Religion (6/7/01)
Now as you may very well know, I'm an atheist. I've been one since the day my uncle died after a long and painful struggle with cancer. He was perhaps the nicest most gentle person that I've encountered in my 22 years. I prayed to god many times during the course of his illness. . . To no avail. When my uncle died I made the decision that god couldn't exist and if by some chance he did, he could go fuck himself, because I wanted nothing to do with him. I was 8.
Religion has been around since the dawn of man. It's had many purposes, but they almost all fall under a single category. Coping. Religion is the great crutch of humanity that is used to explain the unexplainable and to provide a suitable reason for horrible events in an unjust world. Throw a group of young children in the middle of the Amazon jungle and come back 20 years later. They'll be worshiping something. The god of rain, thunder, lighting, wind, etc. . . Why? Because they don't understand the processes that take place to produce those phenomena. And they'll believe that their loved ones have some sort of afterlife. Why? Because it's a pretty shitty thought to think someone you loved and cared about is lying beneath the earth simply decomposing.
I'm an atheist, but you know what? I've read the bible from cover to cover. It's a fucking bloodbath. How much murder takes place in the bible in the name of religion. How much of it is under the direct command of god? Quite a bit. Read the bible sometime, you'll find that your god is a selfish, arrogant, self serving and arrogant prick. I kid you not.
Man needs to believe in something grander than themselves. They can't handle the thought of how insignificant life is at times. At how horrible things, happen to good people and there is no reprieve for them. How it's not for some greater good that a 3 year-old girl got hit by a drunk driver, how she suffered for hours before dying. Because what kind of world would that be? How ugly would our world really be if things like that happened for no reason?
But I have what I believe to be reality. No point to life, no greater good, no heaven, no hell. I can honestly say that I have no fear in dying. . .the only reason not too is that it would hurt the people that do care about me. Sometimes I wish I did believe in god, I think it would make the pains that I often go through better and more tolerable. But I can't, even if I wanted too. You can't fake faith.
Take care of the people you love, go to the ends of the earth to make sure they're all right, happy, and safe. Because no one else will do it for you.

Pornography (5/12/01)
Now before I get started, I'll preface this by saying that I have nothing against pornography in general. I mean where are the people that were abused as children supposed to work (generalization, but a grain of truth there). One thing I'll never understand is why they put so many different keys in their search results. I mean who the fuck goes to look up astronomy and gets a gay porn link and says to themselves, "What the hell, I think I'll download a little gay porno. I mean sure it's not exactly what I meant by Uranus, but close enough. . ." Give me a fucking break.
I go to look up some funny pics to add to the cool shit pages and what do I come up with in my search results? Out of 10 results I get 2 gay porno sites and 1 site called peeonme.org. Okay, nothing against homosexuals or pornography involving them, what guy isn't fascinated by lesbians after all? But if I'm looking for gay porno I'll look up gay porno in the search engine or any of a number of euphemisms for it. Don't even get me started on the pissing website. Who the hell gets off on that? Some of you sick deviants must be going to those sites. *shudders*
Till later,
call me donny
