....What?

By
Why. Why did he go through the trouble of writing all of that and then say everything was a joke?  I already didn't understand what you were rambling on about and now you're telling me it was all a "joke"?  I get that this is written as a constant stream of thought but..I have sooooo many questions and little to no answers. Why did he begin a paragraph about how he wanted to be an insect and then never mention it again? I had to re-read several pages just trying to understand and put together what he was trying to communicate (which I'm still not sure of). And on page 88 when he goes on about how he gets pleasure from shame and how he would ENJOY someone slapping him across the face? If you jumped into this paragraph straight off, this sounds like some weird sexual fantasy. This is a great example of how you'll turn out if you spend too much time alone.

I commented on Nate's and Noah's posts.

    To be honest, I was told that this guy is pretty random with his writing, and i wonder if this section was aimed at when someone might be attempting to let someone know they have issues they are going through, but they get self conscious and decide to say it was all a joke and not true. Seems like a common thread among people in pain and suffering.

An Honest Reaction to Reading "Honest to God"

By
Originally I said in my last blog post that I liked this book, but I have sort of changed my mind. It is not that I hate it or anything, it is just weird and I don’t really agree with what John Robinson is saying most of the time. I appreciate that he is trying to write something different and new, but my problem is that some of the ideas are just a little too radical for my taste, and I disagree with him a lot. In the seventh and last chapter of the book, Robinson himself acknowledges his radicalness and writes about how he knows that this type of thought on religion is controversial. He goes on to write how all great thinkers were seen as controversial when they first started and says, “Every new religious truth comes as the destroyer of some other god”. To further prove this point, he uses the example of how Socrates was condemned as an atheist for not believing in multiple gods, and while it is true that Socrates was a great philosopher who was not seen as so when he was alive, I ...

Raphael and a man walk into Eden...

By
I'll just start off by saying Raphael is one of the three named archangels in Scripture we hear the least about, and I thoroughly enjoy just reading and seeing his name pop up. Regardless, I want to touch on Adam's recounting of his own..."birth". Take that with a grain of salt as Adam was not physically born, but rather he simply became. In truth, we should all be able to give a similar account to their first memory of consciousness and fully aware. Adam was created, but he realized he could walk, talk, and speak without first learning. Imagine being able to think clear thoughts in your native language and be a functioning individual right out of the womb. It's an incredible thought, and Adam can give a recall of this like it were yesterday...which it might have been, who knows? Aside from that, Adam could even give an account to Eve's creation. The Bible says nothing pertaining to this matter so this is where Milton does a bit of adlibbing and writes around ...

OK so, honors project! Honestly I really loved it as a whole. I said this already in the video, but I feel like I personally could've done better. I just feel like I didn't have enough time to completely process some questions and be able to give my best responses. I really enjoyed reading the O'Connor piece, which I think was everyone's favorite anyway. I love narrative stories like that, but honestly I'm glad I got to be in the Russell group. I feel like that group was the easiest to argue and answer from, honestly. As a whole, I would love to do a project like this again in later semesters. It was a lot of fun and time FLEW by.
