I feel like updating, because I have nothing better to do presently. For starters, to those of you who enjoy distasteful humor, I made a video and posted it on YouTube, which can be found here. It's insensitive and quite possible offensive, but I think it's hilarious. Think of it as a joke alternative theory about the WTC attacks. I willingly call myself an asshole. Click if you want.

Most of you should have noticed by now that I don't believe in God; and as an atheist, I have gone through a couple phases over the past few years. There was a time when coming across someone online who declared that they believed in God or that such and such a thing was wrong for religious reasons would compel me to pick a verbal fight with them. What I want to say is that I no longer care what a person believes, and I can pretty easily just move along without bothering anyone. I might offer my two cents every now and then, but I am genuinely not interested in online debates anymore, particularly if it is between an atheist and a fundamentalist Christian, or what have you.

I am actually in the middle of a discussion with someone on deviantART right now, but he is reasonable and has put forth some interesting points of view. One of the main topics deals with whether or not religious beliefs should have a say in politics. I really don't want even to paraphrase what I said, because it would require more time and thought than I feel like expending right now. It's going on here. One thing I will mention is that, regarding morals and ethics, particularly as they pertain to legislation, I take each issue on a case-by-case basis. When it comes to religion, the answers to all these issues are prescribed and not open to debate and, to a lesser extent, interpretation. That is my concern, and why I don't like to see religious people influencing political decisions. It is usually the case that their mind is already made up, and any kind of argument they make in favor thereof is merely a specious rationalization. The guy I'm talking to feels that in a democracy, everyone should have a say, regardless of their beliefs, and I will concede that that is perfectly reasonable and something with which I can't really argue, lest I sound like a fascist (another discussion). This is relevant because, if I feel Christians, for example, should not allow their beliefs to become involved in politics, why should an atheist be allowed to do the same? The reason is what I stated earlier, and I really need to get going ... Comments are welcome.
