I have more to say than what I am about to say, and I hope I remember to say it. I just finished watching a two part documentary called 'The Root of All Evil'. This root basically being; religion.
I agree with much that is said in this documentary, but feel that there is more that could have been said. There was more that could have been analyzed, more that could have been showed as contradictary in religion, and franky; to be bullshit.
Perhaps the presenter of this piece was actually trying to be too nice. I'm going to have to watch it again in order to structure and articulate my thoughts properly.
I want to talk about sin, morality, faith (I believe, I believe, just tell me what to believe and I'll believe it).
Then there's the matter of a god. I frankly find the concepts that religion present us with to be childish and small minded. Science is exposing a universe (or universes) that's so much more elegant and profound than the pathetic stories that religion would haveus believe. If anyone took the trouble of reading about quantum physics or m-theory (string theory), they'd find that the universe that religion presents us with is vastly inadequate to the majesticly complex reality that we are slowly unveiling through questioning and doubt. If I had to choose between doubt or faith, I'd choose doubt every time. I'd rather not know, than believe I know something without truly knowing.

Sorry about the crappy ending in the previous posts, I promist to make up happier endings.

m-theory thought

something I was thinking about m-theory... what if the existance and density of specific elements are... hmmm, how to put this. So m-theory proposes the concept of branes (membranes), which are 11D, and that this is what matter is made up of. So then what if different types of branes, or the different ways in which branes overlap in 11D 'space', related to specific elements, and that those specific overlappings (I like that one better than a whole bunch of different branes, hell, maybe it's all one overlapping brane... or brain ;) ) allow for further interlocking overlappings which could be how more complex molecules are formed and exist. From that perspective we're just reality overlapping with itself. Everything is just Everything overlapping with Everything.

gay cocaine

ok, so picture this. I go to someone's place for a smoke and, while I'm going, I take along my laptop to copy some shit. the laptop fits in this really stazzy silver suitcase made of plastic, and would have looked a bit mafia if it wasn't for the shoulder strap. so I go over there, and do as intended. They invite me to join in a game of poker, which I decline. one of the cool things I find, whilst copying shit, is the old Outer Limits series. They offer me white powder, I decline, they partake. I close my laptop and reach for the beer and a cigarette and realise I just shut down my laptop by closing it. After much struggling whilst hearing the snifflings of the others, as if there was a bit of a cold going around, I manage to get it started up again - it first behaves a bit odd. When I get it up again I can't find Outer Limits. Anywhere on the network. I've been sitting between everyone and the computer on which the stuff was, so I know no one has gotten to it, and there's a folder created when it started copying, but nowhere to be found. Digital haunting. Daunting. Later I get access to Outer Limits which is infact on the network, but wasn't shared. Whhooooooeeeeeoooooo. Then they start looking around for cash and call their dealer, and I get quietly uncomfortable and leave after two of the other guys leave to go meet him. All the time I'm thinking about the briefcase, and how it would look if anyone was watching them and saw me arrive and then later leave with it. On the way home I thought I should write this down.
