The answer is, in the words of a very wise person, &#8216;The great mystery&#8217;. But that&#8217;s the point, now, isn&#8217;t it, it&#8217;s a <b>mystery<\/b>. No one knows. god\/the net won&#8217;t tell, either, at least not yet, not for me. So who knows? I&#8217;m not going to worry about it. Either I get backed up or I don&#8217;t, either way, nothing I can do about it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;ll be interesting finding out, though. So far I have 2 votes for &#8216;when we&#8217;re dead we are just dead&#8217;, 2 votes for &#8216;hell, in your case, nonbeleiver&#8217;, 1 for &#8216;I don&#8217;t know, why does it matter?&#8217;. And then there&#8217;s the pipe bomber. Who I frankly have to admire. I can&#8217;t condone violence under any circumstances &#8211; but if you&#8217;ve got to do something whacky, what better reason than his? <\/p>\n<p>I hope he writes books while he&#8217;s in prison &#8211; and not about bombing things.<\/p>\n<p>Talk about ways to destroy the impact of your message&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>he beleives we live forever. As does bill hicks. Why? christian virus? Probably.<\/p>\n<p>The sad thing is that christ had so the right intentions.. <\/p>\n<p>The way to hell.. is paved.. \ud83d\ude09 Even though there is no hell, that statement still contains wisdom worth saving, I think, maybe? I don&#8217;t know..<\/p>\n<p>S.<\/p>\n<p>Posted some of my less pleasant thoughts to thesadtruth.org. I love this, I can straddle the fence between my two sides, pick lefteye\/righteye, ying or yang, good or evil. And the more I practice selecting, the more sense the world makes. Because almost everyone either beleives humanity is good, or beleives it&#8217;s evil.<\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s neither. Or both. Or whatever it decides.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s go out.<br \/>\nLet&#8217;s keep going.&#8221;  &#8212; KMFDM, &#8220;Dogma&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got diverse influences. That&#8217;s good. Diversity rocks. I keep trying to reconcile the &#8216;unity&#8217; in PLUR with the diversity that things like raves celebrate.. and the conclusion I come to is that it&#8217;s unity in acceptance of diversity. Weird. And should be better codified, or something.<\/p>\n<p>At any rate, my PLUR celebrates diversity. While having the word unity in it? Oh, this gets soo strange.<\/p>\n<p>Must talk to other people more, learn what they have to say. <\/p>\n<p>If you use the accepted definition of good and evil, evil actions can have good results. Good actions can have evil results. What does this mean &#8211; if anything? Are evil and good real? Does the word &#8216;deserve&#8217; mean anything?<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow: back to work. Enough introspection, enough figuring out the universe for me for now. Let&#8217;s get back to solving the problems I can solve. <\/p>\n<p>S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just finished talking to M. &#8211; she left me with many new things to think about life.
