So it's been a while. Not dead, no ... not really in the mood to type out my dreams. I know, that was the reason why I started this online journal thing - to tell dreams, get feedback on them, and perhaps find people who have had similar experiences. This week has been somewhat ... bad. I guess. It's been long and tiresome. I'm exhausted. Don't really want to explain. Got into a discussion with my religion professor about Jesus, though - because of a question that was on the test (midterms week). About how Christianity is supposed to be a monotheistic religion, but it's really not. Monotheism is ... Islam. "There is no God but God and Muhammad is his prophet." That's it. But in Christianity you have the Trinity. Three parts, yet they are all the same god. I just don't get it. How can God exist in Heaven at the same time that Jesus walked the earth? If he existed up there and down here, PLUS there's this other part of him floating around called the "Spirit" - then ... wouldn't that make him three? Wouldn't that make it a Polytheistic religion? Arguement being "well God was manifested in Jesus like a reincarnation." Are we suggesting divine hypostasis - God incarnated in another living form - like Vishnu and Hare Krishna? Surely not - Christians will tell you otherwise. Okay, so the spirit of God was in Jesus ... if that was so, then what made Jesus so special? That would make him a god, to be a supernatural being. "But we're all God's children." If we're all touched by God, wouldn't that make us all divinely inclined thereby all of us are actually GODS?! And if I die, allowing my organs to be donated, would I, in a sense, elude death by living on in the next person through my organs? Needless to say, after the conversation was over, I felt pretty good. Not because I'd proven a point or anything, but because I'd actually had an intellectually-stimulating philosophical conversation. It's like ... when you run for a really long, long time and you're so tired - but you finally achieve your goal and fall over to rest and get water and all of that. My brain needs complexity to function. Most anyone can tell you that. I'm not satisfied unless I'm involved in a perplexing or complicated situation/converation, or I'm multitasking. And ... with that being said, and this entry hitting a declining curve, I feel the sudden urge to watch The Last Emperor ... might go out and get that. Blessed be.
