Well, in half an hour I need to
go to a CS51A review. Whee. I am rapidly approaching the end of my
second year of college. Whee again. Here I am today: CrotchCam,
FaceCam, and PeekabooCam. I was on the recieving end of another tract
attack today. I haven't really looked at it but I plan to. It's called
How Can I Go To Heaven?. I've just cast a cursory glance at it
and the author doesn't seem to understand that the people he wants to
convert don't already share his worldview. I don't understand why
religious people don't get this. If I want to get someone to use Linux
I don't say, "Well, Linux Journal reccommends that you use
Linux." or "Well, the LinuxStone benchmark gives Linux alone a perfect
score of 1.0." or "Well, most of the people on slashdot.org use
Linux." It just doesn't work that way. I also don't think religious people have
really thought about what heaven entails. Can you think of anything
you like doing so much that you would never get bored doing it? The
key word is never. We are not talking about some place you go
for a couple billion years and have some fun and then you're
done. You're stuck there forever. My claim, based on observation, is that
when you die, that's it. Is that really so bad?
Think of the alternative. Thu Jun 11 1998 12:00:
I'm sorry you have to die but we all have to die.
