I'm taking a World Religions class, as part of my humanities requirement. The class itinerary, by itself, is brilliant. We'll be covering most of the major religions and there's even going to be an in-depth research project with field trips and power-points. 'This is cool,' I tell myself.
Unfortunately, the more-vocal individuals in the class, have taken it upon themselves to nitpick certain points of religious worship. I'll assume they are atheist. Takes one to know one. As an atheist, myself, it's upsetting. That form of condescension is backwards-thinking and counter-productive, especially when they've dished out $300 for a class that stresses 'humanities.' (joke's on them) Anyways, I'm certain they're a decent lot. I don't know their situation. Maybe one of their family members were killed by an extremist zealot or maybe they were forced to do the rosary after every confession by their orthodox Catholic parents.
On a lighter, note, do you see that pic on top? That's my dream home, Singapore. Authentic Indian curry, popiah, kopi tiams. Food aside, the city has a strict policy on gum & littering (a fine of $2000 USD *ouch*) and exceptional, liberal research labs. (Bioplis) The primary language is English and Mandarin. (gotta learn the latter and master the former) After earning my doctorate, look for me in Singapore. (presumably 200 pounds heavier and very, very happy)
I'm going to take it easy and enjoy the rest of the weekend. Cheers! :)
