the process of reading a book, The god delusion, by Richard Dawkins.... and I do think it's been pretty interesting so far, mainly because it's a science vs religion debate, and I'm eager to see how he phrases his arguements. This book reminds me of my own view on atheism in some ways, and memories as well, particulary those during debate meetings.
Once, it was raining, and all of you guys joked that it's because I was not religious. It happened on several occasions and I'm actually happy that I have some power like that. xDDD

Moving on, this book has given me an insight into that issue...and consolidates several views of my own.
1. If God created us in His fashion, then why would he bestow miracles, help etc on us? Afterall, I would rather bet he'd stay up there and watch all of this drama. Keyword being entertainment.

2. Quoted from a good friend of mine, she says that from the logical point of things, she feels that God does not exist, but is obligated to be a good Christian. Maybe this is the feeling of most people, no matter from what religion. I felt that this proved that religion was an emotional issue......

3. Yup, the most religions in the world today, preaching about peace and God and other stuff, are ironically wrought in blood. Where'd the peace go?

4. I like to think that we created God , as a concept for us to lean on for support. What else better , to think that there is someone 'higher' who controls our lives? He then provides us with a reason to be a 'good' person, to commit several things and put blame on. It is not our fault, because everything is destined by Him. O=
I feel that the reaosn why most people conform to religion and lead 'good' lives is due to our base fear of pain, to avoid punishment in the next life..or something similar. Majority would try to accumulate good deeds and be a good Christian, for example, because they wish to enter Paradise and not end up under the Earth.

Ok, enough of my own views, though surprisingly, this author thought that Confuctionism was an ethical way of living life..or something like that. =D

Since Friday was PA day, and Mon is Family day, I have very long weekend. Somehow, I'm both glad and unused to this many holidays, though I somehow regret the fact that the day is so short...so I have almost done nothing fruitful. =( Went to an artstore yesterday, but the markers that I want are so expensive( $37.95 for 12)..and my dad's a total miser when it comes to these things. Mainly explored the nearby mall as well, but this weather has an unexpected sleepy effect; I feel like sleepy around 4-5 pm....that is NOT a good thing.

Commitee service requirements are still unmet....I need 20 hrs before I can graduate, and this is a total pain in the neck. I really just-can't-be-bothered to search out options to do volunteering...it's a total waste of my time, I reckon.

Regarding the evaluation test I took on Thur, I passed, but with 64%..... kind of made me pissed off but then again, I only had 1hr as apposed to the actual limit of 1.5 hrs. Then I had to reschedule my timetable, but they only have G12 functions in the first timeslot, which clashed with my art slot, also only 1 available. You probably guessed which one I chose. On hindsight, it means I could spend more time doodling . =D
