Don't get me wrong at all man. It surprised me as well that I am even on the fence about this stuff. I don't quite know exactly what it is in me that is making me even debate this stuff. My family said it's "God tapping on my shoulder" and it's shit like that that makes me feel -.- lol The very idea of believing in something that in my heart I feel isn't there baffles me. But as it was explained to me, that is what faith is all about. Believing even though you may not be able to see it. My family said that it is becaus eof God that me and my wife are together and have such a wonderful child and beautiful family and relationship. I think it is because we worked so hard on it, and click as a couple. Also, I think my seed and my wife's egg made my child, not god. LOL. But I get what they mean as sarcastic as I am about it. I just have a hard time believeing it all... but I haven't given it much of a chance in my adult life at all.... Perhaps it is just time to give it one more shot... or something. I don't know man. It's all crazy and since this weekend I have been going crazy over it. We would be teaching the Sunday School classes for the teen-age groups. Get to know the kids, teach the kids the word of god, and be holy mentors to them pretty much. The part that scares me, is that I can do this no problem. I can fake being a Christian for the sake of spreading the word and doing good things for the kids. That is no problem to me. But what does that make me? What kind of person would do that and why? And those questions I cannot answer myself... and it's why I am bugging me. I can act too well, but a Christian shouldn't act. But I am not a Christian. BAH! I don't know man. Can you see my conundrum? hahahaha
To me, believing in something you can't prove is just plain bullshit. Most Christians would start telling me how God fills them with faith, but that's something I can't believe, and I rather think that they just feel more comfortable that way. If I were you, I wouldn't do it. It just wouldn't feel right to me. :|
Exactly my thoughts, and the main reason why I have had trouble believing in religion in general, not to mention Christianity. I dunno man. And yeah I don't know how I would feel once I started doing it and got more involved in it. I would not feel guilty acting the part, as there are troubled kids that need some kind of direction, and if Christianity is where they want to turn to, by all means that is on them. I just have trouble figuring out why this has all been even contemplated in my head as of late. What the f*cking f*ck is going on with me anymore?? LOL
But there are other people who could give that guidence to them, people who really believe in it. Meh, no idea. I pretty much came to peace with what I think is true or right (which by the way is really weird in my age, I think >.<). But I guess your goal shoukd be to decide this, mainly because thinking about this kind of stuff is no fun at all.
The problem is there really isn't. they have been trying to find people perfect for the Sunday School services for years now, and they have had people but no one close to the right age they want, let alone the outreach they want. The town we live in is small, so they just have a hard time finding people. That's where we come in. But I still am not sure if I really want to do it. Like I said before... deep down in my heart I know that religion is just.... bullshit. lol no other way to explain it. I was at peace just fine. Mind my own business, keep to myself about it unless it was brought up, had the occasional argument with my mother (she's a hardcore Christian) and left things alone. But it wasn't untill this weekend that I started debating it again. I decided what I felt and thought about religion at your age too, maybe a couple years younger when it happened but yeah. I dunno. Thinking about it all is definitely no fun at all.
Oh, that isn't an easy situation, then. Isn't there some other way to help those kids? Some other organization? Too bad you started doubting it, then. Being in a Christian family probably doesn't help with this. As a lighter topic.. My earphones died and I'm planning on getting a new pair. Any recommendations?
I am not sure. I would really like to see and find the ones that have musical interests and teach them how to play instruments to be in a band. Bands are always fun, and its a great outlet of positiveness. My mother has always tried to get me back into the "Light of Faith" but I just don't know if I can do it. On a side note, I think I am going to go to Church this Sunday. Meet some people, talk with some people and see what I come up with. This shit is crazy hahaha. That sucks your earphones died, but how much are you willing to spend?
Maybe you could somehow arrange, that the church lets you do that? Since it is nothing that's against Christianity, and would help them focus on a positive thing. That's weird. I have been to church since my christening, I think. Like, $50 or so, maybe a little more. What I didn't like about my old one, was the far too heavy bass sound.
Yeah that's possible. Last time I went to Church was this past Thanksgiving Day, and that was only to eat. LOL Before that? Have no idea. Well before I had these I had these. Cheap and perfect with great equilization of everything honestly. Not overly bass heavy thats for sure. Never had a problem with them at all. Though my new ones have great amounts of bass (I prefer it actually) but works well when you have your iPod equilizer set to "Treble booster". Perfect sound for me. For recording though, I use these lol. If I could take them everywhere and not feel like a retard wearing them, I would.
And now you just decided to go again? : D Yeah, Sonys aren't bad, had a pair of in-ears by them, sounded alright, but they're dead now also. The problem with most cheap ones is the missing dynamics, at least for me.Even my cheap-as-hell Sennheiser headphones I use at home do a better job than most. Listening to 'To Empires Forlorn' by While Heaven Wept. Except for some parts, it's an UPLIFTING doom album. Weird. Great, though.
Yup! ^.^ Yeah Sennheiser are great though no matter what imo. Like I said though, I can't really suggest a whole lot without spending the big bucks. To me it's worth it 110% if you can spare the cash. Which is hard to come by anymore hahaha. Yeah Uplifting Doom metal is a hilarious concept but they do do it great. I'm listening to some Dead Kennedys right now. =D
Yeah, they are great quality, but the one that died was a cx300 and the bass totally ruined that for me. And I would spend more, if I had. >.< Most people consider me insane for wanting to spend 50 on this.. No idea if I could even hear the differences between the cheaper and the more expensive ones - I'm in no way an audiophile. Yeah, it's kind of the same as depressing power metal or Christian black metal.. At least in a way. :Đ
I can but that's only because I was raised by a damn equilizer nut. My father was insane about 2 things: The quality of sound and the quality of drinking water. lmfao both rubbed off on me. hahaha yeah seriously.
: DD Till a certain point, I probably could too. I think luistening to music with a lot of detail helps this.. So no suggestions at the price? What's the cheapest you know an actually great one?
Sorry, I completely forgot to post that. My best suggestion would be these. Great quality sound, perfect range for all types of music (especially the mid-high trebles like in Power Metal). Not to mention they are comfy as f*ck. I had a pair but I gave them to a cousin of mine when I got my Dre headphones.
Ah, these look awesome, but I can't find them anywhere online. And I don't have time for the shipping stuff... :/ Maybe anything like these? And are those Dre ones so good?
I will look tomorrow for you for some online if I can. I forgot about the geographical differences though.. Dre ones are by far the best In-Ear headphones I have ever come across. Pricey, but well worth it. However, like i said before, I do like me some good bass, and they are great for it particularly. With the iPod Equilization setting to Treble Booster, everything sounds, quite literally, perfect.
Sounds good, thanks! Or maybe I'll find these somewhere nearby.. I hope.. That's goood. Weird though, I always pictured those as a piece of shit with a big brandname.
So, not in a good mood, eh? And also, you're here late! :x As for earphones - from Amazon, I'd have to pay ~$87, and it's not even sure it'd arrive (since the Hungarian post sucks). Really crappy situation. All we've got here is Sony, AKG and Sennheiser, maybe a few ones of smaller companies. :\
