2004-04-12 - 12:21 p.m. 8-mile Beware of people that value life less than you do. They are out there and they can hurt you. This person will try to take something you have. They might try to take your wallet. They may try to take your information. They probably will try and take your life. The desperate are a tough crowd to deal with. I was at an Easter Sunday dinner yesterday, and these telemarketers kept calling. The person whose house it was felt very upset at all the atheists calling during Sunday lunch and dinner. But I think that atheist should be pretty harmless people. They don�t believe in God which means that there is no afterlife. This means when you die, that the end of the line. The God fearing type have a heaven to look forward to. I would contend that the atheists value life a lot more than the God fearers. If atheists had a theme song it would be that 8-Mile song M&M wrote. You only get one shot. Which makes me feel the allure of atheists is that if you truly believe in nothing else, you must have to try and live life to the absolute fullest. You can�t reset. You can�t do it over again. You life is in stone and the decisions you made are stuck forever. It�s a hard life I think, that of an atheist. I guess that a lot of them don�t see it that way though, because it would be maddening. On a lighter side note: Lessons I learned from Nintendo, that turned out to be bad ideas. 1) No matter what the drug dealer tells you, you won�t get big from eating mushrooms. 2) There are no gold coins if you crawl down into a pipe. 3) If you shoot the dog in real life; he dies. 4) All Asians aren�t ninjas. 5) People don�t like it when you destroy everything in their room looking for �items.� 6) If you see a crack in the wall, don�t put a bomb in it to find the secret room. 7) If Bad Dudes Kidnap the president�you aren�t a bad enough dude to deal with it. 8) A whip isn�t going to take down Dracula 9) You can�t swim better in a frog suit. 10) Things don�t magically start working again, just by blowing on them repeatedly. | |||||||||||
