I'm reading Homer's The Odyssey. I've read it five years back but rereading the thing just keeps of sprouting new random images and ideas in my mind; it's a whole new experience all together.

Now I'm boooooooored again. Bleeaaargh. Not only that, I'm also bored with all my textmates. Especially with this particular dude whom I've just bickered with because I didn't show up in...err. I'm not narrating.XP So. This dude. I met him just once through a friend, and by the end of our booze session, I got so drunk I started talking about God. HAHAHAHAHA.XD Not that I believe in God to begin with. Since the setting was just a few paces away from a church, we began debating about religion. (I know it's way off topic, but I was drunk, mind.) I dunno what ignited the debate, all I remember was that I was garrulous enough to prattle about my brimming hatred towards the god of the Christians: "a jealous, petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a mysogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully" (Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion - free download :P). And this dude suddenly exploded up like a zealous godfreak, incoherently justifying all the morality religion has influenced in the society, that without religion, people would just go stealing stuff and stabbing everybody; it'll be the very face of anarchy he says. Then I backfired enumerating all the immorality religion has caused--the enmity between the Christians and Muslims in this country, not the mention, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Crusades, the Inquisition, the burning of thousands of alleged witches in the first century, Hitler's Holocaust, etcetera. But of course he hadn't experienced what's it like to live in an amoral atheistic world were gods are mere constructed fictions from revisiting aliens whom our ancestors interacted with and worshipped as deities (but of course propounding such a hypothesis (But it's not an assumption! Read The Twelfth Planet and the Earth Chronicles (six volumes) by Zecharia Sitchin.) would raise more eyebrows and yield to more questions of its whys and wherefores. These aliens merely manipulated the ape genes with theirs! (Seriously. We're hybrids of chimps and superhumans.:D Besides, if god created us, why do men have nipples and uncircumcised prepuces? And since god can do whatever he wants anyway why can't he just show up or do just one smashing miracle to end all doubt?) It's just dubitable to people who are ignorant of suchlike. But I don't blame them. Where was I?o_0 Yeah. And my point is: just as electricity comes from electrons, morality comes from morons. Nay, my real point is that: morality is possible to thrive in a religionless society--only if everybody is educated anyway.

The primary point of living of any animal is survival--that is, to not die right away. It's the same as with humans. We all want to live longer in this planet that's why we eat, sleep, exercise, take care of our selves, work so that we can buy more material stuff to support our living, and copulate to create more creatures who will do all these same banalities over and over until the Earth becomes heavier and heavier it'll eat everybody up and turn into a blackhole. But besides all that, another essential ingredient for survival--that is, survival among our fellow earthlings--is altruism. We need to treat them right so that they may treat us just the same. As the saying goes, Do unto others before they do it unto you.XP Nay, Do unto others what you want them to do unto you. In Filipino, Huwag kayong ganyan kung mag ganyan kayo huwag!:P To put, our survival also depends on how people treat us back. It's all in the genes. (O, pano to napunta dito??XD) Our intelligent selfish genes are equipped with information to function as vanguards of cellular creation. And for them to survive, they have to be selfish (that is, doing what they're only tasked to do and nothing else) and inculcate this sense of altruism through the very core of the cells of our bones so that we may live longer to let them live longer. It's a symbiotic relationship.XP Yay biology!XD And that's just one side of the tesseract.:D (Yes, my reasoning is stupid, and I'm proud of it!XD)

Word did you say?
