X is…

I’ve talked about this before. It’s likely one of my favorite justifications in the world. The idea that everything happens for a reason and that were are merely actors who are fed lines through cue cards. Not quite puppets due to the whole “free will” thing, but rather like being dragged along to make free will meaningless afterall.

An employee and I were talking about a year and a half ago. She was discussing how some bad things were happening in her life and she wasn’t sure why. She believes that everything happens for a reason and she really wanted to know for what reason these bad things were happening.

I’m going to get into an area that is easy to write off with a different philosophy or idea: Karma. I don’t believe in karma. It’s a fun and fascinating idea and I do believe that there is enough to correlation with human interaction toward certain people that it would be easy to think karma is actually a force.

The woman I was discussing in the beginning is a bitch. She treats everybody with disrespect and, in the long run, that has to come back and bite people in certain ways. Nobody wants to be treated poorly. They eventually fight back, well, at least some do.

Some things do happen for a reason. As response to the way you treat the world and others. Some people get away with being poor citizens. Us in the lower caste of life, we must deal with consequences.

Bad thing eventually happen to everybody. The randomness of the world suggests that bad things can happen in groups. That’s life. Bounce back or be miserable. There’s no plan.

This woman no longer works for me. I was thinking about how miserable of a person she is. How ugly she is from the inside. How she takes her ugliness out on others.

There’s no fixing how fucked up people become when they are young, and I wouldn’t want a god who fucks children up and gives them so many issues that they grow up to take it out on others.

I keep meaning to walk down and take a picture of it. I’ve been busy/lazy and we’ve had rainy weather.

This may be the first time I’ve lived somewhere that has had a taxpayer nativity scene.

I want my money back.

Not much more to say than that. I think it’s terrible that I have to support their poor ideology. I won’t get into the, I’m sure, over-blogged ideas that surround this time of year. I just don’t think my money should go to such things.

Maybe it’s privately sponsored. It’s still sitting in the public park. Am I allowed to place something there so that I can try to push my ideology on other people?

My guess is that there would be protests and riots in the street.

Back to the stupidity of the season for me.

It’s a tool of the vicious and greedy. A method for getting what a person wants.

It’s the most offensive word I know of in the dictionary.

It’s an insult. It’s a word of weakness. It represents people’s unwillingness to think. And be creative.

This word is is a cop out. People use it without thinking. They use it as an excuse for their actions.

The FCC has banned the wrong F word.

Here’s why. From Merriam-Webster’s.

(1): belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2): belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b (1): firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2): complete trust

Complete trust.

How many times have you heard, “If you don’t understand, then just have faith.”?

How often have you been told that your faith will pay off?

Just do what I tell you; it’s god’s will.

“Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith.
I consider the capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

I couldn’t agree more.

We are supposedly the most intelligent of all animals on this planet. Yet people rely on faith almost exclusively to get from day-to-day.

Why not logic? Why not humanism?
