Name 1 Something that You are Sure of
July 23, 2013 at 1:20 pm

Religious or not I would very much relish to hear the 1 thing You are sure of. Something You know for certain. Something You clearly understand.
I myself take the side that nothing is absolute because everything moves as time advances.
As such, I am certain that no 1 thing is important. Nothing matters or has meaning to it.
A depressing view to some, but not me.

I'm fairly sure I gotta pee.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.

We are all going to die.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Death and taxes.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

I just had a Family Feud flashback. I'm sure it was unpleasant.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
