Jesus was really a WIZARD!!!!

He even had a wand. Moses was also a wizard and he also had a wand.

This is Geoffery:
He is a Hippopotamus.
Geoffery comes from South Africa. He once lived in Liverpool but lost a bet, forcing him to move halfway across the world. His favourite color is magenta.
Geoffery has amnesia from an accident during the boat ride to Canada. We are still trying to remember his last name.
My lover bought me Geoffery the Hippopotamus today. Geoffery is almost as cuddly as Boyfriend.

Deism Defined
Deism is a natural religion. Deists believe in the existence of God, on purely rational grounds, without any reliance on revealed religion or religious authority. Because of this, Deism is quite different from religions like Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The latter are based on revelations from God to prophet(s) who then taught it to humans. We like to call natural religions as “bottom-up” faiths and revealed religions as “top-down.”
Beliefs and Practices:
- Most Deists believe that God created the universe, “wound it up” and then disassociated himself from his creation. Some refer to Deists as believing in a God who acts as an absentee landlord. A few Deists believe that God still intervenes in human affairs on rare occasions.
- They believe that the only pathS towards knowledge are logic and reasoning.
- They respect the holy texts of other religions, like the Torah, Christian Scriptures (New Testament) and Qur’an. However, they believe that these books are errant because they were written by humans; they do not believe that any of these books can be considered inerrant, inspired by God or the Word of God.
- They believe that miracles do not happen. The “world operates by natural and self-sustaining laws of the creator.“ That is, the world continues to function under the same laws that God initially established.
- They do not view God as an entity in human form.
- Deists hold diverse beliefs concerning the exact nature and attributes of God.
- They believe that one cannot access God through any organized religion, set of beliefs, rituals, sacraments or other practice.
- God has not selected a chosen people (e.g. Jews or Christians) to be the recipients of any special revelation or gifts.
- Deists generally deny the existence of the Trinity as conceived by Christians. They generally view Jesus as a philosopher, rabbi, teacher and healer, but not as the Son of God. Their beliefs are similar to those of the Jewish Christians — the initial Christian movement centered in Jerusalem and led by James, the brother of Jesus.
- They believe that a practical system of ethics and a moral code can be derived from reason without the need to appeal to religious revelation and church dogma. “Most Deists believe humans are too innately noble to require supernatural coercion and threats of eternal damnation to behave morally.”
- Most Deists view God as having left his creation behind. Thus, prayer makes no sense to them. However, some pray to express their appreciation to God for his works. The latter generally do not ask for special privileges, or try to assess the will of God through prayer, or ask God to perform miracles.
- Most Deists do not actively evangelize the public.
“My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God. ” Albert Einstein.
“What is faith? Is it to believe that which is evident? No. It is perfectly evident to my mind that there exists a necessary, eternal, supreme, and intelligent being. This is no matter of faith, but of reason.” Voltaire

While researching polygamy and human rights in Canada you never know what to find. I was a bit shocked that the following was a criminal offense. Does this happen in Canada? I’m too busy to start looking into that because I don’t want get further off track. What about weddings?

First week of school = rather disappointing. I am over undergraduate stuff and it makes me miserable. I don’t want to be in anymore classrooms. I just want to research and write. Miserable.
The busier campus is the more alone I am. I get it – everyone is best friends and loves it here. Puke. Maybe if I had friends I wouldn’t be such a scrooge. Who knows. This place is getting on my nerves and I’m ready to move on.
Classes are fine. It is just one big review for me which inspires very little. I really wanted this year to be about new information and this semester doesn’t seem to be that. Boring.
Life sucks. Everyone should probably kill themselves. Where’s my Kool-Aid?

First day of Fall Semester. I’ve been awake since 3 am. This shouldn’t be that exciting because I’ve been in school all Summer. Nevertheless, I am still awake hours earlier than necessary.
There is only Mr. Grumpy…but this is true too.
Apparently cartoon men only get grumpy.
I found my Halloween costume though. It had been there on my pajama pants all along.
I wish I had a baby to stick in one of these costumes. A cheaper giant teddy bear.

Okay. It’s official. I hate this “holiday” weekend because it is also “First Contact” for first-year residents. I know, I know – it’s my choice to live on campus but FUCK. The parking lot is full and does anyone have a parking permit? No. There are lineups out and around corners because everyone arrives on the same Saturday. What’s worse than a first-year? An IDIOT CL (Community Leader). They must have received training in social awkwardness because that is all they are good for. It seems Res Life has immature dorks leading seventeen-year-old babies into a life of Hell. Cult alert. I was accosted getting out of my car. Change that – they must have been trained by Jehovah Witnesses because fuck, these retards are clingy. When I was seventeen and moving into residence the last thing I wanted was my hand held. “Hi, do you see these people? My Parents! Thanks, I got enough annoynaces up my butt right now.” What. A. Nightmare. I also noticed the other CL’s who weren’t stalking the parking lots or entrances were just standing around!! Uhhhhh Losers! Way to make yourselves super unapproachable by gathering in groups. What child is going to go up and talk to that? I hate them.
I hate the outdoors. To me the outdoors is where the car is.
