Movies: ~It's escapist shit of a feeble kind, a fucked up institution for fucked up minds. Holy Matrimony is a Blissful Myth, wholly based on tradition, wholly based on bullshit. Think you love each other, think you're so in touch, but its the shit institution you love so much. Is your caring so stifled, so perverted, and sick? That you need vows and duties so that it won't slip? You make your love secure but what of respect? Does it only exist as another truth to forget? So your limited caring is the best you can give, smeared with lies and traditions behind which you live. Holy matrimony is a blissful myth. Wholly based on tradition, wholly based on bullshit.****** -Blissful Myth by Rudimentary Peni~

"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones." ~ Marcus Aurelius "Man is the religious animal. He is the only religious animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion...several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and then cuts his throat, if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven." -Mark Twian "It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." -Carl Sagan * Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer. * In the same way that one child in school does more thinking than a 1000 children sitting in church. --------------------- Ideas not Ideals Secular not Sectarian Theory not Theology * You have the right to speak, You do not have the right to be heard. * Religion is not sacred, It merely hijacks what is sacred to humanity. * Freedom of speech means nothing without freedom of thought. * Evolution is scientific fact, Natural selection is the theory. * Knowledge is gained from a book, But wisdom is gained through life. * (above personal quotes from YT'er InstinctandIntellect) ------------------------ 10 Tenets Of Skepticism by BGH 1 - I do not need the opiate they call religion, for I shall hold nothing on faith alone. I will require evidence, reason and critical thought to arrive at conclusions. 2 - Because I may know your holy book better than you does not mean I am repressing a hidden inner 'true' belief in your deity, it means that I care if what I believe is true. I will spend time and energy looking into claims to verify there is substantial reason to believe and when there is not I will abandon those beliefs. 3 - I will not only research and investigate one side of an issue, I will try to inform myself of many facets of a topic. 4 - I shall hold arguments from popularity as irrelevant. How many people believe a 'thing' does not necessitate 'truth'. 5 - I shall dismiss arguments from ignorance. Because we do not know the true cause does not infer that a supernatural or pseudo-scientific explanation is the correct one. 6 - I believe extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. 7 - My systematic doubt is not a negative, it is an asset, along with continuous inquiry, for I value the truth. 8 - "We don't know", is a perfectly acceptable answer instead of a made-up one. I accept that there are limits to our knowledge at this time. 9 - I shall exhibit a joy and wonder in learning about the world while trying to keep at bay emotion driven thinking. 10 - I will question, question, question, question, question, question, question... ---------------------------------- "This is the era of petty kingdoms and a new dark age. But I ask you, my friends, did not we need precisely this war? Shall we be governed by injustice and superstition or shall we be governed by reason? Mankind is the animal that invented knowledge,(he has become strong through technology, because in truth, he is the weakest and most frightened animal, and this is why we are so clever) there is nothing we cannot do! Think to yourself for a second that we are just animals, and look at what promise we have, we happy few! Take heart my friends for we shall conquer! Ask yourself this: what kind of person needs a god, what sort of animal needs dogma? Up here the air is crisp and clear, we are brave enough to admit our ignorance, and still have respect for each other. Down there in the cities men still Believe, but is not all that buzzing and jumping around like the deeds and words of insects?" ~ diogeneslaertius666 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "If you're doing business with a religious son-of-a-bitch, get it in writing. His word isn't worth shit. Not with the good lord telling him how to fuck you on the deal." ~ William Burroughs
