Fuck you.
In a recent speech, you equated atheism with Nazism. I am not a Nazi and the two concepts have nothing to do with each other.Yes, we live in an age where religion is quickly dying out. In the past, religion served to 'fill in the gaps' of human knowledge. Whenever science has come along to fill those gaps with the truth, those clinging to their religious beliefs stop the progress of science, and for many centuries, religion has held back the human race and our progression forward.Today we live in an era dominated by science and technology; new discoveries are being made every day, and we know more about the universe and it's workings than anyone in history. This is a scary thing for religion, because it's purpose of 'filling in the gaps' is quickly becoming vestigial. It is, of course, no wonder that a large number of religious bodies are aggressively fighting against this new era of humanity, and it's not surprising to watch them go to such ridiculous extremes as to make comparisons with Hitler and Nazism. Pathetic, really.But for calling me a Nazi: Fuck you.
It's ultimately futile to expect perfection unless you're Tim Minchin at which point you have achieved Zen-like levels of comedy enlightenment.
Who's talking about perfection? My, you really do get disheartened quickly. Why play bass? You'll never be Jimmy Hendrix (or whoever is to bass who he is to the guitar). It's futile, go get high instead.
Improving makes me happy.
Yeah, sorry, I did have another paragraph that I deleted. Replace "perfection" with "complete knowledge." I still think Tim Minchin is awesome though =DJuju: You are confusing 'reality' and 'perception of reality.'
