You know, all this time I’ve read your name as “Magic Quitter” without giving it too much thought. Now that I get it right it makes so much more sense… *slaps forehead*

I suppose that for some religious people, anything bad that happens to us can be interpreted either as a punishment because we’ve done something “bad”, or as a test in which we’re supposed to prove ourselves worthy.

In the meanwhile your spine was literaly strangling your poor medulla.

It is always good to have some possitive things on your side, things that make sense and help you get through the day. I don’t know if I could endure something like what you have, but I still use things like humor and crushing people’s heads on the streets…

Well, I think it’s mainly about bad jokes, but it doesn’t sound so pretty when you put it like that.

I think it is important to take things one day at a time. When you try to see the big picture, it might be counterproductive, it might be too overwhelming to be useful. I think I share that one with you.

The other ones… I think I don’t have enough knowledge of myself and the world yet. Maybe someday.

Hey and I always dream quite vividly, since I can remember. I used to think it was normal, then I read stuff about people dreaming in black and white and bits and pieces and not remembering their dreams and I was really surprised. I dropped my jaw when I was little and told one of my playmates about one dream I had, and he replied “Uh, I don’t dream.”.

Not only surprising, but sad too. Maybe one of the reasons I naturally like to sleep, is because it’s like going to watch a movie. And nobody bothers you with their commenting.

Pain I have found to be a curse and a blessing…it has taught me a lot

To take things one day at a time
To know my limitations
To see what is important in life
To see what I am made of
.

Seems to me like your dreams are a positive….are they related to the drugs you must take or have you always been a vivid dreamer?

Also your sense of humour is a positive…wicked though it may be and I too found the fruit covered in chocolate to be funny.

FYI, head crusher is SO much cooler than face pincher!

Well, I don’t have any personal thing against descartes. But it’s been a while… I have the book on my bedsit waiting to be read again.

(Btw, I’m an atheist … but I feel it’s my loss.)

I am an atheist, but I’ve never felt it as a loss… I was raised as a catholic, and had a first communion and all the fuss. I remember being an atheist around the age of 12…. after a long process. The fact that I got out of a religion is one of the things that makes me the most proud about myself. I love being an atheist.

My mom occassionally tells me that I have depression because I am an atheist and have no one to turn to in times of need. She is also an atheist, but she also feels it’s her loss. This makes me sad.

I need to make a topic about why it is much better to be an atheist. I think I don’t have the first post about atheism here actually…

AND YES, WHAT A BITCH, THANK YOU.

and theoretically being able to strip down and run around the world chopping people’s heads off their bodies or something like that.

is this you?

Descartes being really dumb

Ha, had to read this for philosophy class many years ago. I seem to remember every other sentence starting “Unless the Devil deceives me.”

Alabaster Crippens,

God must exist because (and I’m paraphrasing here) ‘God is really cool and I want him to exist because it will make me feel warm and cosy at night when I’m thinking’.

I think that’s the best reason for God to exist – because he helps you and makes your life better. Empirical reasoning for sure but the only kind you can prove! (Btw, I’m an atheist … but I feel it’s my loss.)

this morning I bumped into one of them, who, knowing I have been missing work just attempted to say with a bored look: “oh, you’re dropping out again, right?”.

What a BITCH!
