"When I became convinced that the Universe is natural that all the ghosts and gods are myths, there entered into my brain, into my soul, into every drop of my blood, the sense, the feeling, the joy of freedom. The walls of my prison crumbled and fell, the dungeon was flooded with light and all the bolts, and bars, and manacles became dust. I was no longer a servant, a serf, or a slave. There was for me no master in all the wide world, not even in infinite space. I was free.
free to think, to express my thoughts
free to live to my own ideal
free to live for myself and those I loved
free to use all my faculties, all my senses
free to spread imagination's wings
free to investigate, to guess and dream and hope
free to judge and determine for myself
free to reject all ignorant and cruel creeds, all the "inspired" books that savages have produced, and all the barbarous legends of the past
free from popes and priests
free from all the "called" and "set apart"
free from sanctified mistakes and holy lies
free from the fear of eternal pain
free from the winged monsters of night
free from devils, ghosts, and gods
For the first time I was free. There were no prohibited places in all the realms of my thought, no air, no space, where fancy could not spread her painted wings
no chains for my limbs
no lashes for my back
no fires for my flesh
no master's frown or threat
no following another's steps
no need to bow, or cringe, or crawl, or utter lying words.
I was free. I stood erect and fearlessly, joyously, faced all worlds. And then my heart was filled with gratitude, with thankfulness, and went out in love to all the heroes, the thinkers who gave their lives for the liberty of hand and brain for the freedom of labor and thought
to those who fell on the fierce fields of war
to those who died in dungeons bound with chains
to those who proudly mounted scaffold's stairs
to those whose bones were crushed, whose flesh was scarred and torn
to those by fire consumed
to all the wise, the good, the brave of every land, whose thoughts and deeds have given freedom to the sons of men.
And I vowed to grasp the torch that they had held, and hold it high, that light might conquer darkness still."
-Robert G. Ingersoll (1833-1899), "Why Am I An Agnostic?", 1896

We are part of the universe. Our earth was created from the universe and will one day be reabsorbed into the universe. We are made of the same matter as the universe. We are not in exile here: we are at home. It is here and nowhere else that we can see the divine face to face. If we erect barriers in our imagination - if we believe our real home is not here but in a land that lies beyond death - if we believe that the divine is found only in old books, or old buildings, or inside our head - then we will see this real, vibrant, luminous world as if through a glass darkly. The universe creates us, preserves us, destroys us. We are part of nature. Nature made us and at our death we will be reabsorbed into nature. We are at home in nature and in our bodies. This is where we belong; this is where we must find and make our paradise, not in some spirit world on the other side of the grave. If nature is the only paradise, then separation from nature is the only hell. When we destroy nature, we create hell on earth for other species and for ourselves. Nature is our mother, our home, our security, our peace, our past and our future. Science is inherently materialist. It always seek material explanations. It never accepts as an explanation that some spiritual force was at work - if it did, then science and technology would come to an end. Disease was once thought to be caused by witchcraft. Science gave it a material explanation which allowed us to control it. Magnetism at one time seemed like a spiritual force - Thales of Miletus thought that magnets were full of spirits. But then science provided a material explanation. In the same way scientific pantheism believes that everything that exists is matter or energy in one form or another. Nothing can exist, be perceived, or act on other things if it is not matter or energy. That does not mean that spiritual phenomena or forces cannot exist. It means that, if they do, they must in fact be material. In scientific pantheism, science becomes a part of the religious quest: the pursuit of deeper understanding of the Reality of which we are all part, deeper knowledge about the awe-inspiring cosmos in which we live, deeper knowledge of nature and the environment, so that we can better preserve the earth's wealth of natural diversity. In scientific pantheism, cognitive openness - listening to reality, to new evidence, to all the evidence, to other people's needs and feelings - becomes a sacred duty in all aspects of life from science to politics to domestic life. Of course, we cannot say that science endorses pantheism. Many religions today state their beliefs in ways that no-one can disprove, so they can and do co-exist with science. But scientific pantheism positively thrives on science. scientific discoveries continually underline the wonder and the mystery of Being, the immensity of the universe, and the complexity of nature.

I'm doing this ridiculously long quiz for Sarah in the hope that I might get a shag.

---

The last person you kissed needs you at 3am. Would you go?
Depends on how badly they need me.

Who was the last person you saw?
*Looks around* My brother.

How many hours did you sleep last night?
7. NS ftw!

Do you miss your past?
Hell yes. Raffles was good stuff. Judo, too, was incredible. As for now.. sigh.

What is wrong with you right now?
I am in NS. :D Hahaha. And and I have too little time to do the things I want. (One is a consequence of the other here. No prizes.)

What are you listening to?
My father inviting people to his RC buffet, and my mum's Korean songs from the next room. Youtube, of course.

Who was last to cook for you?
Fiona Xie, in a two-piece apron.. okay nah, just the Subway dude.. does that count?

(where does one find a two-piece apron, anyway?)

Do you want to see somebody right now?
Yes. The person whose nose is on my wallpaper right now- I mean, the person whose nose IS my wallpaper right now :D

How's your day going so far?
*grunts*

Do you find it in your heart to forgive?
Without a doubt. For the record, however, I use my HEAD, then my heart. To do anything on a purely emotional basis untempered by logic and reason is both blind and dangerous - most unwise, even for forgiveness. Anybody is deserving of forgiveness - yet one must first understand the why of it before one forgives at all, lest he finds himself doing too much forgiving than that which is healthy.

Anything you're looking forward to?
All I want for Christmas is to ORD, to ORD, yes to ORD.. sparing that, 24th April 2010.

Are you waiting for something?
For the above to happen?

Do you want to grow old with someone or be single?
When one can appreciate the true beauty of this universe we inhabit, with its inherent harmony and myriad interrelationships, one soon finds that he will never truly be alone. 'Sides, does it have to be just one someone? :P

What were you doing at 8:00 this morning?
Going to work.

If you were stranded on an island with the person you hated and without food what would you do?
Either rare or medium rare, I can't decide which.

What colour is your comb?
I don't have a personal one, haha. I do use this sweet beetroot-coloured one, however.

What was the last thing you bought?
An oven-roasted chicken breast on hearty Italian footlong sub with lettuce, onions, tomato, and more tomato. Honey mustard.

Where do you keep your money?
With my sugar daddy.

Would you give up a dream for someone you loved?
I'd find a way to have my cake and eat it, too. How could it be a dream, otherwise?

Do you wanna cut your hair?
Nop. I have to, though.

Are you over the age of 25?
Nop.

Do you talk a lot?
Nop.

Could you date someone who has been only your friend for a long time?
Quite possible. I have hot friends.

Are you typically a jealous person?
No.

..well, when it comes to matters of the intellect, perhaps. I want to be smarter ): and NS is not helping ): At all ):

Is there such thing (sic) as perfect relationship?
No. Nothing's perfect, and that's not me being cynical- that's life, and we have to learn to accept it before we can act effectively to make the best of it.

Do you have curly hair?
No. People have a hard time believing I don't use conditioner.

Do you have to work tomorrow?
Yes.

Are you happy with your life?
See above.

Have you laughed so hard, you cried in the past two weeks?
No. I have made my girlfriend laugh till she clutched her belly though, goodness knows why. *gives Sarah a doting look*

Where is the last place you went?
I would have to say the bedroom.

Ever had a boy best friend?
Sort of, although I doubt he thought of himself as one.

Do you regret dating anyone you dated?
Hey, dates are fun!

Who was the last person you talked to on the telephone?
Sarah, I think. Ergo sum.

Are you missing someone?
Yes.

What color shirt are you wearing?
Beige.

Do you talk about your feelings or hide them?
Does talking to myself in my head count?

Ever talk to someone that was drunk?
Yes. Smelt them, too.

Do you trust people easily?
Depends. Everyone's different.. but I would say I'm pretty willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Are you wearing socks?
No.

How many pillows on your bed?
Too many. Mine, and all my siblings'.

Has a boy/girl put their arm around you in the past 5 days?
Yep.

Do you have Facebook?
Duh.

What do you want in your life right now?
To find the strength and motivation to survive NS. And a hot chick. Or two.

What is the last movie you watched?
Yes Man!

Is there someone you know you should hate?
No. Noone deserves it, and noone deserves to hand it out.

Do you like someone as more than a friend right now?
Certainly!

The last song you listened to?
Can't remember. Probably opera. My brother's playing Mariah Carey, though.

What do you hate about your school?
That I don't have one?

Would you move to another country to be with the one you love?
Certainly! There aren't too many countries I wouldn't mind moving to, however.

Are you afraid of falling in love?
No.

If a bear attacked you would you know how to defend yourself?
I would if it was a polar bear and I had a big stick! HA.

Are you younger than your sibling?
No, no and.. no.

Do you like winter?
YES. Cold is good. The air smells fresher, too! Plus, it's a perfect excuse to cuddle and make out.

Last thing you drank?
Some herbal soup my mum made for me.

Do you care if people hate you for no reason?
Certainly! Why should they?

Do you tend to make things complicated?
No. As Einstein said, "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." It's sad when we grow up in a world that doesn't get that, and when others don't get it when I try to make things simpler than that which they are accustomed to.

Are you taller than your mom?
YESSS hahahaha.

What woke you up this morning?
My mum, as is the norm.

Who were you with at 12 last night ?
My bed. Ah, glorious..

What is your mood right now?
Is there already a term for therearesomanybetterthingsicouldbedoingwithwhatlittletimeihaveinthislifethanservingthewarmachineifonlyiwereagirl,oritalian .. or do I actually have to coin one? Oh right, I looked it up. It's "Fucked Up".

Ever had a near death experience?
Nop.

When will your next kiss be?
I have no idea. Would you like to give me an answer? (:

What is your favorite tv show?
24. As of now it's one of only two TV shows I follow regularly, the other being The Clone Wars. Of course, The Nanny's still as awesome as always.

Do you miss the way things used to be?
Yes.

Have you ever kissed a brown haired blue eyed person?
No. Could I?

Is there anyone you wish would just fall off a cliff?
Well, I did meet this really rude gannet the other day..

Who last messaged you on MSN?
Sawah. (: hhhhhhhhhhhh. (:

Are you tan?
No, I'm ng.

Do you like your hair?
No.

Do you always wear make up?
No.

Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?
Guess which?

If so, who?
No, you are not going to kill her.

Who is your favourite person to be with?
Well technically, she's a rodent.

Do you like the people in your city?
No. Because they're not likeable. In general.

Is there someone on your mind that shouldn't be?
No.

What do you think of people who smoke?
Well, I suppose I'll have to do all my thinking now while they're still around, eh?

Do you prefer warm or cold weather?
Now, it really depends on my mood. How old are you, 14?

What do you currently hear right now?
Korean. As is quickly becoming standard.

What is your best friend doing right now?
Probably waiting for me to finish this tasty pickled quiz. Sorry, I ran out of adjectives, and pickles are tasty.

Do you care what others think of you?
Certainly! Where would one be otherwise?

What was the last thing you laughed really hard about?
Probably something from Yes Man..

What are your plans for the weekend?
I do have this judo competition and coaching seminar going on..

What are you excited about?
Right now, excitement and answering this quiz really aren't hitting it off that well with each other.

Do you think a lot of people think bad things about you?
You mean, naughty things? I know at least one who does.

Are you growing apart from someone close?
Not that I'm aware of. Do remind me if I am, though! I'm terribly preoccupied with helping reinforce the notion that war is an acceptable solution to conflict.

What is your favourite colour/colours?
Green. Unfortunately, in my current situation it doesn't bring forth very pleasant or peaceful images. What desecration! What foul heresy!

Anything sore on your body?
My spirit, that much is plain.

Have you ever thought about getting your belly button pierced?
Now that you've brought my attention to it, yes I have indeed! Have you ever thought about a pink elephant?

Do you think things will change next year now that you're older?
Yes. The year after that, I'll be able to watch R21 movies, too. Toodles!

Now, I'm really shagged.

-Airhead post of the um, month-

I miss the times when Mcdonald's actually had burgers such as the Double Fillet o' Fish and the Big N' Tasty, with all the veggies and a patty that didn't suck. Nowadays I have naught to eat at Macs, and I guess I'll have to stick to BK if I actually do want a decent beefburger.

So much for junk food, though. Meanwhile, Subway's really been working out pretty fine for me, even if they do occasionally forget to discount me for the Daily Value Meals.

-End airhead post-
