'Life's too short' is pretty much the hedonist's maxim,too short for worry about whether we're doing God's will, so let's just enjoy ourselves instead. Something along those lines was written on the side of London buses, anyway. If that's not what you meant then please do set me right, here.
But I wasn't commenting on WHAT YOU ARE anyway, but the attitude (apparently) expressed. Obviously I have hit a sort spot.

worried about doing gods will?NOBODY knows gods will. All that there is to trying understand it and leading a life appropriately is faith in ones beliefs, beyond that how can any human comprehend the will of such an entity.
You declared specifically what I am. Rude arrogance does not warrant favourable treatment.
If you want to be condescendingly judgemental that's your perogative, but don't be surprised when that burns away any positive value in your opinion in return.
And as for hitting a soft spot, you're right, I'm such hedonistic vermin that I deserve no means of retort. How dare I be offended, I should know my place and allow those who know better then me to say anything they think they know.

It's the idea that we shouldn't even "give a crap" about God's will that struck me as self-centred.I didn't say anything at all about what you are. I've no idea what you are other than annoyed right now. I only commented on the attitude expressed. I had no idea you'd even take "hedonistic" as such an insult, some people actually describe themselves as such, and now the word "vermin" suddenly comes up.
