    Medicine

    Eurgh, I've just started Prozac as well. -_- I've been feeling increasinly down, very angry, hot and with headaches, nausea and "periods of excessive excitement". Basically I lose control of what I'm doing and start to bounce off walls. ¬_¬ There're initial side effects, as with all medicines...

    Results, anyone?

    AS exams are what you do in the 12th year of school (sixth form). If you continue these subjects into the 13th year (upper sixth form), you take A2 level exams. So, say I do Maths and Biology, and drop maths after year 12, but carry Biology into year 13. I would have an AS in Maths and an A...

    Sleep issues

    My energy levels, motivation levels etc. are shot...really screwing up my life. Seriously, I'd advise you to go and find some means of getting better, especially if you can see things getting worse. That said, it's never too late. ^__^

    Sleep issues

    If you are depressed, the subconcious levels of your brain are raised. Now, your subconcious state falls below your levels, and then oscialltes depending on which stage of sleep you are in. The final stage of sleep (where energy is restored) is represented as a rise from a valley on a curve...

    Results, anyone?

    Ooh, nice! I am so going to try to beat you though. If I continue Critical Thinking into A2, I'll have 6 A Levels... ^__^ It's going to destroy me, but it will be worth it. O_O

    Omni Benevolence

    I disagree with that. But in any case, this thread is getting far more antagonistic than I intended. I shall wander elsewhere...^__^

    Omni Benevolence

    I was speaking in terms of analogy, rather than comparison. Being a direct subordinate of God would be extrememly snazzy though. ;) I general feel nothing towards people I know nothing of. However, I take umbrage at Deities that, at the very least, fail to act in order to promote happiness in...

    Omni Benevolence

    Surely you more fear your employer than respect him? Your employer has power over you that can disadvantage you, so in that sense you fear rather than respect. Your manager could be irksome as anything and you'd still fear getting fired. I don't tend to respect anyone who has done nothing that...

    Ok... Question2: Should I respect God? He has never revealed himself to me, I only stopped believing he existed at the age of 13. The idea that suffering is "part of God's plan" makes me feel like humankind is just a big old ant farm for God to poke at for a few hundred years and then leave...

    Pokemon is actually a pretty good show

    You gotta love the monkeys...^__^

    So you should fear God; and thus have cause to respect him? Respect and Fear are not in this case hand in hand, I suppose. o_O

    Omni Benevolence

    That doesn't answer my question. XD Should we fear God?

    Omni Benevolence

    Hmm, interesting concept. But there's still far more emphasis on fear. ;)

    Omni Benevolence

    Oho! I though it might be a translation issue...but pointing that out would be self-defeatist...plus it's rather sketchy. The Bible's meaning has been "amended" infrequently, why wouldn't that have been fixed? Still, is logical, and that ruins everything. XD But I still maintain that it is...

    Omni Benevolence

    These are tow fundamental teachings that directly conflict. I can't help but see that as being a lot more than complex. It's nigh-on nonsensical. o_O

    Omni Benevolence

    But if the most common instruction is "do not be afraid", and there are all those "Fear your God!" excerpts as referenced above, things just get even more confusing and contradictory. o_O There are two extrememly common messages than both directly oppose each other. And I know "The Bible is...

    Omni Benevolence

    I was looking around the internet, typing in phrases like "cattle prod" and "angry bear", and I came across a site that presented a valid point. I'm assuming the number of points under each column is little more than a hyperbolic means of indicating such an oddity, but look: Should we fear God...

    Depression in the bible

    Clinical depression is a disorder where a chemical (Seratonin) is not transferred correctly within the brain. This can be treated with medicine, but just "thinking bright" will do absolutely nothing. In fact, it will debilitate you; you'll feel like you're living a lie. -_-

    Pokemon is actually a pretty good show

    I like the storyline, but the voice acting - however "good" it may be - ruined it for me. =_= Plus, most kid's anime are heavily censored to remove certain themes etc that are deemed unsuitable for American audiences. Curse those censors. But yers, Mewtwo was rather Snazzy. What with the "Fear...

    How long since you last self injured?

    Perfectly. :( There's a point you'll get too where you will want to stop. However, it's probably for the best you work yourself round to stopping before you reach that point. In any case, we're here for you, and there're lots of helplines and counsellors out there for when you'd rather talk to...
