Tractatus Animu-Philosophicus

So the other day in a class i was referred to as a pagan. Even as a joke that stings because of the teacher that said it. It hurts because the teacher knows me so well and I can’t clearly define Paganism other than the punchline for a joke in Christian circles.

So I set out to define and know better Paganism and wikipedia will help me in my journey. Paganism is defined as many things such as a broad set of spiritual or cultic practices or beliefs of any folk religion, and of historical and contemporary polytheistic religions in particular, or faith traditions outside the Abrahamic monotheistic group of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Perhaps its the absence of proselytism, and the presence of a living mythology which explains religious practice.

I  have no idea what these mean at a first glance so lets break it down. NO im not pagan. Pagans still believe in somethings which i dont. I at the moment dont believe in god or anything.I refuse to accept the concept of a higher power but i refuse to believe in nothing and absurdity, this makes me a mild agnostic. meaning that i dont know the answers but the answers arent ultimately unknowable. perhaps there is a god im in the middle right now.

Also how neat is it that  when i started emailing chris green about his blog and the weak sauce of his class lessons compared to his blog, and it started a thought of a bible study which then flourished. it is sunday or maybe saturday at the smithharts.

Good god i never post here anymore. I haven’t really had the time so i’ll just brief you on the basics. Been watching One Piece, Gintama, and reading a divine dramedy which is the best webcomic I’ve ever read. I read a lot of webcomics like , joe loves crappy movies, and questionable content, but this one just re-inspires my love of writing stories. For my english class we only write reviews or essays about society and all that bs.

This has led me to start writing a novel. I know what you’re thinking how good can a novel a privileged 18 year old senior at  a christian school be? I doubt myself like that all the time and the book is centered around a character similar to me. A detached, cynical young man being transferred to a private academy, which happens to be full optimistic bastards. Just writes itself doesn’t it?

Also I’m watching the first season of Dexter from Netflix, and I’m digging it hardcore.
