For fucks sake...

Sure, the odds against existence are pretty ridiculous, though if you test a one-in-a-billion chance a few billion times, it's pretty likely to happen. Sure, it's a convenient time to be alive, but the utter meaninglessness of existence can be somewhat depressing. Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but that's how I think about it. I'm not one of those people who will likely change the world... And even if I did, the universe wouldn't care one bit. Humanity itself is just a blip... Civilization has been around for thousands of years, but that's nothing compared to the Earth itself, to the solar system, the galaxy, the galactic cluster... The planet could be destroyed tomorrow in a massive supernova, and it still wouldn't matter. And even if you confine your perspective to humanity itself... An individual is, in most cases, pretty insignificant. Just one more cog in the great machine... And when you're done, all you have to look forward to is nothingness. You go to sleep one day (If you're lucky), and you never wake up. Kind of depressing.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

Pathetic." He turned and walked slowly down the stream for twenty yards, splashed across it, and walked slowly back on the other side. Then he looked at himself in the water again. "As I thought," he said. "No better from this side. But nobody minds. Nobody cares. Pathetic, that's what it is."

Religion promises everything and delivers nothing; it is a means by which the ignorant masses can be easily controlled. Someone once told me that the reason something bad happened was gods will. I told him to fuck off and never darken my door again. Ignorant twat. Him, not me. Hey, it's my post!

Take some LSD or mushrooms or something, you need a perspective shift.

Eh, I'm an atheist, too, but I actually envy the religious folks... Reality is depressing... Having something to look forward to at the end, would probably make it a little more tolerable. "Where is Polonious?" "At dinner. Not where he eats, but where he is eaten. A certain convocation of politic worms are at him e'en now."
Versus... "In heaven. Send one of your messengers forthwith. If he finds him not there, you may seek him out in the other place yourself."
