I'm trying to go to bed... Honestly I am...
But while I've been trying to get tired, I was thinking... One thing I was thinking about was abortion and religion. I believe that abortion is wrong in all cases except where carrying the child to term risks the life of the mother.
Then, thinking about the specific case where it does risk the life of the mother... If the mother is trying to find religion, then perhaps having an abortion isn't just a perfectly acceptable choice, but the right choice. Assuming aborted children all go to heaven, as they are free of sin, then wouldn't it be better for the child to automatically go to heaven and the mother have more time to reconcile with God then for the mother to neccesarily go to hell and the child to either go to heaven or hell. (Of course, this is presuming a very narrow religious perspective.)
The other thing I was thinking about... I never thought I'd say it, but right now I would rather there be no God and when I die have eternal oblivion, then to find the God that exists and go to heaven and have my dear friends and family (particularly my father) go to hell. I can't stand the thought of my dad going to hell while I'm in heaven. (Sorry for saying such weird things, Dad. I trust that you'll understand what I'm trying to say.)
Finally, not religion-related... Sometimes I wish I could just go away and escape to where no-one can contact me so I never have to hear that sad news about one of my family members. Grandparent, parent, or other. I just never want to have to deal with that - even if ignorance isn't bliss, knowledge can still be torture.
[EDIT: I definitely get a placebo effect from that medicine, as I usually sense a difference within a minute. From Wikipedia: "Lorazepam is rapidly and nearly completely absorbed after any mode of application (oral, sublingual, i.m., i.v.). The onset of action is several minutes after i.v. injections, 30 to 45 minutes after oral/sublingual administration, and up to 1 hour after i.m. injections."]
P.S. John, I finished the Gunslinger Girl and Getbackers manga you lent me. We'll have to hang out again so I can give them back - maybe over my spring break? If not, I'll just give them to Vinnie next time he comes to M.A.S. and he can give them back to you. (Or maybe I'll drop by Highland over break?)
