All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies:
Well, Ubersite, it's been a while. I know, I know, I haven't called as often as I said I would, and I hardly ever post anymore, unless you count blank posts and inside jokes, in which case I've posted twice not too unrecently.
But here I find myself on a Friday afternoon, bored. And not even bored at work. Despite having a supposedly full-time job, I've worked an hour and a half this past week. Yes, aren't I a productive member of society.
Seeing as how I have nothing better to do with my time than drivvel away on a website who cares less for my opinion on topics ranging from Abortion to ZZ Top than the disgruntled mail room employee at the local post office, I figured I would enlighten all you kind individuals (as well as the fucking pricks and assholes holding the majority on Ubersite, not to mention life) as to why everyone is wrong about religion except me (and people who agree with me).
Basically, all major religions are wrong. There is no god. God does not exist. And why don't we just throw Allah, Yahweh, Jehovah, Shiva, Ganesh, Krishna, Satan, and all those other crazy gods who aren't important enough for me to remember their names under the vast umbrella of "God". I won't dispute the existance of historical figures such as Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Rasputin, the Dalai Lama, Joseph Smith, Paul Revere,Tom Cruise, Jerry Garcia, Sir Isaac Newton, and Genghis Khan. Because they were all just fucking bonkers (especially Tom Cruise), although American Beauty was a great album.
Anyway, my beliefs are based in FACT. Irreputable FACT. Not really. And not really to the majority of what everything I've already said. Except Tom Cruise really is fucking bonkers and American Beauty IS a great album.
In order to understand life, existance, and everything, like I do, you mustr first grasp Newton's first law of physics (or maybe his second or third, I forget which one it is). Neither matter nor energy can be created or destroyed. And apparently all matter is is tiny particles of energy imitating matter. Now I don't pretend to understand that, but I do.
There is no afterlife. There's hardly any such thing as life. Sure, we humans have come up with this definition of "life" that I learnt in the sixth grade or something, like, if it eats, moves, grows, breathes, and does something else, then it's alive. But whatever.
So science has shown us when look closer an organsism, let's say a human being, is made up of smaller organs, and those organ are made up of other stuff which are all made up of molecules, which are made up of atoms, which are made up of protons and electrons, which are made up of quarks, which are made up of all this other crap and it keeps on getting smaller.
Conversely, organisms make up environments, which make up planets and moons, which make up solar systems, which make up clusters and galaxies, which make up the universe. And hell, there might be more shit beyond that, like dimensions and planes of existance.
So you got the microscopic and the macroscopic, both ends of the spectrum and us, right in the middle of it. Like how far can you walk into the woods, right?
So, just like all the atoms of your body make up your body, all the people of the world, make up the world, and the universe and so on. It's said that on average, every person has one atom from Alexander the Great and if you go back far enough the particles that make up our bodies is just ancient stardust.
Therefore we all share the matter and energy of the universe, therefore we are all part of the universe, just smaller bits making up the whole supporting the idea that All Are One. So when we stop breathing and our hearts stop beating and we cease to live, our bodies don't go anywhere, they rot and decompose or get incinerated and the particles that made up our bodies make up different things.
Now I haven't even touched on the subject of souls, but it seems logical to me, that if twe all share the universe's collect matter and energy, then we should all share the universe's collective soul. So everything has a soul. Anything that has matter or energy shares part of the soul that encompasses everything that is.
So if when we die, our matter doesn't go anywhere but here, then neither does our soul. One importasnt thing though, is that your consciousness, your own personal ego and mind and thought processes are one in infinity. Your mind and consciousness is one completely unique thing, that does not repeat. When you die, your consciousness is no more. But life, the universe, and everything still is.
And there you have it. I don't delve any deeper than that, because none of the rest matters. You won't be punished for your sins, you won't be rewarded for your good deeds, there is no afterlife because there is no death, everything just is. Swirling endlessly around the universe.
What does that mean for me, you, and everybody. Not much really. People will continue to beleieve what they believe and worship their gods or Gods, or not. I'm not an atheist and I'm not an agnostic. Though feel free to label me as either, personally I don't pay much attention to such labels because I just don't really care. Be good, be bad, be whatever you want. I'm not advocating anarchy or a life of self-service and selfishness, I'm just saying what I'm saying.
So continue on your lives with unchanged opinions or maybe food for thought, doesn't really matter to me because honestly, I'm just trying to quell the boredom and kill some time writing this. Fuck reading over for typos.
Say hi to God for me.

I asked the I Ching and it gave this:
"Those who wander off to the swamps will find themselves alone. None will follow, and eventually none will care. Life is a dance between thirst and water. Destiny does not come looking for those who are contented in the mud."
But this is not a static stuation, for elemental awareness of current state of change it offers the following image:
"Fortify the body with food and drink, gladness and joy. Fate comes when it will, and thus you will be ready."
In the context of this post its message is obvious, don't worry too much about all the different religions, just take care of yourself and be happy, and be prepared to meet it whatever it is. Which is the positive aspect of what you were saying.

The +2 is for. . . I don't even know any more.
Some of the greatest minds this planet ever produced believed in God.
You know better than folks like Einstein? Why aren't you rich?
I dunno, maybe.
Chances are, I'm just as totally fucked up and bonkers and way off the mark as everybody else. But what's to say I'm not one of those people I was talking about who'll keep beleiving what the believe and who will keep worshiping (or not) their own gods and ideals and beliefs.
I'm almost most assuredly wrong in every way, but that doesn't change the fact that everything I said is true.

I'm not saying you're wrong. A believer in ANYTHING who does not question his beliefs from
time to time is no longer thinking.
Besides which, you need some heat. . .

None of this is true but its exactly how things are:
Computers will tap into sub atomic particles. With infinite power, we will have direct access to God, and we will reconstruct every possible form of consciousness down to the infinite degree of perfection, waking everyone up from death and focusing all energy directly into will, and it has to be good and positive and constructive for this to function, hence religion worldwide, odd concept to come out of the blue 'be good'? No, the self similar aspects of life are everywhere and take many forms. The essence is functional, for existance to exist you need three things, the firm and the yielding and the interaction between the two, the interaction which tends towards chaos is "hell" personified in the devil, and the intereaction which tends towards order is "heaven" personified as God.
crystals are beautifull
cancer is ugly
Crystalisation also implies death, static, ice.
And cancer represents decay, necessary for life.
Mysterious ways, the interaction between the two basic elements.
Thoughts of 'what if there's nothing, what if we're an accident?'
bring about hopelessness, increased chaos, the power of will, will.
Thoughts of 'we have a purpose for greater better good positive upwards increase developement'
bring about fulfillment, order, focus, one step in front of the next, ducks in a row, the power of will.
This simple element, will, might be a reason why energy has to know itself, this cycle, life, surely there are greater cycles? Cycles upon cycles? self similar to the nth degree? If it weren't fluctuating and cylical then it would imply crystalisation throughout EVERYTHING, which is something which right now at least ISN'T. There ISN'T COMPLETE crystalisation, there is flux and regeneration. Though we might be in an eddy of crap, it is at least going and turning. We have that.
Consciousness as we have it is pretty puny anyway, we will join a collective consciousness, a combined conscious will, unified and spectacular. Imagine SHARING a consciousness.
30 000 pelicans just, vanished, scattered
This is pretty fucked up right? This whole business of life?
Sometimes I can't wait to die, to find out. Why the fuck should I be afraid of the inevitable?
"We are all going to die!" What a fucked up thing to shout, anyone can shout that at any time anywhere. We are all going to die, cool, its just nasty business like a dentist appointment on a bigger scale.

Bubba, you have to be aware that that's the worst possible argument for anything, ever.
All the cool kids do it?
Shit, if your religion has to recruit by peer pressure, it's a failure.

Don't pretend to be dumb, Gofer, I know you're not. "Cool" is a certain way
of acting or dressing. A perception. It has nothing to do with intellect or
the ability to reason.
If very brilliant men such as Einstein and Thomas Jefferson believed something,
isn't it worth a deeper search?
Not if you're just messing around on a website. . .:-/

Neither matter nor energy can be created or destroyed
------
than where did it come from? We know the expansion of the galaxy is linear, so we're either heading towards entropy, or the massive black hole at the center of the universe will suck everything back up together - where did all this 'energy' come from?
