Yes, MSN is down, so I'm pretty bored :laugh:

I don't hate people. I really don't. I find it really hard to hate anyone, as some of you will have seen in my posts to JC#1; even in the midst of being flamed I seek to help rather than hinder. I forgive easily, and have a flashbang temper: it sparks for a short amount of time and then it's gone, and I feel bad whenever it does happen.

Flames against me by people who don't know me are easily shrugged off. People like Hal and Manic try, but it's easy to laugh them off and I do it because that's me. I seriously don't take myself that seriously and I don't mind when they try to flame me.

However, if I try to help someone and they throw my help back out of sheer spite I do not take that. Dark Skywalker and JC#1 are two examples of this, and god help me I tried! They rejected my help and as such were a total disappointment to me. THAT pissed me off.

Anyway, to the crux of this post: people I do hate despite my forgiving nature.

Most is explained in my post:

Scratch that, I hate liars. I once got close to a girl from College who told me she was having a bad time with her boyfriend and that she was gonna leave him and come to me. Turns out she was fine with her bf and she was saying the same thing to some other guys too. Fuck. That. People who lie like that for no reason piss me off. If you don't want to discuss it, fine, I can wait until you trust me more. But don't make shit up and expect me to swallow it. That's just fucking dishonest. But even then there can be reasons >_>

I really got close to this girl, and we both acknowledged how we were going to be more then friends; then her fuckin ex of three years has to interfere and confuse her even more.

I yelled at her, and that's what I never do. It just hurt so much because I felt like I couldn't do anything right. Now I haven't talked to her in a couple days, and I just want my friend back. Even if we don't go beyond the friendship, I just want to make sure we're still great friends no matter what.

Much love to the staff of MFG who posted the notice - it's super appreciated, guys. ^_^

What was nice was that my family actually stopped arguing for a day. me and dad dudn;t argue, me and mom didn't argue, hell, even my siblings didnlt argue with me ... just with each other. And I got ... everything I wanted, aside from ONE thing which comes in 10 days ...

... though that ain't a thing. xD he's an awesome person and the most awesome bf in the world. ^_^. But I'm happy ... I was able to save plenty of money for the week after next. ^^ I also had an awesome day out, and love my new haircut ... it was definitely all worth it. I feel great right now. ^_^

One thing, though. It's strange as hell calling myself '16' because ... I'm so not used to it. And everyon has been 16 before me - I'm a baby. xD ... however, every single birthday wish is immensely appreciated - this is one of the best birthdays I've had in years. ^_^ ]]> Beautiful Illusion http://anime.myfavoritegames.com/blogs/beautiful-illusion/155-sweet-16.html How frail is the balance? http://anime.myfavoritegames.com/blogs/crayne/154-how-frail-balance.html Mon, 14 Jul 2008 11:16:36 GMT Been sick with a sore throat. Not much to complain about, I know. But then I remembered that it's summer now. And I know for sure that I haven't been running out in the rain without my clothes on, so there's something else to blame for this shit.

I haven't really been interacting with people since the convention a week ago, but I doubt I got my sore throat from there. Symptoms started on last Thursday, and the con ended four days earlier. Eh.

Well, it could be all this "stay-up-late-and-sleep-past-midday" crap that's upsetting the body and its immune system. Time zones are a bitch.

Could the balance between being ill and healthy be shook with just interacting with people, with just changing the life style? If yes, what a frail thing it is. Coincidences, bad luck and all that would be able to turn you into a nest of viruses and bacteria instead of a healthy human being.

I guess a certain Mister Murphy knew what he was talking about in his law. ]]> Crayne http://anime.myfavoritegames.com/blogs/crayne/154-how-frail-balance.html Interesting reading http://anime.myfavoritegames.com/blogs/inuyasha16/153-interesting-reading.html Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:56:30 GMT The following is from Steve Corbett's website.

Why are we here?
 There is no reason. Most people can't accept this answer. Human life evolved entirely by chance, it has no intrinsic meaning, and it has no greater or lesser value than any other form of life that has ever come into being.

What about the human soul?
 A myth invented by religion to inflate man's already enlarged opinion of himself. There is no immortal soul. To say otherwise implies a belief in the afterlife, which is merely another religious myth.

 How can we give our lives meaning?
 Through our actions. Some may choose to try to make the world a better place for others (the charitable approach). Others may try to make the world a better place for themselves (the selfish approach). Most will probably try to strike a balance between those two. Whatever task you set before yourself, pursue it with ardour and remain true to your own ideals, whatever they may be. Life may have no intrinsic meaning, but that does not mean that life is not worth living.

Atheism consequence #1 - you are mortal
 This is really the hardest consequence of atheism for newcomers to deal with. Since the first flicker of consciousness graced the mind of humankind, people have feared death. Pretty much every early civilization invented some way to deal with this fear. Some believed that when you die, you would be reincarnated as some other life form. Others believed you would haunt the Earth as an immaterial, disembodied spectre. Others believed in some form of judgement, where you would enter eternal bliss or eternal punishment depending on your actions during life. All these beliefs share one thing in common - immortality. It's a beautiful concept, there is no more need to fear death, since death really no longer exists. Even in those religions that have a concept of "hell", you still live forever. Granted, you are in pain and agony for all eternity, but you are still alive.With atheism, this comfortable lie is ripped away, and you are faced with the harsh, inexorable truth - you will die one day. This death will not be a transition between your current life and your next life, it will be the end of everything that is you. It's a scary thought, but after reflecting on it for a while, you will realize something - atheists value and respect life more than religious types, such as Christians. Why? The Christian believes that his death is a beginning, not an end. The atheist recognizes death for what it is - oblivion. We only have a brief time on this planet, we must cherish it while we have it.
Of course, this also strips away another comfortable lie of religion - people who have died are well and truly gone, and we will never be reunited with them. This can be difficult, if not impossible, for some to accept, and will no doubt result in many people rejecting atheism, choosing instead to cling to the illusion provided to them by the religion of their choice. There are three reasons why this is difficult to accept:
  1. Loss of loved ones - parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers, or friends, who have died, are gone. We will never see them again. Our ancestors, the great minds of our past, are not waiting for us on the other side. There will be no great reunion after death.
  2. No accountability - people who committed great evil during their lives will not receive punishment. Adolf Hitler escaped all accountability by taking his own life before he could be captured. There is no justice in such cases, no retribution.
  3. No reward - the flip side of the previous item. You will not be rewarded for any good deeds you performed in your life. You will not be rewarded for following the teachings of your church and living piously.
These facts are hard to come to terms with, yet you must accept each of them before you can progress further into atheism.

Atheism consequence #2 - you are responsible for your actions
 Claiming that "the devil made me do it" doesn't wash here. Every man is responsible for his own decisions, and mistakes can no longer be blamed on invisible demons.Admitting to errors in judgement can be quite painful - this is only human. Some people are incapable of admitting mistakes altogether. In 1870, the Vatican announced the Doctrine of Papal Infallibility, which, in a nutshell, claims that everything they say is irrefutable truth. This is, of course, complete bunk. No human is infallible, and Catholics, even the pope, are only human. Attempting to foist responsibility for your actions onto someone (or something) else is the act of a coward.
Which brings up another interesting point here. Some people (such as the pope) claim to be able to speak directly with god, and receive instructions from him. This is a neat way of absolving yourself of responsibility for your actions, similar to saying "the devil made me do it". For example, one of the Christian "ten commandments" is "thou shalt not kill". However, Christians have killed many, many, many people over the centuries. How do they reconcile this? Well, if you kill someone while in god's service, it's okay, it's not really you doing the killing, you are simply an agent of god, carrying out his divine will. This is not only a delusional philosophy, but a dangerous one, when employed by a fundamentalist.

Atheism consequence #3 - human beings are animals
 Most religions place some special value on human beings over other forms of life on this planet. For example, Christians arrogantly argue that the Earth was especially designed for humans, and that all animal life is provided either to serve us or feed us. This seems to be an odd assertion, since two thirds of the Earth's surface is covered by water, with two poles covered in ice. Does that sound like a planet designed for human life? If you were building a house for your family, would you make sure that two out of every three rooms were uninhabitable? Science teaches us that life evolved slowly, over many millions of years, and that humans are just a clever form of monkey that eventually developed the ability to communicate difficult concepts and build incredible machines. Despite this, we are just another form of animal life on this planet. This is nothing to be ashamed of, it's just a simple fact. I mention it here because most religious types seem to have great difficulty coming to terms with this fact. I met a Christian once who refused to acknowledge even the possibility that we are related to monkeys, he even denied he was a primate! I suppose the first impression of this fact is that it somehow demeans us all to admit that mankind, for all his ego, is simply an intelligent animal. ]]> Inuyasha16 http://anime.myfavoritegames.com/blogs/inuyasha16/153-interesting-reading.html My Brother is a Transvestite. http://anime.myfavoritegames.com/blogs/beautiful-illusion/152-my-brother-transvestite.html Sun, 13 Jul 2008 20:24:53 GMT _>]]> I mean it.
