Everyday your dieing

The key to wisdom is this -- constant and frequent questioning ... for by doubting we are led to question and by questioning we arrive at the truth.-- Peter Abelard



Everyday, if your mind is open to it, you are reminded of your mortality. I’ve had a couple of experiences lately that brought home just how short our time here is and so I want to deal with the big one before I do anything else and the moment has pasted.
Death is the end of existence. The black hole of life when it comes there is nothing more, no reward of punishment, no passage into another life, no second chance, and no comic book eternity of anything. If you want to know what’s coming try to remember before you where born. There you've got it.
Now this is just what I have come to except but I have never seen, heard, or read any evidence that has shown me otherwise. All the things that people have come to believe about after death are merely wishful thinking or delusions. The human ego is so strong that it cannot accept there will be a time that it will not exist in some form. So we invent afterlives or even repeating lives anything so we don’t have face the truth, you exist and then you don’t. There was a time you didn’t exist and now you do, is it so hard to except there will come a time when you won’t exist again?
We are creatures who have evolved the highest level of consciousness and self-awareness that we know of so far and along with that came our talent to image things. Religion is a corruption of human imagination. We have imaged answers to the questions we can’t answer and we’ve imaged how the universe should be with us at its’ center and then we’ve turned that into faith. Faith is the ability to reconstruct reality to fit our beliefs.

Just wondering

It’s amazing how the world of the invisible and the world of the inexistent look so much alike.

Very early on I gave up on the idea of God long before I reached sexual maturity, if there is such a thing. So now I find myself wondering if you believe that God is everywhere watching everything, when you have sex does that make it kind of icky or kinky for you with a third party watching. For me the thought of anyone watching is icky. Or is it more likely that when faced with something so down to earth and real as sex God slips your mind for a while (I wonder if that could mean anything, nay). Though I guess if you if you can keep God in your thoughts while having sex that is kinky.
The Bible has a lot to say about sex and most of it not very good. Especially for women when it comes to sex they're pathetic so much so that when old enough to have children they’ll seduce anyone even their own fathers to get what they want. I think I remember somewhere in the Old Testament that one of the holies things a man could do was take a virgin. Maybe that’s why every time the Israelites defeated someone in war they almost always killed everyone but kept the virgins. After one such raid old Moses’ share was some 2000 virgins but the guys was getting pretty old by then so I’m sure he made sure each any everyone got a good home and a proper education and a chance to start in life new life after having lost their families, but in a good cause of course.
