I don’t believe in anything!!
OK, well that’s not entirely accurate, I believe in science and logic, but even those I scrutinize as much as I do the fantastical worlds of faith. While I don’t subscribe to the tenants of a system that thinks human kind came from clay or from a bamboo reed or the blood of a slain dragon or maize dough.
But enough of that for now…because in the day or so that it has taken me to get this far on this post my brain has officially broken. Earlier in the week while coworkers where talking about the awesomeness that is Curling. One of them mentioned a woman Curler who was pregnant. The first thing that popped into my head was; Where they using the fetus as the Stone?
I know, I know…its wrong of me to know technical Curling terminology, but what can I say I’m a well of useless and inane knowledge.
The second lapse into dreamland happened today as I was returning from the filtered sustenance dispensing machine and internally chided/marveled at two coworker’s diligence in their professionalism. In other words; I wondered why they had ties on when it was Friday and from working in an office environment Fridays always mean the day you can binge drink openly and dress ‘casually’. Honestly, for me casual is a pair of shorts and a tee shirt, unfortunately that doesn’t fly to well in the business world I find myself living in.
As I thought about their diligence for customer service and the presentation of The Company through wearing a tie on Casual Friday I looked down to see if I was wearing my only polo and realized it was Thursday and I too had a tie on.
I know I broke something recently and it’s all starting to click into misalignment.
Back to the hatred.
Last week a dear friend of mine opened my eyes to the world of Nonstampcollector and for a few minutes I was marveled at the power and ingenious of it all…then after a few more videos I realized he was essentially saying the same thing again and again just in different and quirkier ways. Which isn’t terribly bad, I just lost interest. Regardless here is one of the better videos I ingested, but there is a larger volume I have yet to observer so the awesomeness of this selection may dull in time.

While a valid point that I 100% agree with and would love to use in an argument with a Mormon, if it wasn’t for their inherent illogical nature restricting the conversation from getting anywhere, I actually don’t care to argue semantics with the believers anymore. Where once I was the Sinn Feih equivalent of an atheist, I am now the unbelieving guru sitting atop a pile of dog-eared manuals and codices, comfortable in his own world yet willing to despence my view points on others if asked (or not asked).
While I don’t believe in anything that I consider fantastical (some science theories included) I lean towards the ideology imparted by that great teacher of acceptance, The Matrix.
The new golden rule is thus; ‘There is only one.’ er ‘Each individual controls their own belief. If you believe in life after death, you will find peace in Heaven. If you believe in reincarnation, you will become the butterfly. If you believe that Elvis works at The Wienery, you might want to see your physician for an increase in your meds.’
Essentially religion, spirituality and faith are personal. I take it to the extreme (because I don’t like doing anything half-assed) and say that each person controls their spiritual/religious/faithlyness reality. Everyone is right in their individual regards and should be free to believe what they want to with the golden exception of ‘as long as it doesn’t impede on other people abilities to do the same thing’.
Thus, organized religion can go fuck its self.
Someone needs to come up with a way to say my new Golden Rule that will fit on a tee shirt and work within the half second attention span of all Americans who grew up watching
Alguien necesita subir con una manera de decir mi nueva norma de oro que quepa en una camisa de te y trabaje dentro de la media segunda capacidad de concentración de todos los americanos que crecieron Sesame Street para arriba de observación.
