While in class today, a girl blurted out that ever-annoying aphorism: "you need God in your life." She wasn't talking to me specifically, but to the class as a whole expecting everyone to respond with enthusiastic approbation. Some did and people like me didn't say anything. If I didn't mind an onslaught of feigned pity with underlying hatred, I would have said something. Something to the effect of "just shut the fuck up." Not because I have any particular hate Christianity, but because I hate rude people that think it's ok to say awkward and assuming shit like that. After chatting with a classmate about how rude the statement was and how annoying it is when haughty people flaunt Christianity; I was informed that her mother has the gift of talking to the dead. I don't care if your mom thinks she is a spiritual medium...I just find it odd that I am about the only person I know that doesn't believe anything weird like that. Don't believe in angels, heaven, hell, god, communicable dead, fate...anything like that. At the very least, atheists and agnostics I know believe in some form of fate.
Does this mean I am not creative or something?
Should I pick something ridiculous to believe? I think I will pick Zemblism...a belief so remote and arcane that I couldn't begin to explain it. All I can say is that the secret meaning of life is happiness, and an old Zemblan proverb says, "the lost glove is happy".
Zemblism and you!

Yeah, the whole thing of belief is a stinker. I attempt to remain as close to mediocrity, ignorance, and stupidity as I can, it's hard though. Society has made me hate superiority, ability, and skill so I figure I'll just exist and if I ever get too good at something, I'll quit.
Belief is simply an attempt at feeling special. There are a shitload* of people and you're never getting into the top one million in any skill be that faith, nunchucks, hacking, or being a rude motherfucker. I maintain a belief in God because I want to find a means to kill him, I realize his existence is pretty absurd, but if he does exist he needs to be destroyed. So basically that's my belief, a belief in the supernatural in hopes that I can obliterate it.
When people attempt to share some of the special warmth that they only know or some of the special coldness they only know, I just give them a "No Thanks" and forget they ever told me. Because people stop being people and become "the Faithful" and if I had it in my mind actively that some people really believe they've got some supernatural cheese waiting for them for pushing the right button, I'd want to kill them.

Not really a gift. She can go to any funeral home and blab away. There's usually dead people hanging around places like that. Now, if she could hear DEAD PEOPLE! and listen to them, that would be something. Personally, I think that 'spirits' wouldn't have much to talk about.
"OOooooOooooo! I am the ghost of Marvin Farbotnik!"
"so what did you do taoday, Marvin?'
"Not muuuuuch! I don't have a body anymore so there is no today as you know it. OOOOoooooOOOoo!"
"Well, that must suck, there, Marv, ol' buddy."
"OOoooo! youuu know what? It does! OOOoo!"
Borrrring!

I think the real problem is that the whole conservative christian thing makes them feel real punk rock. The stupid moot issues that get brought up and shot down, like those ten commandments in that government building, or that fucking vegetable that her parents want to keep around. Unnaturally extend your kids life if you want, it's her fault for not thinking about that shit sentence: lifetime of misery.
That's why they think it's okay to blurt out shit like that. They run around pushing free speech farther than the Crucifucks ever had. Disrespecting a persons right to freedom and then bitch about their own to support a fascist theology. So, fuck them, and watch televangalists to keep your hate fresh.

Haha, I'da smackedd the bitch in the mouth and told her "When God tells me to stop beating you like the stupid self-obsessed whore you are I'll stop beating you like the stupid self-obsessed whore you are." I'd probably get a glass of water first though.
