Maybe I'm not remembering this correctly, but I seem to recall from my Bible School years the story of Job (pronouned Jobe). In the story Job has great faith & love for God, and the Devil says to God that the only reason that people like Job are faithful to God is because God blesses their lives. God proves the Devil wrong by hurting Job & his family, to which Job still prclaims his love for God. It just came to me that God may have won the argument, but he was actually played by the Devil. If God was right about Job he didn't have to prove anything to the Devil, but he gave in, and he forced people to suffer needlessly, just to prove the Devil wrong. That's pathetic, and it's not love. God apparently has an ego that blinds it to common sense.

Think of it this way. The devil says to me that my friends only love me because I'm kind to them. I hurt them to prove this is not the case - and it's ok that I hurt them - after all - I love them. That's sick, and it's wrong - and no point you could make by those actions is worth proving. If I'm remembering this correctly (& it's possible that I'm not), than God is an ass. Not really a surprise, I guess. How do people respect a guy who does this shit, just so he can hobnob with otherworldly types at the watercooler, about how wrong they are? erg.

See. I have random thoughts.

I need to cleanup my room & start boxing up my books. My DVD shelves will be here tomorrow, which I should be excited about, but it just makes me nervous, because I'm afraid their going to be tacky, and that I won't like them. Plus, they'll probably arrive when I'm sleeping - as I've been sleeping until about 3pm, and I work at 7pm. erg.

I feel like I should go out. I haven't been out since Monday, and it might be good for me. I'm feeling a bit claustrophobic in my room. Perhaps I will, but maybe I won't. It's too early to tell.
