I didn't either. Especially where the posts didn't even happen this year.

Still refusing to use nominatives and enclitics. Read too much Latin and Greek today. Thought you would enjoy that fact.

What's an enclitic? Cuz right now I'm thinking it's

Unaccented word, like most forms of "sum". Notice lack of "is".

Concerning religion/spiritual shit: apathetic agnostic, don't know, don't care.

Meanwhile I anticipate

to be more pertinent to my life.

I'm finding this poll hard to answer.

I have found myself to agree with Asimov when he said:

I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say one was an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic. I finally decided that I'm a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.
-- Isaac Asimov, in "Free Inquiry", Spring 1982, vol.2 no.2, p. 9

But I'm not so sure that's the case anymore, I know for a fact I can't answer this question. Believing that Eris exists is very tempting, simply if the thought of chaos being the root and Eris only being creative manifestations of that..

This question is one I've been struggling with as of late. As I am unsure I'll refrain from answering.

i accidentally explained my belief in a higher being to my friend thusly:

Friend: when did you realize you didn't believe in god?
Me: that's a long, sad story.
F: okay i won't ask then. but seriously, do you believe in anything?
M: yeah, but it's nothing like "god." that just seems silly to me.
F: okay but whatever it is, why would it allow suffering <etc etc etc>
M: Maybe because it's too big and complex to be aware of us as individuals. Maybe it is to us as we are to cells in our body, or macroeconomics is to you buying a bag of weed.
F: uhh... i think you blew my mind just now. so god is whatever everything adds up to?
M: no, whatever it adds up to is just whatever it adds up to. "god" is the fact that it adds up.

That is, give or take a few details, not to mention my mental masturbation musings flavour of the week, pretty much exactly what my belief "system" also boils down to.

Still makes me wonder if I commit a holocaust every time I empty my bowels, though.

[themenniss]

there may be a deity... but i'll never know for sure.

Thanks guys.

I'm an apatheist. Don't care if there's a deity of some kind, and I tend to think that if there was and it/they cared what we monkeys thought about it, it's go all Old Testament on us and demand our worship. But that doesn't seem to happen.
