MAN / DEATH / GOD / WAR / THE GRAVE
Death is inevitable and un-avoidable yet very important and absolutely necessary!
Imagine life or a world without death – BY GOD! The dinosaurs would be using us all as stepping-stones, if they could get through the trees and foliage! All creatures or life-forms, including Man, the APE, that eat not (if there is no death then no creature may eat because to eat means to kill), shit not (if one eats not, one shits not; obvious), sleep not, work not, fight not, fart not (I like this), fornicate not, and struggle not (all creatures and plants struggle and rush ever forward, onward, and upwards, first to survive, and eventually on to death); in short, DO NAUGHT AND DIE NOT!
In two words: IM-POSSIBLE! (I know it is one word)Mankind, the worst species of APES ever to evolve – vain, greedy, selfish, vicious, mischievous, malicious, cruel, and vindictive – in their ignorance and illusions, self-delusions and superstitious fear; go to bed, or mat, or whatever, each night; thanking a ruthless and merciless God that does not exist; little knowing, that with every sunrise and sunset, they are drawn ever closer to the grave – the abyss! And this after spending, actually wasting, the whole day conning, duping, cheating, lying to, stealing from, pushing, kicking, butting, barking at and biting, trampling on, fighting and killing his fellow APES! Meanwhile, they fornicate and multiply like rabbits, and decimate themselves at the same time through silly, ludicrous, and ridiculous wars –'MAXIMA BELLA EX LEVISSIMIS CAUSIS' that's in Latin, and it means 'THE GREATEST WARS ARE FOR THE SILLIEST CAUSES' – all the while, praying to, calling on, asking, and begging that same God whom they had invented in the first place – in their various and separate religions that they had created in order to have a reason and an excuse to do all of the above – to help, strengthen, and protect them against their Fellow-Apes, and themselves!
I ask you!
Hey Daniel, you appear to have quite an opinion on a number of matters, none I have thus far looked at, inspire me with your sense of compassion and caring for your fellow human. It is interesting also that you deny a Creator Entity and yet invoke "MY GOD" for literary effect. Death comes all to soon for many in today's World. Religion and humanity's disagreement about it spark many of the disputes which see children, women and men slaughtered. This is wrong whomever is doing the shooting, bombing or starving...
For my part in the relative security of New Zealand I am horrified by the stream of dead sent prematurely to Allah, God, or the Atheistic void... take your pick.
Living where I do and in a rural location without the distraction of bombs hurtling around I find time to contemplate the reality of mine existence. I'm drawn to a Universe created and elegant in design. I'm drawn to the thought that just as we when creating an object d'art the "Creator places It's essence into the Creation that we are. Of course this is my subjective view and I strongly support your likely different view.
My view brings me to the idea that the Creator Consciousness would much prefer the creation to be a bit more cohesive and tolerant of the great diversity we have thank God been blessed with.
Enjoy the rest of your life, gregfullmoon.

First, thank you for taking the trouble and the time to read my NOT-SO-HUMBLE comments.
Second, thank you kindly for your comments. I appreciate them.
There was a time, once upon a time (a long time ago, when I was very young) when I also believed not only in God, but in Santa Claus, too. Santa Claus was exposed very early in my life (I was only five at the time). He turned out to be my late beloved father (I caught him putting on the outfit and mask) who sat me on his lap and explained it all to me. Even then, at such a tender age, I realized how hard he struggled and worked to look after, and care for, us, and how he and they lied to us and let that non-existent old goat take all the credit for it! I cried so hard and would not be consoled.
As for God; I discovered his non-existence when I was a little bit older; when I asked our local vicar: If we're all descended from Adam and Eve, where did the Africans with black skins and wooly hair, and the Chinese with slanted eyes and rounded faces, Etc, all come from?
He explained it to me, and since then I've looked for someone somewhere to explain his explanation – in vain! BY GOD!
By the way, BY GOD is just my signing-off signature. That's the way I sign off – most of the time.
Once again; thanks.

Death is new, beautiful, and meaningful. It completes life, really. I agree with everything you said in this article.
