I am struggling with idea of right and wrong being a gray area. It is "wrong" in the eyes of society as a whole to kill another person solely because the majority of people are religious and that is wrong to the majority.

This notion of nonreligious judgement seems to interfere with the international moral code that is socially regulated.
Is it possible that the extinction of certain people could help to further humanity rather than hinder it? Is it possible that when God is removed from the equation, the value of human life is dramatically diminished to the mechanical level through which the most useless members of society can be identified and removed. Even the most obvious evils, like murder, are called into question. However if the belief in God, or some higher being, is removed then there is no reason to comply with these standards. What is the right thing? can we really make that distinction? are we qualified to determine what is "wrong"? In light of morality, yes, we have the obligation to realize the code of ethics, let's say, recognized by those who believe in a higher power. Chase and Catherine and I all wrote notes on the inside cover and I'm going to give it to her on the day of the exam which is nexttt friday. :) Catherine bought the golden compass book and we're going to give it to mara as a christmas present because she has never read it and it really relates to some of the things we learned in class this semester. It was really fun and we all just kind of hung out and went over some vocab by playing this game. The game was called stars and bombs and catherine thought of playing it. It was just me, maggie, reena, catherine, the other catherine, mara, chase, marty, tom, and a couple other people who stayed. We played a review game after class was over. Mara made us cookie bars for class today with oatmeal and fudge. That I can be strong enough to accept that their is no definite answer, that I will never KNOW for sure know what the truth is. That we can never understand the answer because if we can understand it, it's not the answer. That we are constantly questioning and reevaluating and thinking that there might be something more. I don't remember the first two but the last one was that she hopes that we never find a definite answer to our theological questions. Anyway Mara said she wanted to leave us with three final thoughts. It's just like something is tugging on the inside of your throat, a dull sort of pain. the sad that makes you ache inside because you know that you are losing something so wonderful and you can't get it back. We had our last religion class today and it was so sad but not like crying sad. I guess we'll see what's more important in the end. I'm supposed to be writing a paper for english right now that's due at midnight and instead i'm on here pondering the "big questions" as i like to. I have finals this week!!!! I am so freaking out. probably because it is the great unknown. But then there is always a part of me that is a little scared i suppose. I'm not afraid to die and in fact i think i welcome it a little bit because living is just so hard sometimes and it'll be nice to have a break. so my new motto: You cannot let yourself be afraid to live, because you're afraid to die. I hope that everything works out well and we all get to go and have this wonderful experience. I have a GO! meeting tonight and I have to get my fundraising ideas together for it. Yay she said that it's weird starting all over again with a new class because they don't really know her and she was used to us by then. I went to visit mara on friday with catherine and we finally gave her the golden compass book. I like my teachers and my classes, and I don't have to get up early at all. Well, so far second semester isn't that bad. I can't apply myself when there is all this looming above me like some sort of weight about to crush me. I can't apply myself when I still don't know who i am.

get a job, do well in school, figure out how to pay for next year, what about the debt, apply, apply, apply. it's going by so quickly and the pressure just keeps building. I can't believe it's already my second semester of college.
