First Entry
While looking for the journal I saw YOSUH's comment in in the first place, I seemed to have fucked up and reposted my last comment on Jaidee's journal... And somehow it got messed up and just posted yet another message. (Update 4/3: I figured it out in the end and fixed it, Yay.)
So anyway, I found this rather interesting argument in praise of (bear with me here) Lucifer on a page i found from from The Link YOSUH posted. (my storys always end up explaining themselves, dispite the fact I usualy start in the middle and work outward)
The argument's position is that the story of Lucifier is told via the point of view of the dominant dogma, which of course is that he was throws out of Heaven for questioning god. The argument suggest that rather than being cast out, Lucifer left heaven, and God's Court because his ideals of independence and critical thinking, which went against the grain of the code of heaven as layed down by the Old Testament God, who indeed was a formidibal badass.
Its worth mentioning at this point that I'm not Christian, not a member or believer in any organized religion, actually. What interests me about the argument, is the effect values such as blind faith ("Mysterious ways") has on a society that is confronted with self inflicted horor. Comming from a behavior modification persepctive, justifing both great events (Miracles) and horrible events (Hurricane) as "God works in mysterious ways" acts like a blindfold. The point is, This blindness can't be a good thing, praying won't stop a hurricane nor end violence.
Going to get a new picture up soon. Get the whole Mobile picture thing working too... Come back for links to weird occult conspiracy stuff and your infrequent dose of my madness.
