Suspension of Disbelief

Throughout history marriage has been an important institution. It is important, not necessarily because of why it exists however, but that it has existed since pre-history, to be sure. Of course it is important for why it did exist, but of that question we cannot be sure of an answer and therefore should take into account inaccuracies in our own deduction. Over time, our deductions have been biased heavily by our own present interpretation of the institution of marriage, which in it's own right, could very well be inaccurate as well. Many anthropologists have taken the same information over time and come up with many different views on marriage historically. Some believe that it was a means of support for women and child rearing. Others have speculated that it was the opposite, that men have come to the institution as a means for their own survival and procreation. Some claimed that marriage was male dominated and enacted and others claimed it was female dominated and enacted each ...

Throughout our lives, it seems that we are constantly yearning for more. We want more happiness, more joy, more love, and ideally a whole lot more sleep. Undoubtably so, this desire has existed from the very beginning. From roaming nomads we sought home and familiarity. From civilization onward, we've desired family and thus independence there-from. We gained communities and deism which gave existence a point and formed government and constitutions to protect our lives and our rights. And still we yearn. Still we desire something. Who knows what the future could hold. Perhaps the desire for utopia isn't so foolish a dream after all.

Up until this point I haven't discussed politics much. But, I figure that during this primary season there are a few things that I'd like to see change. They are as follows: 1. I don't want a president who thinks that their god is talking to them, telling them what to do. I beg to ask why one who says this, like President Bush, isn't required to have their head examined. I mean, if I went on TV tomorrow, or even if President Bush went on TV tomorrow, and said that Thor the god of thunder said to invade a soverign nation that was in actuality standing against another country, Iran, which we had a vested interest in seeing depressed, they would've carted him and I off to the nearest mental health facility. I mean, it's crazy that one could be hearing voices from Thor. Enough said. No more god talk. 2. Timetables. I don't want to hear a thing about timetables. What you're saying when you said "timetable" is simply this: We're looking to keep ...

I made mention a while back about my belief that predestination was not real and gave evidence to support this. I used a logic based argument to explain that if there were infinite choices in life that there would be no possible way for predestination to exist. Likewise, I theorized that there were infinite possibilities and therefore predestination could not exist. However, now I would like to take another approach to the subject and perhaps thicken it a bit. Predestination can exist even if there are infinite choices. Look at it this way... You are only what you are made of. There is no external or "other-worldly" part of you. You are solely what your DNA makes you regardless of what religion tells you, without evidence I might add. Far be it from me to stick clear from speculation and stick to evidence-based scientific fact. Therefore, even if we have an infinite number of choices, we will always choose the one that we choose. Like I said, we are what we're made of. Th...

Talk about a brain wave... I was sitting around here reading past posts and it came to me finally... and as most things do... right out of thin air... Predestination is real. The butterfly effect is real. From the beginning, everything was planned and everything was going to happen, even in infinity. The sole realization however is that we WANT it to happen. People see predestination as what we don't want or are forced into, but it's the OPPOSITE. It's EVERYTHING that we want! Predestination is the physical manifestation in our actions of things we based on our genes and our interactions predetermined with others' genes whose result is also predetermined and WE WANT IT. It doesn't matter if it's predetermined so long as we want it. I'll have more on this later... I have to think it over some Also- Gun Laws Logic and a little something else.
