9665: dead freq

Have you prayed for me?

Have you heard mine?

Let's meet in the idea hall

and let's dine

I'll present you with my theories

have a meeting of minds

present me with yours

and maybe then we'll find

a formula that works

In this new time.

Spare me the stories

and analogies

if the message is the fruit

I'll take what's inside please

Can you not see the irony?

Are you keeping up with me?



So are we all just singing the same song?

Can you hear it? can you sing along?



Just between God, you, and me

I am a Christian

but it depends

on the definition

If Christ stands for peace, love, and against all things evil

then I will stand with him

2000 years have passed

and I can still hear it loud

but maybe we can help repeat it

for the rest of the crowd

But in this new age

everyone is a skeptic

they wont believe in tricks

and tales of magic


Help me write this song

or at least sing along



I am not the greatest writer

and I am limited

by these tools

of language

I am not the greatest of minds

Let's put two and two together

and maybe we'll find

a new message for all of mankind


Spare me your

fear and hysteria

your reasons for panic

are x's in the formula


Nobody's knows now

nobody knows

celebrated our 5th yesterday. It was a good day :)

Overall, the days in the 5 years with her have been better then without. That's all that matters.

9660: lesson of appreciation

Remember to appreciate the complexities of ourselves. This helps to love others around you, to appreciate everything that makes them who they are.

9660: another post

I couldn't bring myself to post this in the pyros forum. If anyone reads this from there, I just didn't want it to be read in the context of that debate:

"Thinking about it, pluralism doesn't appeal to me that much because each religion only brings about more questions. It's like watching Lost, as intriguing as it may be, the answers as to what's beyond our collective knowledge... is exactly that.

There's this deep and profound line that I keep coming back to, I think it was Einstein who said, "Everything I know is but a drop in the ocean of knowledge."

This is my addition:

Then everything that every human knows is a sea. The size of the ocean is the size of everything that we will know in our entire existence. These are the facts of the universe, things like, the Earth is round. Religion speculates on things that may not even be in the ocean at all. We may end up killing our entire human race before we, in this living universe, will know what happens when we die.

The ocean may be small (if we all died soon), it could be a billion times larger then it is now, it could even be infinite.

All we can do is pray that we have more time, don't kill ourselves and push it farther. We may have to tread through waters that have already been tread many times, and relearn things, those are the facts of life. You have to find the edge before you can push it farther.

If knowledge is a gift from God, then we have to thrive on it."

this was handy

I must of subtracted leap years twice or something, I'm 9658 today. Wrote a little in my book today, I should finish that before I'm 10,000

9658: excerpt from castle pyros convo

This conversation has occupied a lot of my mental time as of late.

I don't think I can make a more intellectually sound statement then Kevin has, but I did want to say a quick couple things. I'm not going to explain things very much, so try to keep up with me.

Evolution of religion. That's a line in that Einstein quote I posted earlier, when I read that, I started thinking about this and imagined a long line of religions building up to the point where it is now. I started thinking about where the future could be and imagine a meeting of minds, where people come together and say, "we believed some crazy shit, you believed some crazy shit, let's come to some conclusions together."

Josh and Jay, I've never denied the existence of God. I have felt the same anxiety release experience that you felt Jay, and I have theories.

Ideas along the lines that if God is not all powerful, then maybe he saves his energy for when people are in dire need.

I do not deny the existence of some internal force that we can tap. I don't know what it is, or how it works, but it's helped many people at the worst times. I would disagree that this only happens to Christians, I would have to meet more people from different religions to know.

Maybe speaking to God is you speaking to your subconscious which is telling you what you "think" God would say, or maybe our conscience was programmed in us from the start to keep us on track.

I ask questions like, if this is true, then where is this track headed?

Are we a pet designed for entertainment? If so, then let's have fun, let's enjoy ourselves, let's be entertaining. Is this a trial arena where we must prove ourselves? Then we should strive to be better people. Perhaps our purpose is to spread life to other planets, to spread Gods gift so that when our planet dies, the creation lives on. Then we should strive to advance humanity. After all, exploring the universe, perhaps discovering other life could offer many clues to what's really going on in this vast complex masterpiece.

But when I quit daydreaming and think about things realistically. I ask myself, how can you tell someone that your not sure what happens when you die and how everything came to be but to still be a good person.
