every moment god doesn't kill you for your sins is a gift you should thank him for
is why I left christianity. I didn't make that up myself, it was told to me. The idea is that god hates sin, and by choosing to sin we push god away. So he would be justified to just kill us for constantly fucking him over and not appreciating the gift of life he gave us.Also, Your sins make jesus suffer on the cross.
It's funny that god started interacting with the world right about the time we started inventing writing.
Here is my statement of faith: There is no such thing as a soul, god, or an afterlife.
(r) Klaproth says I ate your writeup Secondary slashdot effect. it was empty. hope i don't find more of these. Node Heaven will become its new residence.
nope, you won't find any more of these, as i would have told you if you'd asked.
actually secondary slashdot effect was the first of my own nodes i visited after a 2 year vacation from e2. Seeing all the changes that had taken place, I assumed that finally there would be a way to delete your own nodes without bothering the gods - and since there were no buttons to that effect, obviously the only other solution would be to delete all the text, which would signal e2 to delete it for you.
so i cleared what I'd written, and forgot all about it.
major interests
- magical thought / childlike thought : includes : flying, wishes, time travel, mind reading, monsters, thinking objects are discrete, esp/telekinesis, god, faith, trust, backwards language, counting steps, obsessive compulsiveness
- child culture : not forgetting what it was like to be a kid
- cultlike thought : church of christ, scientology, science as a religion, science as a cult. If science is a cult, it is the next generation of cults, since it's believers can study it's origins without losing faith.
- information theory : information conservatives believe that some information can cause permanent changes, and so should be restricted, even from adults. information liberals believe that all information should be studied. This applies to spoilers, nuclear weapons research, genetic engineering, pornography, violence on tv, sex on tv, the influence of tv on children. This also has to do with how conservatives try to restrict doubt in their own minds, while liberals explore it.
- being angry : rebellion, revenge, forgiveness
