I can tell you what I don't live for.  I don't live to reflect on my life from the point of view of a martian or a disembodied intellect.

Now, you're just repeating yourself. Tongue


I don't get what Sappho is saying, do you?  Is he just frustrated that we don't accept the way he frames our choices?   Undecided

I'm not in the least frustrated.
Where do you get that from? :p

You get a definite thumbs up for Terry Pratchett.  Beyond Good Omens, I've never read Neil Gaiman.

His graphic novels are what he's most known for. Really, all I read beyond good omens is his short story collections.

Also, the foreword for GO got me paranoid and I read it at least monthly but I don't let anyone else have it.

I live to enjoy life, and hopefully to enrich the lives of others through teaching, as well as enjoying time with my family. Especially my husband and our children.

Neil Gaiman is still best known for his Sandman graphic novels, though they made his stories Coraline and Stardust into pretty good movies.

I enjoy his books, especially American Gods, but what got me started reading Gaiman was my fandom of Tori Amos, who is a friend of his, and who mentioned his short story Snow, Glass, Apples in one of her songs. Read it for yourself; it's only 6 pages long, and still one of my favorites.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
