"What fuckups we are! Who are we to write truth?"
we are the only ones here, man. it is ours and ours alone to fuck up or make better for the unknowns that may or may not come after us.
"Give me a god that is stronger than me. Even if God as many people know him doesn't exist, I'd rather go on believing at least in the idea of him, because I make a shitty deity. So does everyone else I have ever met."
this is my point exactly; why have dieties? who needs them? what do they do for people on a practical level other than 'something to believe *in*'? i have no use for them logical, or otherwise and believe me, i have tried. i do not want to be a diety, nor do i want another being, human or not, to be as such.
just as a side point; the term 'postmodern philosophy' bugs the shit out of me predominately because it is based on the assumption of a pre/post 'christ' date. people had these beliefs long before this movement and were ended because of it. yes it 'took' greek thinkers and culture to label such, but the basis for critique has been there as naturally as humans had envolutionary thought, and sexual behaviors.
i also want to just say thank you for the stimulating discussion. i respect all views put here in equal terms, some, IMO, can do it with the discussion in mind and not the person better than others. on all sides of the critique.
