I believe in reality. Your petty insults are shallow and desperate.

Vodka.

I believe in vodka.

THE holy spirit.

If I can't believe in myself what can I believe in?

I have evidence I exist, not so your imaginary friend. I also believe that billions of other people exist, though I only have direct evidence for several thousand of them.

So, are you saying you don't believe in yourself? You know, you can see a shrink for low self-esteem issues.

My meaning in life is to fulfill our purpose as a self-replicating chemical reaction.

Its horrible how they think for themselves,and are able to come to a sensible conclusion.The most frightening thing...the fact they feel like they can decide what kind of meaning they're lives have

The horror... oh the horror.

People believe in whatever they have good reason to believe.
Sometimes this "good reason", as subjective as it is, is viewed as a "bad reason" by others.
Still they trudge on with their "good reason".
Sometimes, due to extra information or simple peer pressure, the "good reason" is re-assessed and converted into a "bad reason".... sometimes, it's the other way around.

Ah... over-generalizations are fun!


Surely, even Hitler must have had his "good reasons" to eradicate certain populations.

Back when I was a Christian, I used to permanently worry about whether I was on God's path for my life, or taking the wrong road unintentionally. Now I don't have to worry about that anymore. No one can give my life meaning and purpose, but myself. I decide what path I want to take, how many, how fast or slow, etc. It's frightening at times, not having a "safety net" anymore, but oh so beautifully liberating.

I believe we have a lot more to learn.


I must admit, I like vodka and female full frontal nudity too.

lol, i knew in the 5th grade that if I took the wrong path ... god wouldn't care that much.

That being said, anybody that hold to the notion "Nobody but me! ... I pick my path" needs to be watched. To see if they understand what is going around them.

its why we have 911.
