does that make me crazy...
Feb. 7th, 2007 07:33 pmToday in pysch, I realized that being an athelist materialist made my life... interesting. We were talking about whether a machine can be concious, and too many people were going "No, of course not."
Me: uahdsa?
I am fine with people believing in god, or gods, I am fine with it screwing up their own lives. I HATE it when they start to prosolatize. I get physically sick feeling. Once I walked past this guy who was holding up this sign going "Jesus loves you when you love him. If you don't you're going to hell," and I litterally tripped over and then couldn't breathe for a good five minutes.
I understand that if I don't like the whole "no going and trying to force yourself on other people's ideas" I can't preach myself, but, on the same token, I feel I listened to other people and what they had to say before deciding that I don't believe in God(s).
Well. I also found it interesting that me, Dave and Joel seemed to all agree on this... ish. We didn't get down into the finer details, where I am sure we disagree, but for the general, large idea we did. Everyone else didn't.
My favorite moment though was when Lee went, really loudly, "Well I do believe in a higher power so piss off!"
