Why School is at Odds With Christian Belief

I'm sure that at one point or another we have all wanted to tell our teachers that homework was against our religion. Once I even joked about creating a religion in which this was the case, unfortunately I don't think that anyone would follow a religion where I was to be the supreme ruler. Anyways, I HAVE UNDISPUTED EVIDENCE THAT HOMEWORK GOES AGAINST BASIC CHRISTIAN BELIEFS**

Matthew 6:34 says "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own".

According to this passage I shouldn't worry about the next day. Let me ask, how many of us have worried about an upcoming test, or a paper that we've procrastinated on, or a teacher assigning 50 pages of reading in some obscure book like Thomas Kuhn's "Structure of Scientific Revolutions" due by tomorrow? In accordance with this, homework is a source for a lot of stress and worry, therefore it goes against my religion. If something like homework causes me to start sweating from pores that I didn't even know I had.

Another example of why school is against Christian belief is because of the separation of Church and state that is imposed upon the public school system. Mark 16:15 says "Go into all the world and preach the good word to all creation". Teachers are not allowed to preach the gospel to their students, which makes the public school system unbiblical. Because of this, I don't think that I should have been required to attend all those years. And besides, I think that we can all agree that middle school was a living Hell, and since Hell is separation from God, I think that we can all draw the conclusion that Middle School is the anti-christ.

Some could say that the private school system avoids this, and it does, but it still gives homework. So there fancy private christian schools.


**I'm sure that someone somewhere who is much smarter than me could easily turn my argument into swiss cheese, but those people should just shut up. I mean come on, do they really want homework?



Well, If anyone wants to use this argument on their teacher, then you will have to pay me a royalty fee of 10 dollars, or take me out for pizza. (I'd prefer the pizza).

Adios!

Fake Forum

Forum: a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged. To those of you who read this, or just happened upon it, you might be wondering why i started off with a definition of a word, especially given my distate for the human language, i mean seriously forum. it sounds like a UPS worker can't make up his mind.

Worker: Hi I have a package FOR. . .UM. . .UH. . . nevermind.

See?!?!

Anyways, I gave the definition because my college has a place known as "The Forum" it's simply a nice area that is semi-closed off from the rest of campus and sits right in front of the bible building. Oddly enough, it is not a place where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged. Unless of course you count the exchange of communicable diseases by way of saliva. I mean seriously, this is like couple's central 340 days out of the year. It reminds me more of a High School Hallway than a forum. Thankfully I am the only person sitting here right now and if anything happens to change that I will promptly leave and go vomit into my hat. Actually probably not....I kinda like my hat. Anyways. For all of it's faults, the forum is a great place to sit and think, do homework, or just escape the world for a while. . .Especially since the internet reception is spotty at best. It's like a leprechaun is holding the router just out of range of my computer and then suddenly decides to run by really fast giving me about 5.6 seconds of internet. Thankfully that is enough time for me to post this.

well, it's getting dark now, but i'm kinda enjoying it. The sound of the water trickling down the fountains, combined with the narnia-esque lamposts makes me feel like i'm in my own world, which currently, consists of procrastinating and doing everything I can to avoid homework. Well, That's the end of my stream of conciousness writing. Hmmmm.....wait.....nope that's it. or is it? who knows.

Time for a quote

""

Profound isn't it? I thought so...the empty space represents whatever the heck you want it too cause I don't feel like searching for a quote.

Until we meet again!

Language and Learning

Once again I'm sitting in class, it's like totally super fantastic and exciting and stuff. Okay so that was sarcasm, but at least I understand what is going on a little better. . .Understand. . .Under--Stand. How the heck does understand mean "to know"? it sounds like I'm standing under a bridge or something. once again let me express my distate for the english language, and the word again. again--"to repeat" a gain "to obtain more".....anyone else see a problem here? no? okay well maybe i'm just imagining that I speak a flawed language. Besides, everything sounds better when spoken in a foreign language. For example, let's say something in French. . . L'ectriture est pour les ecrivains. For those of you mortals who don't speak french, I just said that writing is for writers, but it sounded cooler. And let's just all agree that everything sounds better in Latin. Hodie diu. (This day is long) not only did it sound cool, but it was shorter, so I didn't end up with finger cramps from typing too much. 

On a different note. Today I had to sit and listen to a fellow student give a presentation on some type of fancy Chemistry stuff. All I remember is something about copper combining with CO3.- to make symplex 3. . .In other words I had NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON!!! Although I'm sure it was very interesting to 3 people. 1.) the speaker 2.) my professor and 3.) people who knew what was going on. . . I was not in any of these categories. While the student was speaking I was off in la la land thinking about which route back to my dorm would get me back fastest so that I could avoid the 75 mph gusts of wind. and no I'm not exaggerating.  And when I wasn't thinking about that I was trying to not fall asleep. So overall it was a very productive class. 

Hmmm, well It has come to my attention that this blog has no real substance, it is pure rambling. so....for your academic enjoyment, I give you. . . . . *drum roll* *applause* cheering*    A quote of the day. (cliche? yes. but who cares)

crede quod habes, et habes. (Believe that you have it, and you do)

Not only was that insightful and biblically accurate (Mark 11:24), but it was also in Latin

Sayonarra! 

Perception and Pokemon

Rationalized perception is my basic view of the world (and it's also a great way to annoy my roommate). If I simply disagree with him by saying that I percieve the world differently than he does, then he is immediatley annoyed. It's great!

This brings up an interesting point.

Perception.

How do blind people percieve the world? Do they dream in feelings and sounds?

Do deaf people dream people speaking in hand signals?

Why can I never have the same dream about flying twice, but the sludge monster that suffocates me seems to be in weekly installments? Hmmm, okay, so I kinda made that one up, but who cares. Maybe now that i'm writing my perception of the past has changed. In fact if I think long enough I could probably construct a dream about a sludge monster and punctuate it with witty commentary and outline how I defeated it by using a combination of telekinesis and Ju Jitsu. And on the subject of superpowers, there has been a recent infatuation with pokemon among my circle of friends. My roommate has been playing for almost 16 hours, stopping only to sleep. I'm pretty sure that he was humming the theme song in his sleep and periodically yelling pika....CHU! Ohwell. who needs sleep anyways.

Seriously, who needs sleep. Napolean conquered the world and he only slept 4-5 hours a night. of course he was short so his metabolism was probably independant of sleep. Coincidentally, the people in the pokemon game are really short too. in the opening monologue, your character gets zapped by a laser straight out of "Honey I shrunk the Kids" and voila, you are now the size of a hobbit.
Well, that's all that my mind is capable of spewing out for now. well. so long, farewell, aufweidersein goodnight, I hate to go and leave this pretty sight. doo doo da doo doo doo doo doo. doo doo da doo da doo.

Redemptive Reflections

I had a thought today. Scary right? well I know what you're probably thinking, this blog is going to be a serious of random thoughts going through this guys head. Sorry, but if that's what you are hoping for then you will be sadly disappointed mi amis. My thought was this, where would we be if the Messiah hadn't come back yet. What if the world was still waiting for the prophecies of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Zechariah and the others to come true. What religion would I follow, if any? would I simply be living according to whatever set of rules I applied to my own life, or would the world be engulfed in another mainstream religion such as Islam or Buddhism. What would the U.S., a country founded by christians, look like today without its original guiding principles as they were derived from Christianity. What type of a person would I be. What type of person would all of us who call ourselves Christians be? Would we be the same? Would we be lesser versions of ourselves? What would our morals entail?

I guess what I'm getting at is this. We don't appreciate, at least not as much as we should, how much our world is impacted by Christianity. Those who think that we live in a totally secular society should stop and look back at how History has been impacted. I think that we should never forget what has gotten us to the place we are now at.

that's all folks, TTFN. (ta ta for now) (Tigger was a boss)

Lilting Listhpe's

Haven't done this in quite a while, so why am I writing it right now? Well, it could be because the stars are in perfect alignment, or perhaps it has always been my destiny to write a blog post at this very moment, or maybe, just maybe, I am sitting in a really boring class and I think that this is a viable alternative to listening to theories on the viability of the Big Bang. (bonus points for using viable twice)!! Nah, it's probably the first one. so what should i say next. Thats a good movie, NEXT, ah the days when nicholas cage was actually decent. hmmm, well this is awkward, I just forgot everything....I was going to write about. Did I scare you for a sec. If I would have ended that sentence after everything then you would have thought that I had amnesia. But I don't, so we're good. Now this girl sitting next to me is elbowing me while trying to answer a question. Oh well. lisp. shouldn't it be spelled listhp, because, you know, that's how it sounds when someone with a listhp says listhpe. and yes the last one was british, like theatre instead of theater, or shoppe instead of shop. silly british people, they can't spell. neither can my roommate, but he's not british, although he does have red hair so maybe he's irish. . . hmmmm. hmmme. hmmsthpe. hahaha, those were american, british, and lisp respectively. Well, I think that that's all that I have to say about that thing that I was talking about in that earlier time in that place on that thing, that was boring until that guy started saying that word, that was funny.

Pulmonary Pizza

Cheezies pizza is delicious, what isn't so delicious is sacrificing it to the porcelain god. Normally pizza doesn't make me puke, but the combination of pizza and working out right afterward probably contributed to this event. hmmm, porcelain god....why? is it because we bow down before it when we puke? if it's a god then why do we give it offerings of another kind whilst sitting upon it's mouth while not wearing pants. If I die i really hope that I don't get that job in heaven, this is how it would probably go. *Gods voice* Stephen! you have failed me, unfortunatley you believed in me so I can't send you to hell, instead i'm going to make you a God! *me* YESSSSS!!!! SWEET!!! WOOOHOOO!!! so do I get to be Thor? Hercules? Odin? Ra? *God* nope, you get to be the porcelain god. heh heh heh. *me* crap. (literally). on a different note, what would life be like without us having to breathe. Because personally i think that would com in really handy in public restrooms, and underwater, and in space. Actually now that i think about it breathing is dumb. what is the point anyways? if evolution was true then clearly we wouldn't have to suck oxygen down our throats every 10-15 seconds. stupid air. well that's it, talk to ya later y'all. yes I just said it.
