Planesdragon's Journal: Life

This is for everyone on my "fans" list who isn't where they want to be in their lives at the moment.

For everyone who thinks that life sucks.

For everyone who doesn't believe that there is some benevolent, all-mighty thing out there watching them and handing them a script.

For everyone who is growing, and scared of what the world around them is becoming or what they are growing into or growing out of.

The lives that we lead are not to be spent in any particular way. Our lives are not destined to be spent in prasie of a dead man, in study of arcane secrets, in droll labor to enrich another, or even in the creation of a legacy of industry or family.

Our lives are to be spent living. We were all created to be, first and foremost, and anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to deprive you of the wondrous freedom that I happen to believe God gave us and wants us to exercise.

My religion is thus: God likes you, and is watching even when no one else is. He isn't a judge taking down notes, but a member of an audience glued to the edge of his seat as you live out your life.

Please keep that in mind, and live your life in exactly the way you want to live it. Only failure to do that is blasphemy. Only refusal to be yourself is unforgiviable sin.

(Feel free to tell me I'm wrong about God. But don't you dare for a moment think that you life is for anything grander than living.)

Seriously though, that's an interesting thought. observe
If you were watching TV, would you appreciate it if the characters on TV were watching TV? of course not. So if god is watching us, watching TV would be boring to god, so we should do something more interesting; like have lots of sex. Sex has got to be the killer app of life.

As for myself? I'm just trying to live up to prior commitments. Mabye someday in the future I'll be given a choice to commit to things or not to commit to things, mabye I'll

Free will- the gift and the curse

For everyone who doesn't believe that there is some benevolent, all-mighty thing out there watching them and handing them a script.

The problem isn't whether God exists or not, it's that God apparently on purpose created something in intelligent life that he either can't control, or chooses NOT to control: free will. It isn't God who created my situation, horrible as it is. It was my free will to choose to be a computer programmer, the free will of the government to create corporations, the free will of
