But is it okay to pray to b3ta?

# i was having surgery last month
and she said she would pray that i would be ok. i told her that if she couldn't physically do anything to help me, i didn't want her to ditch her feelings of guilt by giving over any responsibility to an invisible and imaginary entity.
she did not take it well.

# Nobody wants to think about death and nothingness
But it is better than wasting our time on a baseless mythical fairy story, it gives life less worth if you think you get another go hence bomb filled underpants, just imagine if we had put all the effort that has gone into churches and religion into science? We would have hover boards by now :-(

that said, those brief periods of existential uncertainty and fear of mortality are horrible, especially at night. the phrase "bomb filled underpants" is making me smile, though :)

# My moments of existential uncertainty and fear give me a kick up the ass to enjoy life
Tim minchin says alot of good stuff about this ^ he was on desert island discs the other day and he put it better than i ever could, we are so insignificant in the universe that it is amazing that we exist at all, when i think about that i smile.

# And this is what pisses me off the most!
That everything that happens good or bad, is 'something/someone else is responsible for'. God/Satan is not like some vending machine you put prayers in and you get a free ticket to Heaven out. Personal responsibility please. I know this is blindingly simplified and hard to explain, but I have real trouble when people blame things on/attribute things to the actions of some all-seeing omnipotent deity. I'd better stop now.

# I just know this week will get everybody riled up.
Religion isn't even something I think about, because I KNOW there's much more wondrous and beautiful stuff around us at all times; it's called science, and the sooner people look for the things that are already here, rather than wait for a big fake man to appear, the better.

Fuck yeah, science.

# *science fives*
I once met someone with "SCIENCE!" tattooed on their leg, that's how much they love it.

I'll probably end up having a Carl Sagan quote on me somewhere, most likely "On a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam", referring to the Pale Blue Dot image.

and it's my love of chemistry and toxicology that led to my biohazard tattoo :)

# Ahh, love that book. ^^ Microbiology for kids!
There's a number of tattoos I'd like, but it's all a case of how much, where on my body, etc.

One such tattoo is the caffeine molecular structure... being a caffeine addict and all. :D

# Yeah, not bad placement.
Just a case of the whole tattoos and employment argument. I mean, if I could have tattoos anywhere on my body and still get a job, I'd be laughing. I think the inner wrist could easily be concealed though. :)

# I think we are going through the age of enlightenment 2.0
And this time it's gonna kick ass because a kid in africa or Iran will have a portable device in his hand that he will be able to question any bullshit that he is told, a non belief in God is the fastest growing belief system. woo yeah go internets!

# Exactly.
The only reason religion caught on is because our ancestors didn't know a fraction of what we know now, thanks to our extensive testing and research, and like you say, the way our world has become much more interconnected through the web.

It's when people decide to take a step out of their bubbles and examine the universe for what it is, and not what an ancient book told them, that the world will become a much more wonderful place.

# I give religion as we know it 5 years
i even think the pope is an athiest, if he truly believed in "God" he would be supporting the large hadron collider instead of condemning it as if what he said is true it will reveal old beardy chops on the cloud did it all....

# Yeah. If I'm honest, I'm surprised it's still going.
It's really disheartening to know there's whole groups of people out there, ready to disregard actual, physical tests being done by the world's greatest minds. The fellas at the LHC, and indeed, every physicist, chemist and biologist, deserve so much more than that.

# If this was or is a war between Science and Religion..
I am confident that i know who will win. peer reviewed and constantly changing based on evidence against an old book with power hungry apologists contradicting themselves daily, oh and they rape children.

# It's rather amusing
that scientists will never jump to conclusions without thorough testing and examination, whereas the religious lot just accept what a book written hundreds of years ago said.

And yeah, the whole paedo thing is a no no, too.
