Organ Meat Christianity and Some Other Things Like Friendly Intelligent Happy Things

So, I wanted to discuss the topic of Christian persecution.

People say, Christian persecution is a myth. Atheists say this. Because atheists like to think that they are the ones that are persecuted.

Sure, they are. But not as much as Christians are.

Atheists get blindsided. At the bus stop, people come up to them, handing them pamphlets, saying, convert or burn in hell! Jesus loves you! You are a heathen! BAAAHHH!!! You are rotten atheist scum and you need to repent repent repent!

And so atheists j abble bitterly about this, and they forget. They forget that they do the same thing to Christians. They say things like, oh, the bible says this, the bible says that. Follow exactly what the bible says because you are supposed to do. That is what you are taught in bible school.

Yeah, Mr. Atheist Fucker, you don't understand the bible. You don't have to follow the bible exactly to be Christian.

I don't tell you how to do your job, you don't tell me how to do mine.

I actually follow my own rules entirely. I don't care what the bible says. I am Christian, I enjoy Buddhism, the dark arts, philosophy, new age philosophies, enlightenment, everything. It is all part of my wonderful, wonderful path.

No one cares what an old book says. It is not about the old book. It is just a book of inspiration. It is not like, you do all this or you go to hell. Those are just the crazy street corner raving lunatics. We don't like them. I enjoy them. But I don't like them. You don't convert anyone that way.

And honestly, you aren't going to hell if you are not Christian. There is no hell. There are things like hell. But no one is damned to hell. Christianity is just part of my spiritual path.

Atheists think they are being smart by pointing out, hey, you don't follow the food rules!! BLAHH MEY EYE OH MEY EYE OH MEOOOW WONK!!!! And they laugh and say, haha the jokes on you! The food rules are over, man. There was a spiritual energy shift. Everything in Leviticus is obsolete! But you don't know this unless you actually know anything about the religion, which atheists don't, they just feel smart lecturing people on thing they know nothing about.

That's why I hate atheists. Not all atheists. Just pathetic atheists. You think you are so smart. Nope. You are not. PEOW!!

And then on the other hand, we have the people saying, well Fundamentalist Christianity and Fundamental Islam are practically the same thing.

Yeah, what with the Sharia law, stoning women to death for being raped, Female Genital Mutilation, general horrible mistreatment of women, and all the bombings and shit. Yeah, occasionally a Christian bombs an abortion center. Same thing, man. Same thing.

Yeah, I wonder about some people.

Religious Insects, Musical Delusions, and the Big Empty Future

So here I am at the local college. I have a 3-hour study session before my first sociology class. So I do a little bit of text book reading. Reading about sociology makes me think of the computer game I programmed in high school. It was basically a society of bugs, a bug life simulation game, the bugs faced many challenges but the most notable of which was that they had religions. Anyway, I start thinking about that, and I am full of ideas of how I could improve it. Or just start over and program it all over again, with the same basic idea of a society of bugs, but I can make it cooler and totally different. I mean, that was eight years ago when I started working on it. I could make it totally cooler now.

What am I going to do with my life? I know the reason I am shying away from pursuing a degree in computer science is because I don't want to be stuck in a monotonous coding job. Creating a bug game was creative. I want to create my own computer games. Intelligent computer games. There are too many shoot-em-up games out there.

But I also feel this drive to be famous. And I don't just want 15 minutes of fame, I want to stay famous. And I don't know why I want this, but I do. Maybe it's the kind of thing that once I have it I won't want it anymore. But for some reason, being a famous author seems like the most realistic goal I have right now.

I'd also like to dabble in acting. Like, they could make my book into a movie and I could play myself. Then they couldn't say that I didn't have the right look for the part because I look absolutely perfect for the role because it's me. Except I have no acting experience. But it's never too late to start, right? That was my dream when I was really young, to be an actress. In fact, when I was young I knew I was going to grow up to be famous, and I thought it was going to be because I was going to be an actress. It was just like, I had this feeling like I was someone important, someone whom other people would be interested in.

And then I want to dabble in music. I wanted to turn my life into a musical. Or at least the part that had to do with me becoming delusional. And I wrote some songs, with lyrics and everything, and I thought they were good. Sometimes I have a talent for poetry. Except when you write poetry for songs, you have to mix up the rhythms more, or else all your songs will sound the same.

What else do I want to do? Why, I'd like to become Buddhist. Maybe even a Buddhist monk, and then I can teach other Buddhists. Actually, I don't know that much about Buddhism, but from what I know it's probably the most fitting spiritual path for me.

And there are more things I want to do, like write more. So the problem is, none of these really seem that attainable right now, the closest one is getting a published book, but that's not a permanent career. So if I had a clear idea of what I wanted to do, I could focus on that and move full force in that direction, and maybe I would get somewhere. Except I don't know what I want to do because I want to do everything, so I can't focus. So I'm left unemployed and in a program, and the future is just this big blank spot in my mind.
