First off I noticed the back grounds and themes have been upgraded. This forum must have gotten a new dedicated server. Either that or a spot of brilliance from the techs involved with this forum. Congratulations to the owner of the dedicated server! Most importantly I do understand my concept of taking the Bible as a whole instead of taking a single scripture and isolating it often offends people. I feel like if I give up now then my faith would not be a pebble much less a pebble to the power of 2. I suppose you could say my studies in the binary number system has been moving along well. So why am I here asking for advice? . Well my fathers' IT noticed my big project in sound synthesis. Said he would like to see if I could learn the material in software. The problem is that I am scared to go back to college. I rather be an assistant then to be something that required a degree. I also have my calling in becoming a published writer and a recognized artist to think about. When I look at my life I know God has called me to write and create very deep and meaningful art. Specifically in anthropomorphic anatomy. This is often times called the Furry subculture. As you may have guessed artists in this subculture span very wide. The one story that really helps me stay focused is the biographies of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. They were the closest friends that you could ever imagine. Then one day they were anything but, friends. I lost a friend to the transgender LGBT debates. He told me that he could not be friends with some one who spreads hate and lies about the LGBT. He blocked me on FB as well as broke off any connection to the Church that we went to. I stuck with my Church even though I needed to distance myself for a little while. . I started going back for College and young career Church. We call it Remix even though our thing is contemporary Christianity instead of hymnal. In simple words our lessons are based off of a theme instead of going in Chronological order of the Bibles Books. The new topic was in sexual purity. I won't go into details sense this might not be the place to. However, its got me thinking about my career life. If I go back to college I will be facing a risk of Liberal ideology being forced on me. If I am promoting my art and writing I would not be surprised if I get attacked for being Christian. The college nearby creates equal opportunity and even has connections to my Church. This would be an ideal place to try again. I failed in the past because I was in algebra where the last topic we hit was the study of x,y graphs, and systems of equations. The very next class was Pre-Calculus where the first thing we were to learn was the parent equations. I was still getting the hang of factoring polynomials. I put up a good fight until we got to synthetic division. I could not have asked for a better teacher. However, time was very limited and we had to get into regular calculus by the next semester. The final straw was when I attempted tech school. Long story short the teacher knew nothing about algebra and when I tried to learn his arrhythmic the teacher refused to talk to me after class. Said that I needed to grow up and realize no one will teach me. Either I was to pick it up or decide to leave. I mentioned this story before, but thats the jist of it. So in general I am not sure if I have a clear understanding of what path I need to take next.
