I don't know... "fly casual"

Wed Oct 17, 2007, 3:19 AM
I've been seeing a therapist back home in Vero Beach because I've been dealing with alot of "loss issues" and I think its all finally caught up with me and manifest itself into my new problem: death.

I know everyone fears death because it is the greatest unknown ever, but most people shrug and say, "death doesn't matter to me because i follow this god and he says if i'm good i get to hang out with him for all eternity."

About a month and a half ago, my brain put my Christianity to the test to battle all out against science and logic. I'm sorry to say but science beat religion in my head. This caused me to realize that there is no God and there is no afterlife and when you die, you die. That's it. Sorry Charlie, no light at the end of the tunnel. Since existing is pretty much everything I know, the very idea of NOT existing frightened me so much that I was spurred into inaction as life seemed pointless.

I went to see a recommended therapist after my parents suggested I do, and so far I've had two sessions with him, with somewhat positive results. I'm also on some medication, which include Paxil, and they help as well, but i'm not too fond of the weight gain side effect.

I set a big goal for myself and came up with the idea of this big ass diorama. Check it out, if you haven't already. It'll take me a long time to finish but it will be worth it, as it is a symbol of an accomplishment.

School is doing well so far, but i've been slacking this quarter. I chalk it up to my mindset and will get things back together when I sort out my problems.

if death is a concern and science is your belief... then perhaps the thought of matter and energy being recycled may be a comfort... energy does not dissipate but is changed from one state to another... so when you die you become part of everything else around you... a release from and indvidual to a connection to the whole (the disconnection is just an illusion anyway)... perhaps you would also do well to think about where thoughts come from... electrical impulses in the brain that can be mapped obviously, but what initiates a thought is a complete mystery... where do they come from and where do they go before/after becoming an electrical impulse... how do cells and every organ in our body know what to do without or telling them, how does DNA know which traits to make and cells to divide into... if science be the obstacle for faith, then look deeper into these things... because i was there once and while i am no longer christian i cannot deny (nor confirm) god, but I believe... the more i learn about science, physics and quantum physics, the more i believe in god... I would be happy to debate ideas with you, if you are ever interested

when i had the debate in my head, i don't think found a disbelief in a god. more like an agnostic mindset, instead of atheist.

i just didn't have anything else to fill the void when religion was gone, and that's what made me have this mindset.

more of a transitional phase i think, without any sort of belief support to carry me through it.

i'd love to bash brains around with ya
