Honestly, it becomes a pain in the ass when I'm just leisurely playing RO when some random person comes up and asks "Are you Pinoy?"
WHO CARES WHAT NATIONALITY I AM.
Does it matter in virtue world? I don't think so because virtue world SHOULD only revolve around virtue world - and not reality.
MOVING ON.
(This might be a tad bit offending to some people, but DEAL with it.)
Why do people ALWAYS lecture me on God? I respect other peoples' views but why can't they accept my nonchalant views.
"Agnosticism is the philosophical view that the truth value of certain claims — particularly metaphysical claims regarding theology, afterlife or the existence of God, gods, deities, ghosts or even ultimate reality — is unknown or, depending on the form of agnosticism, inherently impossible to prove or disprove." - Some Awesome Site.
I know sometimes I sound more like an Atheist instead of an Agnostic and yeah, sometimes I have to fight the urge to scoff at the idea of God because our world is all messed up because of human beings, and yet this formless Supreme Being is nowhere to be seen, helping us.
"Atheism, as an explicit position, can be either the affirmation of the nonexistence of gods, or the rejection of theism. It is also defined more broadly as synonymous with any form of nontheism, including the simple absence of belief in deities." - Some Awesome Site.
Sometimes; I wonder if I am Agnostic or Atheist because I am "skeptical of all supernatural beings and cite a lack of empirical evidence for the existence of deities", but I believe that I fall under the category of
Apathetic agnosticism.
"
Apathetic agnosticism - the view that there is no proof of either the existence or nonexistence of any deity, but since any deity that may exist appears unconcerned for the universe or the welfare of its inhabitants, the question is largely academic anyway." - Some Awesome Site.
However, I can somewhat fall under the category of
Agnostic atheism because - as aformentioned - I laugh at the very idea of deities and ghosts; however, if that is the case, then my views should clash because I sometimes do like to use God as a scapegoat for "bad luck, good luck, and etc." and the fact that I use "Oh my god" and such phrases in my everyday lingo without really referring to The Supreme Being in general.
I believe, you should all be informed by now that I don't believe in luck or guardian angels; I believe in the scientific views of timing, place and situation. If you were to stumble upon something that would be deemed as "unlucky", I just believe that you were at the wrong place in the wrong time; and that if you had been faster or slower, you would not be in such a situation.
Okay, so my views
always clash with my mother's views but at least, I don't act like a bitch and go on and on and try to force my views on people (like some unnamed people who make it their life's duty to rain upon me with their unwanted beliefs). I believe that one person's morality, beliefs and ethical views are different from someone else's but in the past, the Church has tried to dominate and supress other views that are deemed "heretical" like how the world did not revolve around The Earth and how our planet was not flat.
An example of this would be
Galileo Galilei, who was an astromer who played a large role in the Scientific Revoution. Some of his achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism. He was considered the "father of modern physics and astronomical observations"; but in 1633, he was trialed for heresy and was placed under house arrest, take back what he believed in and had his
Dialogue banned.
It was later proven that he had been right and that The Church had been wrong.
There are more cases that deal with forcing beliefs on other people like The Hitler Fiasco and other controversal historical events.
Before I rest my case - as a lot of people probably have the subject title swerving in their heads - I would just like to say that I don't mean to offend ANYONE who actually reads this and that, I'm only trying to indulge in my views and have it written somewhere for me to relieve my poor head from masses of frustration.
I rest my case now, before it gets out of hand and I have people throwing bricks at me.
P.S. Very soon, I will have an entry on Discrimination of any sort posted up, but right now, it's just my religious beliefs that clash with my mother AND my religious beliefs clash with themselves.
I might also have an entry about Humanity and other Philosophical issues, that deal with God and other religions. You can bash me all you like but I really don't give a crap, Dearie. :)
P.P.S. Chapter two of NTS is currently at 2792 words, and still increasing, but my muse has disappeared for now as
Mama is a tiring charade to deal with.
