I've been reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, and like The Da Vinci Code it has a lot to say based on religion, especially Catholicism and Christian beliefs in general. Before I began my Dan Brown addiction, which started with Digital Fortress, I was told (especially by my dad) about how The Da Vinci Code should not be read by Christians because it contradicts the Bible and what we're taught. Seeing as it's been an international best-seller and it bags out Christianity and claims that what we believe in isn't true, there's been a lot of debate and anger and ya. So many articles have been written regarding the claims in the book, especially about what is actually fact and what's fiction (Google it and a lot will come up).

Well I couldn't stand away from the international best-selling book, so I read it after a while, trusting my faith wasn't going to be swayed by a book. It got me thinking a lot. It was hard to separate fact from fiction, especially considering Dan Brown was pretty biased and has an incredible imagination. Can't escape the fact that it was a great read though. x)

Brown's basically giving us the impression that in order to have a religion, we need to fully base it on our faith and believe. That the scientific and historical information we have found don't work at all with a religion, and that we need to abandon reason to have faith. When I started reading Angels and Demons, D.B. brings in a character who is a scientist, yet a devout Catholic, and believed science could work with religion.

Science and religion are not at odds. Science is simply too young to understand.

I was kinda surprised Dan Brown would present the idea in this book, but he did. :) No, we don't have all the facts yet, but when we do and the world is old enough to understand, it'll all fit. til then we should just focus on the relationship we have with our God, rather than the man-made concept of 'religion'.

YEAR TWELVE GRADUATED TODAY.
TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY OF TERM THREE, YEAR 9 2009.
and time is going fast.

how long ago was it when michelle left our school? when you and i shared the same thoughts, beliefs, feelings? when we came through the big green gates of high school, little punks jumping with excitement for 'period one', our very first (subject) period of our lives (and the timetables that came with them that we colour-coded joyously). how long ago was it that one of the most important people in my life told me that God was telling them that He was going to take that person from the face of this earth soon, to be with Him in heaven?

how am i supposed to take that? "that's great!" i guess it is, honestly, i was REALLY happy inside. from that person's eyes, i could tell how happy they were, so sure and faithful. so excited. they really wanted to be up there, away from here. it just confirmed to me that it really was going to happen, and of course i kinda went a little emotionally haywire, who wouldn't?

it's been around a few weeks... maybe over a month now. yup, that person told me on 31st of augusto, about their dream on the 30th of august.
and ever since then, I'd always be checking on that person to see if they might have been hurt, or had a random heart attack. if they're not at home, maybe they're working too hard, a little too hard for their health. maybe they're straining themselves. maybe they're so tired, that they won't focus on the road properly. maybe. maybe. maybe. what if, what if...?

not now, not now. i trust His timing, i trust He'll take that person when the time is right. even if don't know so at the time. just gotta tank myself up and be prepared. :)
