On the Way to Work

Lately, I've been biking to work for several reasons.

1. So I can get to work.
2. For a little extra exercise.

I somehow got way fitter in one week. Last week, it took me sixty minutes to get home. Today, it took me forty. I shaved off twenty minutes. cheese.

Anywho, on the way here, I saw some fellow cyclists. Two Mormonese fellows. It was a rather pleasant exchange of words.

Me: Excuse me. :-j) (mustache me)

Mormon 2: no problem. (|:-) (helmeted Mormon)

PostScript. I just realized that I've been spelling "mustache" wrong the whole time. I spelt it "moustache". Peculiar...

The abortionist movement decided to have a debate with the non-abortionist movement. In order to make themselves look cooler, they called themselves Pro-Choice and the opposition Anti-Abortion. Everybody likes "pro-", no one likes "anti". Very strategic. But how about this?

Pro-Choice vs. Anti-Baby-Killing

President (also a pro-choice advocate): F*** you.

Also, one of my professors played the Truth-Truth-False Game with us where you have to state two truths and one false fact about yourself. His were the following:

1. Top 2% of his college. (He attended Michigan Tech, majored in Chemical Engineering)
2. In highschool, contemplated suicide.
3. Committed a crime that was investigated by the FBI

Half the class, including I, voted for number 1 as the false statement. The other class voted for number 3.

The true false statement was...number 2. I know, nobody got it right.

Technology and Friends

(only time one ought to text)

I've decided. I'm going to try everything I can to never text in the midst of friends ever again.

Today, a speaker came to Biola to talk about technology and junk. One thing he said stuck out to me: "In this day and age, technology is helping us get closer to those far away from us. And it is also helping us push those close to us far away." (paraphrase)

I was like, "whoa. That's so true. :-jo" (this is moustache me)

I've thought back at the times when I chilled with friends where it literally felt like I was close to them when they weren't with me. Whenever we chilled, they'd be texting someone else. And whenever I was at work or something, I would text with them, probably while they were with some other friends. I don't have these kinds of friends anymore because I didn't think these were healthy friendships.

Anywho, I think even if you're physically there, if you're mentally absent via texting someone else or something it is a) extremely rude and b) an awkward moment generator. I don't like either one of those so I'm gonna try to stop.

So, if you text me and I don't respond it's because I'm with friends.

And in case you think I'm being rude by not responding to your text and making you wait 4 hours for a response, HOW DARE YOU THINK THAT THE TIMES OF MY FRIENDS ARE LESS IMPORTANT THAN YOURS! I'LL CUT YOU!!! RAWRRRRR!!!! >:-jO (angry moustache)

Guns and Talks

So today I've been talking about guns with Shingosan, who is going to be a popo (police officer), and one thing struck out to me as he was explaining to me all the crazy guns that were out there.

That thought was this: there really is no point in the existence of guns, except to inflict violence on people and continue wars. Ok. maybe not continue wars since you can easily kill a man with a sword or Shaolin Spade, but it certainly makes killing a lot easier.

To me, guns are a symbolic representation on the fallen nature of this world. It sucks. Peace and Love yo. Peace, Love, and Christ.

I think I've matured enough now to let things like this disturb me a little bit.

God is in Hell

For those of you whose eyes have been caught in my trap and are currently reading my blog because of the title of this post, hohoho, welcome. Now before you brand me as a heretic and destroy me, let me explain my statement above in two points. Here we go:

1. I think it is rational for God to be in Hell. I know people say, "Hell is the absence of God." But I think that's jibberish. Rather, in the words of my professor, "Hell is the absence of a relationship with God." BUT I'm going to take it further and say, "Hell is the absence of a loving relationship with God." Which takes me to my next point.
2. Who else, can punish sinners doomed to ETERNAL punishment but an eternal God? Satan?Not at all. Satan cannot hold a candle to God in terms of dealing out punishment. What can Satan do, in light of God's ability to punish? Plus, Satan will be punished soon too. What we will see in Hell is God in His wrath, His justice, His holiness. We will never see God's wrath in Heaven. In heaven, we'll have nice things like God's love, God's grace.
3. Also, how can Satan, who is the Evil one, execute an action that is just? Punishing sinners is the right thing to do. How can we expect Satan to do the right thing?

Anywho, there are more, but these are the reasons I wanted to lay out for my defense that, "Hell yeah, God is in Hell." It would be problematic if he wasn't.

I am not even sure where we got the notion that Satan was the ruler of Hell. (this last statement, I'm a bit less confident on, so if you can provide philosophical, historical, or scriptural support on why I'm wrong, I'll be happy to change my stance on this. Though I think I may be right.)
