This I want

I want to be paid to eat, drink, and be merry. I would love to have someone pay me to eat their food and comment on how they got things done. I am going to look into culinary academies and the books so that maybe I might be able to one day call myself a learned man in the food world. Its a nice dream.

eat to live. live to eat.

Right and Wrong

I believe killing people is wrong no matter what; even if they are some unholy union of Hitler, Ted Bundy, and Jeffery Dahmer. However, I believe it is more wrong to allow certain people to live if you can help it; like the afor mentioned people. That doesn't make killing them right, it is still wrong, but it does need to be done. I don't want to kill people but there are some people who I wouldn't mind seeing dead. At what point do you give up, grab a rifle, and solve the problem yourself.

Analyze This

I had a dream the other day where my Uncle told me I have to go fight an army of undead gerkin vampires. It was a tiresome chore but I reluctantly agreed. They had little bat wings and stick figure arms and legs and carried little pickle forks. As wave after wave of their diminutive green bodies flapped towards me I slashed at them with a fish; a salmon or a haddock or something, something that went good with relish. Soon I was surrounded by the bodies of the fallen and bled from many tiny puncture wounds which the Gerkins acidic juices stung. I went back inside the straw roofed house of my ancesters and had a grill cheese sandwich and went to sleep.

Can we prove, philosophically, the existence of God?

This is something I've been thinking about today: can we, in a philosophical sense, prove the existence or non-existence of God?  It is my conclusion that we cannot, the existence or non-existence of God must come as an assumption, upon which further arguments may be built.

My reasoning is currently based on the central tenent of the modern, protestant christian religion, as I understand it.  The basic rule is that to be saved, per christian doctrine, one must choose to accept Jesus as one's own personal savior.  In essence, one must choose to believe in Jesus, and thus God and his various works, or choose not to believe in Jesus.  It is the requirement of this choice that I believe precludes the proof of the existence of God, as described by Christian doctrine.

If the existence of God could be proven then no sane human would ever be faced with a choice to believe or not.  No sane human would be able to deny God any more than they could deny that the sky is blue or that walls are difficult to walk through.

I hate Valentines day

If you need a commercialized capitalist holiday to express your feelings for someone you lack the true passion of someone in love. No I wouldn't be so hairy about this if I was currently dating but being single and being subjected to this sucks. I hate this "holiday". There aren't even blood sacrifices to the she-wolf who reared Romulus and Remus. People don't go running down the street naked as part of a fertility festival to celibrate Zeus and Hera's marriage. Why do the fucking cristians gotta steal all our holidays! The Fuckers.

Am I sane

Am I sane? How can I tell? What is sanity? What is real?

 

Without a frame of reference for sanity it isn’t possible to tell what is or is not insane. An individual can not by themselves determine their own mental health because the test uses the tool that the test is testing.

 

The logical conclusion is that you must have a sane person test you. However if you are insane how can you accurately judge if the person or persons you get to test you are themselves sane.

 

Trust itself breaks down as it is realized that the effected person is incapable of making a decision. This is where the true dangers of insanity lie. The person believing now that they can’t make a good decision must question everything they previous held true.  This only leads to bigger problem once it is realized that they can’t trust the choices they make while reviewing their former beliefs.

 

The subject is now paranoid.  At this point even certified therapists are unable to help the person because the affected person doesn’t trust that they are there to help. They have lost any sort of connection to the outside world all because they can’t trust themselves.

 

Trust of ones self must there for be the basis for a sane mind though that can never be proven given the nature of the judgment.

 

To sum up; Sanity is much like faith in a god who’s presence you can’t prove. No one is able to tell you that god does or does note exist much like they can’t prove that a person is sane or insane.
