Islam is the sword of the dispossessed.

Judaism is for those God chooses.

Buddhism is for those of us who give up on life and don't want to come back to it.

Confucianism is for those who want to do well in life.

Hinduism is theological multiculturalism, maybe?

Atheism is for learned people.

Agnosticism is truth.

Okay.

Are these the ACTUAL IRREFUTABLE Truths, of Life?

Or, are these just "gary childress's" OWN views and opinions, ONLY, here?

Yes.

If 'this' is what you BELIEVE is true, then okay. But, HOW, exactly, are you so-called "lazy and incompetent ones" going to punish "yourselves", and in 'WHAT WAY', exactly?

Firstly, if you are REALLY "lazy and incompetent", then you will NOT BE ABLE TO punish "yourselves".

Secondly, even if you could, then in 'WHAT WAY/S' WILL you punish "yourselves", exactly?

That's a good question. Maybe I can solicit your help. Do you work for free?

When Age won't even converse with you, then you know things have gotten really bad.

Virtue to a wicked person is chasing everyone else away.

Virtue for the sick is going down with the ship.
Virtue for the healthy is seeking to be wealthy.

A wise fool keeps to himself.

The best way to avoid a straight jacket is to make yourself depressed.

Virtuous libertines only watch.

Top recreational activities for the pious:

1. Slumming.
2. Donating to the wicked.

A friend told me about this interview a few years back. It kind of speaks to my mood right now.

I hope you aren't having another breakdown. Who caused it this time? Age or IC?

Nobody in particular. Just feeling extremely depressed over life. Of course, the stuff I've posted in this thread hasn't helped. I'll chalk it up to being a deterministic machine. I suppose I can't help being a weirdo.

Do human beings come through 'gates', when coming into this Life?

No. They enter through vaginas and leave through gates.

So, so the term 'pearly gates' could NEVER EVER be just referring to the opening of the vagina to allow a new life, to enter Life, Itself, but is ONLY referring to some IMAGINED, 'metal things', ONLY, right?

Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2025 11:02 am But women tend to guard their vaginas and men tend to guard gates.

Do not "husbands", and/or "fathers", sometimes tend to guard vaginas, from others entering them?

Gary Childress wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2025 11:02 am Vaginas work best as output devices. Gates go both ways.

If the opening of vaginas did not go both ways, then there would not be human life on earth.

And, what do ACTUAL 'saints' DO, EXACTLY?

I give up. What do they do?

you CLAIMED that, God stationed St. Peter at the gate.

I am just CURIOS as to what this so-called "saint" is ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE DOING, at the gate, EXACTLY?

If you ONLY KNOW that God stationed 'that one' there, but do NOT KNOW what 'it' is SUPPOSED TO BE DOING, there, then okay.

So, to you it is better to not do absolutely ANY thing AT ALL, like breathing and sleeping, for example, then it is to do evil.

Also, how are you defining the 'evil' word, here, EXACTLY?
