My favorite part of the bible is when God gives humans free will, then kills them with a flood because they didn't act the way he wanted.

That Part of the Bible
Sunday 28 April 2013
Forget Everything Else
Money says:
"Earn me and forget everything else"
Time says:
"Folow me and forget everything else"
The future says:
"Fight for me and forget everything else"

The glorious Part about Science
Suppose that every memory, written word, and piece of technology on earth was destroyed all at once, leaving humanity to start completely from scratch.
Everything we have come to know about science would eventually be discovered again. Given a few thousand years, people would figure out chemistry, and rediscover all of the same elements we know now. People would once again understand biology, and its evolutionary origins. People would eventually see the motions of galaxies in the sky, and work out the details of the universe and the big bang. This is the glorious part about science, it can and would all be replicated. I can assure you, however, that the story about that talking snake would be gone forever.

The best Game you will ever Play
It's like playing the best video game you will ever get to play. You can be anything you want to be. you can go anywhere you want to go. And you can meet anyone you want to meet.
The catch is...
You only have one life. So spend it well.
Your game started a while ago.
Have you started playing?

The Quarry
A man passing by a quarry, saw 3 workers carving over the massive stones. Then, he asked the first one:
- What are you doing?
- I'm cutting these stones.
The second one said:
- I prepare an angular stone.
And the third one added:
- I build a cathedral.
- What are you doing?
- I'm cutting these stones.
The second one said:
- I prepare an angular stone.
And the third one added:

We are going to Die
We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are
never going to die because they are never going to be born. The
potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in
fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia.
Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats,
scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible
people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual
people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our
ordinariness, that are here.

I took a Taxi Today
I took a taxi today, and the driver told me: "I love my job, I own this car, I've got my own business, I'm my own boss, no one tells me what to do."
I said: "Turn left here."
I said: "Turn left here."

The Bathtub Test
During a visit to the mental asylum, a man asked the director how to determined if a patient should be reintegrated in society. "Well," said the director, "we fill up a buthtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," said the man. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the teespoon or teacup." "No." Said the director, "a normal person would pull the plug."

Religion Convictions
Religion has actually convinced people that there is an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And this invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire, and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever. Suffering and suffering, and burn and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money.

The Esquimo and the Priest
Esquimo: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?"
Priest: "No. Not if you didn't know."
Esquimo: "Then, why did you tell me?"
Priest: "No. Not if you didn't know."
Esquimo: "Then, why did you tell me?"
