Bollocks @ MindSay 
Going to see the new resi film later. Ought to be absolute bollocks but i have to watch it. After all i am a resi fanboy. I'm even getting the umbrella logo as a tattoo on the back of my leg. I'm also gonna buy a bunch of resi related clothing.
Anyway, this was a shit entry
Often, when writing/speaking, I use all-encompassing terms like god, life, the universe, everthing, hell, good, evil, etc; and consequently, some people, upon cursory inspection, take me for some self-proclaimed "intellectual" know-it-all prick. But the reason I speak in such terms is simply because everybody else does... If you religious devotees have the right (and gall) to say "God is... Life is... Good is... Man is..." then I conversely have the right to say "God is NOT... Life is NOT... Good is NOT... Man is NOT..." What's the difference? Our brains are each as big as JC's or Muhammed's or Buddha's, and each of us are as much the "children of god" as they were... It seems to me that religious folk (when I say "religious" i am implying that they follow some organized religion, otherwise I'd say "spiritual") sell themselves short by throwing in the philosophical towel before their wherewithal has a chance to take shape...
I openly acknowledge that I am truly a know-nothing fool, and am content to do so, as I see such acknowledgements as the mere recognition of the truth which so many deny for a handful of bad reasons... having said that, give the following your discerning eye and consider the source (and too the source of all human knowledge)...
so, is it just me or is all organized religion absolute bollocks? Obviously my skills in the department of endearing myself to others are crude if not entirely lacking... I must learn how to call people fools in a roundabout way, rather than attempting to win them over with derision and condescension... I loathe mind-games and manipulation and treating adults as though they were children though, so I will, as usual, be direct... When most people are insulted they lose the little objectivity they have, but the devil take all that (ha!), the truth is all that matters... So, back to my original premise: all organized religion is absolute bollocks...
I really, really, don't see what people see in this religion business... Is humanity really so consistently cowardly that we can't admit when we don't know the answers to certain questions? I have explored and debated religion so much that at this point all such questions seem hopelessly infantile to me... And all the counter-arguments I've come across do nothing to change the fact that the net harm of religion far outweighs its net good. If you disagree, read a fucking history book (besides the "holy" ones). All the arguments I've heard in favour of religion appeal only to the base little cowards in us all, ever-fearful of the unknown (and to admit that anything is indeed unknown)... I rank religion right up there with the biggest of our problems (militarism, patriotism , mindless consumption...) and am amazed that it is making a comeback in some corners... When I was younger I was sure that religion was as endangered as the snow leopard, that it was strictly the refuge of the aged and infirm, and that our ever-progressing (sarcasm) civilization would soon rid itself of it as it rids itself of all scourges (or TRIES to, at least)... I'm astounded that more anti-religious groups haven't arisen, but I suppose it is a stretch to assume that people could make a living by telling people not to believe in anything... Who wants to hear that?
All people are the same (we can share each other's blood for christ's sake! and ALL of our ancestors come from the same place and they were (and we are) ALL petty killers, "might is right"ers... we come from shameful (though, i suppose, somewhat necessary) beginnings, and we exist presently in a shameful paradigm... Look at our DNA-- we are all so close to being the same that any perceivable differences are solely aesthetic...) Religions are different, hence divisive, hence a hindrance to sustainable harmony... They are also saturated with glaring inconsistencies and impracticalities, and often stand in direct opposition to science...
I do not believe science is THE way, or that it has all THE answers, I simply believe it is the most LOGICAL deductive tool we have at our disposal... It is the most reasonable way to go about solving our problems and answering some of our age-old questions... In comparison, religion is downright retarded... Where does faith come from? I can have faith in god and that god is good without conforming to some arcane and baseless set of beliefs and practises... And such an outlook forces me to the conclusion that religious devotees are either cowardly, lazy, and/or only half alive/free... "Awake, arise, or be forever fallen"
If I have insulted or appalled you, for the love of god, stand up for yourselves... Good luck. PEACE
Dear Abby, got a problem.
I am not gay, nor am I a homophobe. Although I feel an aversion toward fat lesbians, nothing against them but the concept creeps me out. But DO NOT TOUCH ME. I was poked, more or less stroked at school today. I know several were in fact girls and to that extent I am not aware of whom. Send tremors down my spine for- first off in cyclical order- the fact I didn't know/expect/ want any of that and second why were they doing that? I know how charming and attractive I am but gosh? I am daftly afraid of unanounced touching of The Karl. What should I do

Other peoples love is very important to you right now. However, it is likely that you will only make yourself hated by being excessively clingy. This is not a good month to be posting on forums, as you will be banned then mocked mercilessly by people far more intelligent than you, who are also not so fucking whiny.
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
You are stuck in a rut: be it in work, love or even in a cart. This is because you try hard but never quite achieve anything great due to your overwhelming stupidity. Actually, I'm lying. You don't try hard at all - you are stupid and lazy. Green and red are important colours for you this month as you look in the bathroom sink and vow you really will give up smoking soon. You won't.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Make up your mind for Christ's sake! People are starting to get really annoyed with your endless indecisiveness and sooner or later they will just stop caring about your opinion. This is just as well, since it is worthless anyway. Avoid salads this month, as you won't be able to decide which one to have and you will hold up the queue.

Some people are born leaders, but you aren't one of them. You just think you are. You will have a happy career in middle management until you realise that everyone really laughs at you behind your back. Silver is an important colour for you - it is the colour of your wife's lover's Mercedes.

July 23 - August 22
This month is a good month for you to come out of the closet. Not because you are actually gay, but because you don't think people have been paying enough attention to you. Remember, the problem with pretending to be gay is that other gay people may well become interested in you. This may sound fine at the time, but just before you have every crevice of your body intimately explored by three huge hairy men with bad body odour, you will wonder if it is really worth it. Three seconds after that, you will decide not. But by then it's too late.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
It is your attention to detail that makes you incredibly boring to other people. You might think your wallpaper collection is fascinating, but as soon as you start showing highlights from binder 32 to that lovely young lady in the pub, she will laugh at you so hard she will be drunkenly sick all over them then spill your half pint of shandy. Don't try to change though, as you will fail miserably and be laughed at even more. This month's lucky pattern is Paisley.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
You yearn for some kind of change to your insanely mediocre life, and this month you shall receive it. Two possible paths will become available to you: You could either meet a person form your past with an exciting hobby that will ignite an inner passion in you, or you could discover a new meaning to your job that will gain the respect and admiration of your peers. However, it is far more likely that you will completely miss both, as you are such a fucking failure.
Scorpio
October 23 - December 21
Your gullibility stands you in good stead to become a valuable minion in a cult. I suggest Scientology, as it's really in this season. Tom Cruise practices it, so it must be fine! Take pride in the fact that although you are regularly and easily exploited, you will probably be a lot happier than people who have to think for themselves.
Capricorn
December 22 - January 19
"It is better to give than to receive" is a fine maxim to live by, as long as it's other people doing the giving and you doing the receiving. You haven't worked for any of it, but you know deserve it anyway because you are so much more beautiful than everyone else. This month you will notice a wrinkle and kill yourself.
Aquarius
January 20 - February 18
Why can't they see that you know everything? I mean, your advice is the best out there on every topic around and you and the very small group of friends you surround yourself know this. This month, you will be challenged on your views by someone who actually knows what they're talking about and this will tear your little world apart. You will never forget this incident and will one day come back to kill them. By then though, they will have completely forgotten who you are, making the whole act even more pointless and destroying that last little shred of your self esteem. You WILL be anally raped in prison.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
Hahahah! Oh Christ, you will not believe what's going to happen to you this month. I was going to say, but fuck! It's just so wonderfully horrible. I'm going to be following Piceans around all month, and I might even take a video camera. Also a heavy duty raincoat, a mop and the phone number of several black market organ dealers. Cos you know - waste not, want not. You're fucked.
