Contemplations

I once had a discussion with a friend of mine regarding the existence of God. My friend pointed out that there were several reasons why we can safely discount the existence of a creator for the universe.

Later on, I started reading books on philosophy. One of the major questions they had in common was "Does God exist?" Many thought experiments were suggested to the readers, and some solutions were proposed, amongst which Occam's Razor stood out to me.

So.. if there is a good reason not to believe that God exists,
then.. why all the fighting over which name we should call him by?

inb4 religious people start hating on me

it's who you wanna be, not what you do

I don't know why, but lately I've taken up old games again. For example, Jedi Academy. It's a 2003 game, which makes it 5 years old this year. Yet, so far it is the best PC Jedi game I've played. I guess I like the hack and slash method of playing with an [almost] invulnerable Jedi and his lightsabre. My favourite combo? Force grip the enemy over the cliffs. Clearing out evil with Dark side powers is a different way to play the game.

when life hands you a lemon, make lemonade

It's interesting how we humans tend to gravitate to doing similar things. For example, the RO trend somehow got introduced into my class by Matthew. So now most of us are hooked by it. Oh well. How the heck do we play on a massively laggy connection? But never mind about that.
I like this tendency. Cause it means that we can take advantage to socialise. How interesting. That's why whoever came out with the above statement means that he/she was a good observer of human nature.

But I like lemon sherbet better.
