Philosophy of Religion exam --TZPermalink

Man, that exam was pretty difficult. Still, I struggled through, despite my body conspiring against me (damn my throat and back pain). Four pages on Dostoevsky. Not something I thought I'd be writing as part of a philosophy class, but, hey. Life throws unexpected stuff at you.

In a little while, I'm going to Simon Blackburn's guest lecture. In the meantime, go and read this. Admittedly, I haven't read it. But that's because I have certain tingling pains all over this body of mine and a mind that really needs sleep (tis aspiring towards the Form of rest... just a little joke!).

I might have to cancel my trip to Southall's mosque this Saturday, since my grandparents are coming over. And, despite their humoured reluctance towards my atheism, I think the thought of me visiting a mosque might just send them over the edge! Heh heh. All in the name of Enlightenment, I say. Anyway, the weekend also has the Darwin Day lecture on Friday night. James Moore and Richard Dawkins talk about Darwin's legacy with special regard to religion at the LSE.

Sunday is my birthday. If you have a desire to buy me something, here's my Amazon.co.uk Wish List and here's my Amazon.com Wish List. If you want to send me some money, PayPal it. Okay, begging over. I'll be 20. Which gives me the exclusive privilege to slag off 'teens' with impunity, since I won't be one.

I also have Tuesday and Wednesday off next week. As of tommorow, I've got a six day weekend. Ownage. In that time, I have an interesting decision I have to make. Say no more. It may involve renegotiating on a moral principle that I hold fairly dear. Long time blog readers may be able to guess what it is. But everyone else will have to wait.

On Friday night, Infidel Guy has got Nick Matzke from the NCSE to talk about evolution and the fundy challenges to the teaching of said subject. Should be interesting. Make sure you tune in and join the chatroom.
