The Three Tenets of Existential Terrorism

Words are not things or actions. They are vibrations of the air molecules or squiggles on a page. Mistaking words for reality is the mistake that puts politicians in office and sells all of the products, religions, and systems of government on the planet. Saying "Tree" is no more a tree than saying "I love you" means that someone loves you. To perceive reality as it is, one must accept that words are a vehicle for the transference of our perception of reality, not reality itself.
God is dead. I killed him (it, them, her, et al) on November 5th, 1991. Justifiable Homicide. The idea that the universe is run by some cosmic supra-hero concept of ourselves is absurd and unproven. The idea that the creator of the universe put us here in these bodies to satisfy some moral experiment is offensive. The God question; "What are we doing here?", may or may not be valid. At this time, we are here because the physical laws of the universe are not completely against our existence. Our short time of consciousness would be far better served ensuring our survival rather than posturing before some misanthropic cosmic deity.
The only government, the only rule of law, is economics. However our societies are structured, whatever religion or ethnicity, we have all decided that those with relatively more assets have better lives than those with less relative wealth. All measured value is economic value in this system.

The guy in the funny hat resigned




Image result for pope in the funny hat
Pope Benedict has resigned to much media coverage.  Some other guy in a different funny hat will become the leader of about a billion Catholics.  So it goes.  I find all of the media noise much ado about nothing.  Some other guy will be Pope.  It's not like the new Pope is  going to have Catholics all over the world rise up against infidels or pagans.  Or make all Catholics wear funny hats.  The Catholics will continue to do their Catholic thing.  The only effect it has on me is that I get to be sarcastic.  Not sacrilegious,  because I am not a Catholic.  I am not anything, so I get to make fun of all religions, which are silly in one way or another.  I get to point out the obvious because the law allows it and social pressure is minimal for a barely seen blog.  When the time comes when I can't make fun of the silly religions of the world, and it may come in my lifetime, the promise of the human intellect will be stamped out like" a boot stomping on a human face, forever".
