Sex God Book
The man is saying that you can't help what happens sometimes. At schoolies, you act on instinct and as such, act 'Like an animal'. As human beings, we should have self control and control our desires and urges. Sometimes we act like animals, but not always.
Reflection: before acting like an animal, when your human side comes in, you should not only think about the physical, but also the emotions, feelings, thoughts, mentally and spiritually
Something that takes over you like lust can influence you and take over you. Lust promises something that it can't deliver in the end. You need self control. Some strong feelings can over power you, and you shouldnt let it do that
I think that what the author is saying is true, some strong feelings, whether they are lust, envy, anger, guilt or anything at all take over you and can influence you strongly.

Relationships/ sexuality
Explanations
-We've been less than human if we regard people like the way The man did. We need to be mindful of people. You shouldn't exploit people, because you would be exploiting yourself, even if you don't know it. It's your decision whether your good or bad, and what you bring into the world
- if it's just physical sex, there is no connection, and you feel nothing strong about it afterwards
- to have a complete relationship with god, you need to be able to believe and accept anything
- human beings are able to think about what they are doing sexually. Animals cannot think sexually, and therefore act on instinct
Reflections
- I think that once he realized what he was doing, and then helped the young women in the rural areas, he began to realize that he wanted to chance to be good
- If people Just have sex for sex, they are going to be lonely. And really, they are not getting anything out of sex except for the pleasure
- I dont think that you need to accept yourself before you can have a Proper relationship with God. You may not accept yourself, but pray to God to change you. You may be happy how you are now. But be happier if things in your life Changed.
- I think that humans can also act on instinct, sometimes resulting in good or bad.

Christian ideas and concepts of suffering
God can interfere via miracles; however generally he doesn't interfere with human activity and the consequences of sin.
I like this statement, and I do believe in miracles. I guess you could callus random acts of kindness, as many of these miracles a rare but I believe they do happen
God is active in the world through his believers. In many disasters and tradagies god is active through the hands and feet and skills of his people
I find this challenging to believe because most of the time, these disasters don't have enough money to fully rebuild themselves and many people die and so Many bad things happen that he should want to stop

Isabel Allande
Different veiw on birth and death. You shouldn't fear death- she over came it. She grew through the pain and suffering of alot of the events in her life.
Guilt
Is guilt ever appropriate? Could guilt be good for you?
Guilt could be good for you because it might make you confess to something that will help you in the long run. Guilt is good because it is an emotion that makes you feel something that even if you don't confess, you know you babe done something wrong. I think guilt is appropriate.

Science and Religion
What areas of life do you think science is useful? In what areas do you think accidence has nothing to contribute?
Science is useful for factual 100% sure material, backed up my years if research and experiment and former knowledge that was formed overtime. Non science is useful for concepts that cannot be backed up. Science can be ideas.

The Riddle Of Suffering
Do you think god cares about our suffering?
Yes, I think god cares about suffering because he suffered a lot for us, but also, if he cares about our suffering then why does he makes suffer? Maybe he thinks it is only a small amount of suffering compared to what he suffered.
Do you agree that if there is no God, 'everything that happens- good or bad - must be thought of as the result of the random mindless Wastage of evolution?
I believe in karma, if I do something bad or that I regret and something happens to me, I'll think it's karma. I think that karma happens at different levels. Evolution might have happened because we needed to grow foreward for other things in this life to happen
