I've heard enough of that shit. Hardly any religion is about peace.

Oh, I'm not ungreatful for what I have. I'm pretty healthy, I have sex on a regular basis, I live in one of the richest/freest countries in the world, I have great friends... But all that still doesn't change my position on my future. So...

ah, guess i am judging you, then. whoopsie.

you know what makes me happy? being a complete cynic and raining on people's parades.

As an embittered cynic, I should be programmed to vomit all over the screen at the mere sight of, i.e., High School Musical, but instead, I find it strangely moving. You see, as I stare into their happy smiling faces filled with naive joie de vivre, I know they're just blissfully unaware of the crushing despair that awaits them as they venture into adulthood. The myriad disappointments, the yawning chasms of pain, the glow gnawing descent into physical decay, the sheer unrelenting horror of it all.

how could you read that tome twice and not realize that many of these people are not following it?

yeah teenagers are fucking amusing as shit

when i was doing sub teaching i was always facinated by the upper division teens that were just so SURE they were gonna be ALL THEY WANNA BE! and everything's gonna go according to plan, and i just smiled and nodded.

of course the ones that are all like MAN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MAN! are just fucking annoying.

I do realize that. I also recognize the fact that you can be a violent, sadistic asshole and follow the Quran to the letter.

Well, that's clearly the fault of the American dream.

But often times it's the only way to deal with ignorance/stupidity/humanity.

Trotskilicious · 10-28-2009, 05:38 AM

what am i supposed to be a completely different person so i can join in the singing and harmony that you feel as a religious convert? don't you realize how shitty and stupid that attitude is?

i'm sorry, but that's not correct. we are allowed to defend if attacked, but we are not permitted to attack unless provoked.

any muslim that kills for the sake of killing, or commits suicide for the sake of killing others, is committing a grave sin.

Mo · 10-28-2009, 05:41 AM

Well that's obviously a question of interpretation, and let me tell you, you Muslims suck at that.

um if you had taken an introduction to logic course once in your life you'd realize how completely vague this is

In the 18th century, a revolution in thought, known as the Enlightenment, dragged us away from the superstition and brutality of the Middle Ages toward a modern age of science, reason and democracy. It changed everything. If it wasn't for the Enlightenment, you wouldn't be reading this right now. You'd be standing in a smock throwing turnips at a witch. Yes, the Enlightenment was one of the most significant developments since the wheel. Which is why we're trying to bollocks it all up.
Welcome to a dangerous new era - the Unlightenment - in which centuries of rational thought are overturned by idiots. Superstitious idiots. They're everywhere - reading horoscopes, buying homeopathic remedies, consulting psychics, babbling about "chakras" and "healing energies", praying to imaginary gods, and rejecting science in favour of soft-headed bunkum. But instead of slapping these people round the face till they behave like adults, we encourage them. We've got to respect their beliefs, apparently.

Trotskilicious · 10-28-2009, 05:43 AM

Well you know even after the Enlightenment there was a philosophical reaction against it called Romanticism. I think the two forces are still doing battle to this day.

but why should that stop you from trying to make it better?

Trotskilicious · 10-28-2009, 05:46 AM

yeah why should impenetrable rock keep you from digging?

Mo · 10-28-2009, 05:47 AM

It doesn't. It does however affect my outlook on things.

i never said that i know everything. i said i know quite a bit.

i'm just bored and i want thought-provoking conversation with some old friends.

and you don't really want me to start preaching, do you?

Trotskilicious · 10-28-2009, 05:48 AM

well as long as there's no lull in the conversation, i don't want you to suck my cock or anything

perhaps you should read the quran a third time since it's clearly-worded message was completely lost on you.
