34. If a man is really meant to be judged by his actions and not his words, let us put the bible down for a second and take a look at this man's actions. Witch-hunts, The Crusades, Slavery, Divine providence, and the Catholics position of non-involvement during the Holocaust...These are the actions your faith has heaped upon his name. Our society rails against abortion, calling it immoral, calling it murder...all the while these same people suit our youth up to kill men, women, and children simply because their beliefs do not adhere to ours. These are your actions, now judge my words.
35. I do not worship The Devil, I hate him almost as much as I hate the image of god that Christianity has super-imposed over their ambition. I shall reject man's ambition by rejecting man's religion. I will accept that there can be no purity in anything that our species touches, or teaches. I will accept that Man will turn anything he can into a crusade for his own personal gain. Religion is against thought, because too much thought is against religion. I will take the time to figure out my own path, and I will also realize that my path cannot be the path for everybody else, therefore, it is not something that I should force upon everybody else. I will not force others to walk down my path, for such use of any one thought will turn it into a belief, and eventually wear down the soul. I was not borne with a title, and I have decided to discard the titles that other men have thrust upon me. I will now call myself a thinker, for that is what I am, and that is what I always will be...
I shall not look upon the man next to me and pretend that we are the same, because we are, and our egos will never allow either of us to admit it. Instead I will cherish and respect the minute differences that, for all time, will make us seem worlds apart. 10 fingers, 10 toes, two hands, one brain, will never be enough for us to call ourselves brothers. I will accept that the world will never change just because I wish it to, and that prayer is a poor substitute for action. I will not make excuses for my failures. I will either learn from them and grow stronger, or I won't and I will perish. I will accept that I am indeed an animal, and that the urges and impulses that I have been taught my whole to be wrong and sinful are all natural parts of my instinct, my will to survive...

and it has all been moved....finally.
1. To get us started let me first define the two major terms that will be used in this series of rants I intend to write. Both of these concepts started with one simple definition, but over the years i have found both of these words to be quite versitile when describing my outlook on life. My whole philisophical profile revolves around them...
Sin
My rejection of morality as an unwinnable fight against instinct. The realization that at the end of the day we are all animals, and will act as such as the situation demands. No religious conviction or scientific theory can hide it...when it comes down to you or me it's going to be you if i have anything to say about it.
For this body of work Sin is also a description of any action man can perform without knowledge of how to perform said action.
Saint
The ability to look past instinct and behave rationally in an unrational world. The realization that instinct cannot control all in today's society and adjust accordingly.
In this body of work it also serves as my definition for knowledge, or any action that you have to learn to properly use.
Neither of these concepts should be misconstrued as good or evil, because both can be brutal or beautiful in their execution.
Everything after this is just random thoughts i've had through out the day that conform with my world view. This may be kind of long, but i felt like writing. Not to mention Myspace finally affords me the opportunity to get some critique on my work.
2. God; the most versitile word in the english language. How could such a concept gain so much stability through sheer interpretation?
3. The grossest form of interpretation, or misquotation linked with the word god to me is the concept of Original Sin being gained by eating the forbidden fruit of knowledge...Sin is the precursor to knowledge, it cannot be the result.
4. Man's greatest invention: I sat back and pondered on this question until suddenly it hit me; Our greatest invention has to be the fist. No: I don't believe that the fist is an instinctual action. The fist is a tool, a device you must learn how to create, and how to use properly. The fist is the start of all human violence, and all human power. Indeed, all historic and modern forms of violence imitiate its form. Pay attention to the shape of your hand while holding a gun, or a knife, a sword, or a club...notice how many different actions you do during the day (both constructive and destructive) that require a fist to do. The fist was the key to human survival. I can guarantee you that the inventors of wheel and fire lost their tools to knuckle and club...

5. Say "you know" again motherfucker, say it one more motherfucking time...because, well, you know, I know everything you're going to say. You know, I can relate. You know? I don't. You don't know shit.
I was put here to judge you, because, you know, You have no daggers you can throw at me.
6. If man has touched it, it is corruptable. If man has touched it, it is more than likely already corrupted. There is no thought or belief that can remain pure when human ambition is involved. Trust nothing, not even this.
7. I think there is indeed a God, and a Devil. I just wonder why an omnipotent being would ever be so concerned about mortals pledging thier souls to it. I question why the Devil is devoted to taking those souls away from God. It seems more than just a matter of pride to me. I don't think that the food chain stops here on earth...I think they eat us.

8. Raise your voice to the Gods, scream until your lungs collapse. Keep pretending that your volume is going to set you free. It all sounds like silence to me.
9. I would like to see the government start to issue "federal kill cards", two a year for every American citizen. Two kills a year, no questions asked. Some asshole cuts you off, and you've already had a bad day. Put a bullet in his head. As long as you have a kill card left there will be no repercusions. I don't think i'd ever use one, but i know that within the second year most of our monsters will be dead and gone from vengeance killings.
10. While we're at it lets legalize all drugs, every one. It would cut crime to a quarter of what it was. We'd probably erase our deficit just from the taxes off of it. Hell we could probably get rid of all taxes except for drug taxes and still have money to run the country every year.
Close all rehab clinics, don't offer any government assistance for drug addicts. Make sure that any crime that does involve addiction carries a very severe punishment. (preferably the death penalty) For the first few years addiction rates will be off the charts, but eventually these weak and worthless people will kill themselves off. The stigma of drug use will dissipate, and people will learn the value of moderation. When it's right there in their faces there's no running, or feigning ignorance. These people will either learn or die...either is fine with me.
11. We should all have the right to destroy ourselves any way that we see fit. We have become a country of hypocracy. Trying to tell people that we have a better way for them to live, and punishing them for not adhering to it. If it isn't something that is harming anybody else it should not become a social or legal issue.
12. The main point i'm trying to push into your face is that we're trying to save too many lives in this country, we're going against nature. People are supposed to die, The stupid, and the weak, the diseased; these people are being allowed to continue breeding and polluting our gene pool with genetic inferiorities that should have been allowed to die. On a personal level this sounds cruel, i know, but when looking at the species in general you must realize we're on the road to extinction by giving these fuckers extra help in survival.
13. Breeders licenses are another must in my opinion. I think we as a nation can come up with some kind of standardized test to determine if somebody should have the right to procreate, or if their genes should be forced to fade into obscurity.

It's so had coming up with titles for shit I've already written
14. Whore, slut, ho....i find it strange how quick we are to insult the one group of people that understand the truth about our society. Everybody sells a little bit of themselves to survive every day...
15. I wonder if it would be easier for you to hate me if I cared... I think it would be harder for me to hate you if you did.
Hate and love are strange emotions anyway...i only have a limited amount of love to give. My hate can go on forever...
16. Heaven and Hell are not our only options. Neither is achieved through judgement...they are decided by fealty. The alternative is "Purgatory" (for lack of a better name), a place ruled by the undecided...those who would not swear allegiance to either of our worlds divine, super-powers. I can not imagine this place as pretty, or peaceful. I can see it as a spiritual mirror to this world. As i have stated I do not think that the natural order ends with death. I think that souls can eat other souls to become more powerful. I think that this is how God became God in the first place. I think that I could too...

again and again
20. I know my shit stinks...that doesn't mean that I want to smell it....
17. So i'm going into the local Walmart to cash in my 25 dollar gift card that my company gave me for christmas, (which is, of course, so much better than a bonus or beer) and there's this pair of guys outside with a bell and a bucket trying to get donations to their charity. Some bullshit organization that gives a whopping 3% of their donations and send it out to help the starving children of Ethiopia buy fly-paper.
The problem is these bitches started screaming at people who didn't give a donation. They kept telling people that they were sinners, and that they should repent. I think one even said he was a messenger from god or some such rot. The Salesmen of God? If this is a sample of what i'm going to find in heaven i think it may be a little too loud for me.
I can picture it now, filled with a billion souls, all of which are trying to get donations from the others...
18. "Thy will be done"...probably the biggest cop-out in the history of language. I sincerely doubt God's will is in anyway responsible for what we have done.
19. I do not love you. I am not sympathetic to your plight. Your life does not interest me. I do not care how your children are doing, or if you have enough money to feed yourself tomorrow. If I pass you on the street I will not smile or wave. I do not hate you, or fear you. I do not care if you are a Republican, or Democrat, Christian, or Jew. I am not your fucking brother. I do not know you, therefore I have no emotion at all I am willing to give to you. I do think I would like to help you. Not by telling you what to think, but by telling you what I think. Maybe I can inspire you to do some thinking on your own.
I would enjoy it immensely if everybody disagreed with me. Because then they'd have to take the time to think about why they disagree.

...or would it be called a migration.
21. And then there came the day she told me I look better in the grave, it seems to be the only time I manage to behave...
22. Ugh...Crosses, fireworks, new beginnings, and bunnies....we could always save ourselves a lot of time and just shove a firecracker up a bunnies ass and crucify it...
23. What good can really be said about a society where the laws outnumber the people...what good can be said about the society that would have it that way.
24. From the musician to the poet, the sculptor, the painter, dancer, or writer. All the people who have inspired and entertained us...you may believe that the artist is possessed with a deeper understanding of themselves or the souls of those around them. The truth...We're just a little more full of shit than those around us.
25. "Given enough time everybody will betray you" in some way or form.
For me I find that it is easier for me to forgive the betrayal that was produced for personal gain. I never seem to be able to forgive the ones that had nothing to gain for it. Betrayal for personal gain implies a lack of morals, while the latter suggests a lack of character...
26. "Turn the other cheek?" Are you serious? Have we really evolved into a society that defines maturity as cowardice? I for one will be dogdamned if i'm gonna be the bigger man. Slap me and I'll crack your fucking skull...unless your bigger than me ;)
