Theists argue for the existence of God. The existence of God is not disproved.

Atheists argue that God does not exist. The existence of God is not proven.

Agnostics have it good. We say that we do not know since neither are proven. The burden of proof lies on the ones who claim to be enlightened.

I would label myself as a Deist. I believe that the universe was created, that there are many mysteries out there still waiting to be discovered and solved. An entity must have created the world. The Creator, the Unmoved Mover, the First Cause. I cannot comprehend a universe that has no beginning or end to speak of. That is as far as my beliefs go.

I cannot believe in a personal God until I experience a personal God. Like the disciple of Jesus, Thomas said, "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe."

I guess I am not as blessed as those who do not see yet believe. Just now when I decided to go to the kitchen for a bite, I grabbed two tasty jelly beans from the plastic container. I put the cover back on before proceeding to close the refrigerator. But what happens? The whole container falls onto the floor and all the beans went pitter-patter every where!!! Being the thrift and miser I am, I began replacing the jelly beans back into the container. I also ate a few more like the one I stepped on or the one which rolled under the fridge, that I deemed unsafe for others to consume.

So in the end I ended up biting more than I could chew. What was meant to be a little indulgence turned out to be an act of gluttony! What if I get a sore throat or stomach ache? I already have a runny nose and watery eyes!

What if I spread my flu-like symptoms to the others who will eat the jelly beans? Hopefully they do not eat the beans, or that their immune system is strong enough to protect themselves from my germs! Today was spent mostly sleeping.

I wish my life would be something like this when I grow up.

Yesterday my friends were talking about random things when the topic of the need to sleep came up. Why we need sleep is a mystery, and I am going to think about it. Late nights really kill me because the next day I will suffer from a runny nose and ailments like that. This is seriously uncomfortable I wish I could change my nose. Maybe they will empathize with my lousy condition in army?

And I am growing fat because I am lazy. What we desire, we learn to find beautiful. When people say all life is equal, or that they root for equality of all things living, I am simply baffled.

If you are a dog lover, then admit your tendency to favour those furry animals. Do not extrapolate your whim into a call for universal fairness among all living things.

Fairness? Fairness dictates that not all things are of equal worth. Would it be fair to say that a bean sprout has the same worth as a highly intelligent chimpanzee? Bear in mind that both are living things.

Say we narrow down the scope to exclude bacteria and plants and organism without a brain. Are we to say that a cockroach is equally worth a cow?

Even in the traditional standpoint that all humans deserve equal rights, does it mean that Mother Theresa and Pol Pot are of equal worth?

For men are not equal: thus speaks justice.
Friedrich Nietzsche So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe."

John, Chapter 20, Verse 25.

Best verse i have found that states my stand clearly and simply. I want to know... what it means to be strong. Hilarious youtube comments I found.

I just believe in something that is real!!!!! No single raindrop believes it is to blame for the flood.

And yet the flood cannot be conjured up from nothing. The blame has to go somewhere. Who do we hold responsible?

We are all responsible. Every crime we commit against the Earth, no matter how small, contributes to the degradation. We cannot just sit here and point out how insignificant our role is. Small things accumulate to form large things. We need a concerted effort. We all need to work together to minimize the damage.

Work together? I cannot help myself but scoff at such naive ideals. This world is blotched and stained. Society will never achieve such goals unless wicked people are neutralized.

Anyway we should not worry because we will not see the worst consequences of our actions. It would be our posterity who will have to suffer. I am sure many people of our generation are agreeable with that. Maybe those more considerate ones would develop technology to terraform and space-transport too.

I was thinking, maybe God the Father decided that we kids have grown older now, so he is giving us a little more freedom. Now that we have this freedom, we are going to try all sorts of things and inevitably hurt ourselves. We want to learn things the hard way, just like headstrong teenagers. I just had this amazing inspiration. Following my current line of thinking, this would mean our race would mature into a kind of God as well! Then we might even have "children" of our own.

I do realise that I am beginning to spout nonsense. I should never have brought God the Father into the picture; He only complicates things. The only God I believe in is God the Creator, the Prime Cause, who set every thing in motion. Why didn't you just build a super computer instead?

Then you would not have to worry about your property not achieving it's fullest potential. What is life about? Developing the talents we have? What if I was talented in shooting? Pretty nasty results.

I would like to think myself as a stoic, but I do not think I have reached there yet. I am more of a cynic than anything else. You keep telling me that I lack motivation because I have had such a comfortable life. You keep reminding me that if it were you, you would have gone much further.

I suppose every one likes to think that life has dealt them the worst hand, yet they have made the best of it, and come out on top. Every one wants to believe that they roughed it out, that what they did mattered. That they are a shining example for others to follow.

I am having an inkling of what you expect of me. It is not a nice feeling, trying to live up to others expectations. What a shoddy excuse of a motivation I have.

Fine, I will accede to this request. Goodbye everything else. Every one is worrying. Except me.
Every one knows what is best. Except me.
Every one wants to push the limits. Except me.

I must be a foolish, ignorant and lazy boy.
