Deactivation Masturbation
Part I: Fuck Facebook
I have impulsive reactions sometimes when I get irritated constantly, sometimes in quick succession. This is one of those times, and I decided Facebook can suck my dick. Most of the people on Facebook weren’t even my real friends, and I only had like 50 or so people. Sad or not I’m tired of Facebook.
Part II: & Willful suspension of disbelief
I’m disgusted with the only good reason against atheism: that it takes away hope. That’s true, it can make you realize your mortality and you could be fucking depressed about how your life turned out — you don’t see any way of fixing it, and with religion you at least could make yourself believe that after you die you will have the powers of a God in your own dominion for eternity.
It’s not like this life is anything worth crying over, right? A lifetime of disappointment? Whatever, dude. Goin’ to heaven. Nihilism rocks. Oh, wait, there’s gotta be some loophole preventing gentiles from giving up on life… Somewhere. Just assume it’s there since it seems like it should be, okay? Alright.
Anyway, life would be pointless if you were happy all of the time, trying to convince yourself that God has a plan and everything is predecided, so if you’re Christian and you perform the rituals like they say, then you have nothing to fucking worry about! NOTHING! That ain’t right. That’ll lead to extinction. Eh, but then again maybe there’s always new forms of religion, new interpretations, based on our culture and its sub-cultures. Eventually being Christian may simply mean that you enjoy cookies and milk sometime in December, or giving gifts at the end of the year to all of your friends and family. That’d be awesome. Full commercialization without the preaching and brainwashing! Just, you know, capitalism. But that’s cool.
Actually that sort of thing is probably already considered “American” or something similar in other countries who have adopted gift giving from Christmas tradition into a secular tradition.
I’ve run out of mean juice. Splode’ my load on the node.
Edit: One clarification I wanna add. Life is meaningless, but you can give it meaning. It just shouldn’t be through cold manipulation and lies. People should know what’s really at stake here: their very existence.
