"My Show's On."

in a curse of banality,
we drone in and out through the T.V. puking as 1-800 psychics begin their pleading retching between the car commercials yet, sometimes I want to go out and buy one just so I can have THAT kind of promised life we know the ones, those sickening ones: "BUY ME!!BUY ME!!BUY ME!! I REMOVE ALL STRIFE!!" as we all go driving off to the sun, we'll spit and shout over the better ones driving off to the sun, T.V.'s broke, get a better one droning in, puking out, jealous after the show, the one on what life is all about droning in, fading out "Is this the show on "what's life about?" " droning in, tuning out Don't miss that show, it's what it's all about World Affairs? I'm missing my show So I. Don't. Care. we're told everyday about the real and the realer still overstuffed on electronic garbage No, no thanks, I've had my fill A blessing of banality will be the charge you'll have to sit there, think of the way it's not on T.V., it won't be on any day.... so many mindless slugs overrun this place poison the slop they eat, wear a smiling face I want to get started, I want to, but wait.... ....my favorite show is on, we can do it later, If that suits your taste.... |

"You have it. So use it."
faces have begun they're peering through shadows piercing eyes on noseless faces burning violet eyes they seem to sunder at a glance wails and moans rack crooked bodies horns and hands drag on the ground horns and hands dig through me "You had it. So lose it." my faces..... peering right through..... drank their tears..... burning violet tears..... seems at a glance..... racking all crookedness.... horns and hands..... horns and hands on me..... "You hear it. So abuse it." my faces have really begun peering right through all my shadows drank of their tears all night long burning violet tears coursing down seems to burn so with my slightest glance rack all my crookedness for the "end" horns and hands, all staring back in the pews horns and hands on me and you "You want it. So cruise it." no more faces, please I'll leave the shadows, please I just want my eyes, please I JUST WANT MY EYES!! |

Back to school!
|

I start back Monday. I'm a junior taking Organic Chemistry, Calculus, Biology-Genetics, Psychology-Motivation, and Anthropology- N. Amer Indians. Hopefully I'll walk with a Bachelor of Science in Psych with a double minor in Chem and Bio. Priced my books and some fancy calculator today.    Made myself feel better by going "school shopping", picked up some new Levi's NOT boot cut, falling off your butt jeans.
It's still seems odd to be a full time college student at my age, but better late than never. I'm psyched to go back! 
  I hate buying books! What do they mean $165 for a 300 page book??!!

I study nuclear science I love my classes I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses Things are going great, and they're only getting better I'm doing all right, getting good grades The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades, I gotta wear shades I've got a job waiting for my graduation Fifty thou a year -- buys a lot of beer Things are going great, and they're only getting better I'm doing all right, getting good grades The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades I gotta wear shades That song came out so long ago! Wasn't it in that movie with Val Kilmer as a nuke student?

Who is going back to school this fall? Have your classes started already? What are you taking? Any sciences classes? (Or philosophy classes?)
I started back last wednesday at UT for my senior year in Nuclear Engineering. I'm taking a senior radiation lab class, nuclear criticality, reliability & maintainability and a freshmen astronomy class ( the latter is for an easy A! )
I've had some philosophy courses: intro, business and engineering ethics and a general ethics course. Hope that helps

Topic:
what do you believe?
|
|
While researching various religions I have come across something interesting that is hardly addressed. Fist most sites indicate what happens to a person who believes that particular religion. what I find that is not talked about is what happens to those who do not believe. So i pose this question to everyone. According to the religion you practice what happens to the person who has lived a good life and dies but does not believe your religion? It's interesting you say that the religions on't say what happens to non-believers. All the ones I researched in the judeo-christian realm all say that non-believers burn in hell, gnash teeth and are flung into outer darkness. They say the non-blievers deserve this because they have "denied a god", whatever that means. We are energy and condensed energy, i.e. matter. Since energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can only change forms. I didn't say that they do not say what happens to non-believers. I apologize if that is the way it came across. What I meant was this is not normally addressed on such sites as religioustolerance.org and a few of the other sites that attempt to tell you the beliefs of all the religions. To me this seems interesting. The biggest question I have for any religion and person who believes different than me. What does your religion say about the good person who does not believe. For example Mormonism says that all go to hheaven except the worst people in society. mass murderers. serial killers. terrorist. really the worst people in society. Now everyone else will goto heaven and get a chance to hear the Mormon doctrine. only the select few who did everything right according to the Mormon doctrine will become God of their own planet. So the way I would see this. i live a good life and I am okay. don't suffer in hell according to their religion but make it at least to heaven. so why waste my time because the opposite is what if they are wrong. What if another religion is right. then I wasted my time. More or less its an expansion of pascals wager. not so much a belief in God. But using it to apply to religion in General. if you are okay by living a Good life. no harm in moving on and researching the ones that may hold a different theology. As trunner pointed out. all those who do not accept Jesus are doomed well that to me should be worth looking into. Do you not agree? http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/pascal-wager/ Religion is a deeply personnal choice to people and the product of years of instillment by the family, peers and community. But when you say "good life", we need to look at what comprises that sort of life. Is it merely following all human laws to a "t", being nice to all for your entire life and helping all those that you can in your power? That seems like a nice life, in that YOU get the personnal satisfaction that YOU are not a "bad" person. why do you need validation? Now, as to a "bad life", this can get a little grey. Circumstance is tricky when we make choices in life. Is a murder wrong if you are truly defending yourself from being murdered? Is cruelty or revenge wrong when you finally snap & crack from others treating you poorly? This can go on and on, I think ultimetly it resides in the person if they feel they have lived an appropriate life. Now as to the comment on all those that deny jesus burn in hell, I feel that is really BLEEPED up. The message there is not one of love, but an ultimatum: EITHER you are with this god OR you are against it. I feel that life is not so cut and dry. You are basically forced into subservience through fear of recrimination in an afterlife that NO ONE is really sure exists. Im just a human, so I can't really see the big picture, but the piece Im given to look at ( the arguement here) leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Question on your definition of religion. if it is "the product of years of installment by the family, peers and community", then why are there atheists? All societies of the past had a belief in religion. so if always the same values are taught over and over who is teaching the values of atheism? Also if each person determines if they lived appropriately well everyone has. How many people live day by day selling crack to kids. sexually exploiting women, etc. they all live an appropriate life if you ask them. They can justify everything they do. I would address the rest but we are going off topic. instead i will email the response and we can talk there. to address one of your questions, "Why are there atheists?" Some are raised that way. Some become that way after realizing that all they've been told about some belief system isn't necessarily true. Right I understand that part. but the question was if no one was teaching it how did it come about. The response was to a previous post where they had said that peoples belief in religion came from what they were taught, by family peers and community. I know this is not always the case. For example take the northern Sudan area. Just by claiming to be a anything but Islam there you can receive the death sentence. So how would people like that choose anything but Islam? Yet they still do. So many people in the rest of the world. Often turn from their family and communities religion with fear of death in order to follow the christian religion. So to say people just choose because they were taught that by family peers and community may be valid in the US. but is certainly not valid in other parts of the world. Why do the wealthy complain the most about religion? Don't think you are wealthy. get a new perspective. the site i listed shows where your salary is at compared to the rest of the world. http://globalrichlist.com/ How did it come about? By being able to think for oneself. I realize that. My point was if people only follow what they are taught and what society teaches than atheism could not exist since past cultures and nations were highly dominated by religion. Not everyone who chooses religion does it because it was what they were taught. So to the question of what me definition of religion is? Come on, we're in the general religion chat area, it's pretty clear That was a little glib, sorry, but anything that has to do with spirituality is "religion", not something you do over and over "religously".
Why are there atheists? That was how I was raised, to not believe in a higher power, I was always taught to always depend on Numero Uno, which is myself. I dont resent the upbringing, it's left me selfsufficient and Ive turned out to be a pretty decent person. I feel that its how you are raised as to what your views are and when you get older, you have EVERY right to decide for yourself. I should leave this next part for your email, but what the heck! One reason Im an atheist is Im gay. I refuse to bend a knee to any religion that has already promised me an eternity in a fryer basket for something I have NO control over. I've heard so often from many religous people just how sick,disgusting,abominable and unnatural I am soley based on me being gay. And I've been told that there is no hope, even though the Arms of Love open wide, just not wide enough for me. That's all. Later! |

Like so much ice caught in the embrace of newborn springtime warmth Anger melts slowly, blame nothing more than wisps of smoke rising from a dying candle Dust and spider infested cobwebs will conceal the past, beneath the shadows of hate and hurt lay everything important. His laughter like invisible kisses upon a scabbed heart, each new day another treasure to be held tight. Happiness sparkles like sunlight on a motionless sea, every moment… Silent memories washed away grudges- so many footprints on a beach of glass. An angel dressed as a mortal man descended from the heavens when the fires of hell burnt brightest , Words gentle as crickets ’song promised better things, a heart tattered like this one loved with all its power. Days no longer lonely, nights no longer cold and empty as an abandoned castle Forgiveness has come, a silent tornado destroying walls built of angry words, of hurtful blows… The ruins are buried beneath years of trivial chit-chat and laughter that fills a mended soul never to be discovered again.  this write, so many wonderful images...AWESOME!

This is it.
This is how it begins. So,so bored with all the cuts on my skin So,so tired from all I haven't been I gave myself a lesson in a thing called FADE You know I became a dull & listless shade? Dull & listless no matter how many times the sun came I learned that lesson well, wanna hear how it goes? It's all the same and the same all over again. I moved from hellish heat to escape into bitter snows So now a question of where to go? All the other mees inside really don't know... I peered into a star-filled sky, inside my head the message flashed: "ACCESS DENIED" I hung my head for years and years as the sky seemed to fly on by.... ACCESS DENIED, keep thyself to the ground But, there are so many other interesting things to be found! "KEEP THYSELF TO THE GROUND" the message secreted in all forms of religion, a secreted message for the terms of this prison sunlight,air,flesh and sh** are some responsibilities given And don't forget, it'll cost you...cost you...accost you...cost you "ACCESS DENIED" So in defiance I threw my own sh** into the sky Nothing came to punish my deed, Except for gravity as my own sh** fell on me a crushed dream to search the star-filled sky, and only once or twice I had cried and this is it. this is how it ends. |

lonelieness turns people bitter it seems, they can't stand to see others unite, instead they try to smash their dreams, and bring darkness to their light. negative talk,gossip and smears, to try to bring them down, all while they hide behind their tears, acting like foolish clowns. they wonder why alone they're stilll at the computer typing away, it's because REAL people have had their fill, of all those negative ways, so take a look deep inside, and be happy for others bliss, or just be lonely ,bitter and hide, it's just life your gonna miss... for the positive one's CHEERS I kinda like the negative bedlum1, but I hear your message just the same. Good write!

OK different, this is another one of those funny ones witha serious message woven through. I see you want to do the right thing in life, no matter if you get the message across with a voice like a '2x4'. Funny , but serious
