Capitalism is the cause of this.
And Christianity the cause of that.
Humans the cause of that...
and if you therefore subscribe to the monotheistic theology that includes a god then God is responsible for this fucking economy and
my mother's lost job, my father's failed business...
I wonder if I'm the only one approaching life with this mathematical mentality?
Cause=Effect.
1+1=2
There is no god, how can there be, logically, realistically, with all that we know?
Science is my god. Fact is my scripture. I subscribe only to reality.
Frustration consumes me. I am alone.
Alas! Paul-Henri Thiry, Baron d'Holbach: "What has been said of [God] is either unintelligible or perfectly contradictory; and for this reason must appear impossible to every man of common sense." I came across this while doing research for my little adventure report thing for my creative writing class. There is so much truth to that and there is something that reminds me of thoughts--fears--I had when I was growing up: that I would find out that God is just like Santa Claus: a lie.
A life without God serves me far better than when I did believe. I don't find myself waiting anymore. I'm not putting my faith in fate. I have adopted the concept that not only doesn't God exist but that there is nothing out of my control in regard to my own fate, meaning where I end up, what my life becomes. It is my responsibility. No more crossing paths, no more praying to meet movie stars & musicians, no more seeing God in things. A life absent of God. An existence far more fulfilling if you ask me. Knowing that life ends and that's it motivates me to spend more time with my family, striving to always have the best time possible, taking advantage of late nights with friends, and most importantly, I am motivated to write as much as I possibly can.
