  • And see, here’s the thing. I’m an athiest, but I think churches COULD be a good thing. It’s an organization that teaches people to be good people. Sure, fine, they believe there’s an all knowing invisible man in the sky that knows everything since the dawn of time. And I’ll ignore the fact that supposedly everything that happens is his plan, but also we have free will…that he planned. I’ll ignore that not making sense, because simple minded as they may be, they’re just trying to be good people. Religion helps them not struggle with the hard questions in life, and just be a human. A good human.

    Now for the part where it all comes crumbling down for me.

    I have never once met an overly religious person who wasn’t also a massive hypocrite. So now, it goes from being a person just trying to BE good, into being a person just trying to APPEAR to be a good person while hiding all the evil shit they do.

    Now, I don’t believe heaven exists. I don’t believe hell exists. I believe earth exists. I believe through the acts of chaos theory that billions of years ago a chain reaction happened in this solar system. I don’t know what led to it happening. I don’t know why it doesn’t happen in other solar systems more often. But I do believe it happened here. And then over the coarse of billions of years, and juuuuuuust the right atmospheric conditions, life exists. Life adapts. Life dies. New life emerges. And I believe that may have also happened outside of our solar system. Not humans. Some other life form. Maybe it’s a planet full of space cows. Maybe something else. Nobody knows. And I may be wrong. Maybe we are alone.

    The point is, I don’t believe there is a “good place” to go when I die that rewards my behavior in life, like an all seeing Santa Claus. Which means, when I do good things, when I do morally right things, it’s because I’M the one who determined them to be the right thing to do. I decided that it needs to be done. Not because I’ll get rewarded later, but because it’s the right thing to do.

    Now, if I decide to do bad things, I also don’t believe I’ll be held in some firey eternity. I don’t believe I’ll be punished post death for anything I’l done. I don’t believe Hitler went to hell. Not because he doesn’t deserve it (if it were real, he absolutely does). I just don’t think anybody gets praised or punished or exists at all post death.

    But that’s not how these people see it. From their perspective, they know they’re doing wrong. Their god knows they’re doing wrong. Their church knows they’re doing wrong too! So wouldn’t that imply this all goes towards their sins list?

    But then I get told that sinners can just repent for all their sins, and be accepted into heaven.

    Soooooooo…literally your entire life, all your beliefs, all your good deeds, all your bad deeds, all the time in church, all the time praying, it was all one MASSIVE waste of time. Me being an athiest, could repent for all my sins, never having believed in god my whole life, and I’d be let in.

    So really, them taking these books doesn’t mean a damn thing to them, until they get the same treatment done to them. Then suddenly we’re the sinners. We’re going to hell.

    See? Hypocrites.



  • I wouldn’t get a television. I would get a monitor. No UI. No smart features. Just a black square that had HDMI inputs.

    If you really want to watch OTA TV, you can buy box tuners that connect to the HDMI. Usually with DVR capability.

    It will cost more. Like…a LOT more. But thats just what regular TVs used to cost back in the 90s. You wanted a bigscreen tv? $800 then, which would be like $2,000 now. And “big screen” was like 55 inch. Though it was a 4:3 ratio. So 55 inch then wold be more like 70 inch now in a 16:9 ratio.














  • Now I’m just imagining Stanley Kubrick getting his start in porn.

    “Cut!!! The lighting is wrong. Who is handling the lighting??? It’s all wrong! It doesn’t invite me into the scene! Look at this lighting! Would YOU become entranced into a sexual encounter??? We’re making art here people! We’re making cinema! We’re making magic! Remember, Anal Sluts 9 will be the pornographic masterpiece that will be heralded among future generations! That’s what’s at stake here. That’s why we’ve all gathered here today. So if I say the lighting is off, then I EXPECT SOMEONE TO FIX THE GOD DAMN LIGHTING!!! LETS GET IT RIGHT PEOPLE!!! Aaaaand go again. Take 537…ACTION!”
