Wyrd: Sure, I didn't mean to say I would literally rest after I die, it was just a figure of speech. I mean I'm done and dusted, I have nothing more to do or experience. And of course, I won't exist to be aware that I won't have anything to experience.

It is very hard to think in terms of not existing. The mind seems to have a sort of fail safe which says, "What the fuck man? Get back to work!"

Ah, good old unsupported assertions. The bread and butter of a person with nothing meaningful to say.

I'm going to throw my video I made recently in here again for kicks. Religion is full of empty words I'm afraid. Trying to scare me with it is like trying to knock over a lorry with a tomato in a sock.

Just kidding but it did make me laugh.  It does indicate how brainwashed we are about so many things that we can't even express ourselves without giving credence to the very things that we don't believe in.

Sure Smile

Yeah, words just don't work do they? They always seem to carry an implication of "something going on".

I guess it makes sense that the brain has no way to think about itself in the case where it no longer functions, because in that case, it would no longer be functioning and so couldn't access the protocol anyway...

I need to lie down.

What do you expect?  That faction was in absolute power for so long that it's been built into our language and set in stone at every cardinal point of our lives.  This is the greatest affrontery  of faith, imo.  They poisoned -all- the wells.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
