Heritage Room.

I have no idea why we have to go there. It's not like the history of the Adventist church is anything special. I mean does it make sense to study the history of an organization that is based upon a hypothetical existence and being? No, I don't think so. Doing research on an organization whose foundations is based on something not of this world is the same as making things up from one's head. But since this is a so-called "Christian School" I guess it is necessary to do so. I mean it would make sense to research the history if we could prove what we are trying to research actually is based upon a concrete real thing not something abstract as the idea of "God". You can't research what you can't observe, it's just not possible. Therefore, we should just put the history of the Adventist church behind ourselves and continue with our lives which is time better spent. I mean its not like anyone cares, right? If you can, please tell me one person who goes to church for God and only God. Yeah, exactly. God is real, I just don't see the reasons necessary to conduct research on a part of His history. He's always been and always will be. Trying to figure God out is a waste of time. We just need to have faith. The only source we need is the Bible, not some crap made up by a guy that was totally wrong *ahem*William Miller*ahem*. Yeah this whole Adventist Church history is a load of crap. Maybe we should study what the course is called, History of Religion, and last time I checked Christianity/Adventism wasn't the only religion in the world. This class should have more of an anthropological approach. It should show how different civilizations and culture groups have come up with ways to explain the supernatural while still maintaining a non-ethnocentric view. And among those we could touch upon the Christian church. Many colleges offer classes like this offered through their anthropology department. I have yet to learn the history of religion. I seriously think they should rename the classes to "Bible I, II, III, IV or Adventism I, II, III, IV" or actually start teaching what the course name implies. Sigh...Loma Linda Academy disappoints yet again...no AP, limited honors courses, running out of teachers and funds and students, drug problems, crappy food, limited course selections, limited periods in which the courses are taught, it might as well be a really crappy public school almost. I should have just gone to RHS. But the people that I know here make all those negative aspects of the school irrelevant. So even if I cut my chances at a decent school and my future, I think I'll stay here. I like it here. The people that I have met, the friendships I have made, its all worth it. I'm gonna do my math homework. Hahahahah oh...I am so screwed for the test... wow I got carried away with all this writing..I'm just stressed out. I like this blog. Personal output. Hahahaha takes my mind off things. Fighting my addictions..
