Today I woke up with the biggest hangover. Last night I went to a party thrown by some of Aaron’s friends. It was a really good time. I tried hard to stay away from hard liquor because of my last couple of experiences which ended with me throwing up on everyone and everything. So this time I decided to just sit back and drink a few beers. I still got wrecked, but I guess it worked because I managed to keep my stomach contents inside of me.

I got into another fight with my father today. He saw that I was reading his bible and got excited. I guess he thought I was reading for some sort of spiritual purpose. In a way he was correct, but it wasn’t the spiritual sense he was hoping for. I started asking him some questions about the thoughts and questions I had about his religion. I could immediately sense the tension just by looking at his eyes. It is impossible to speak to the man. Especially about these matters.

My father once told me, “Have faith in your own religion.” Is it really my religion? How did I choose it? Do I really have a choice? How do we know which religion is right? How does God make his decision about who goes to heaven and hell?
