Those who believe in religion and an afterlife often deny themselves the good stuff they can enjoy in this life so that they can get better things in the next. Now for argument’s sake, let’s imagine that there’s a God who did in fact, create all that we see. Now also imagine yourself at home cooking a great meal with the best ingredients for your friends. Wouldn’t you be happiest if they finished every last bit of the meal? So if God did create everything around us, don’t you think God would be happiest if we enjoyed every second of our lives and the world around us?
So enjoy your lives my friends – enjoy every little thing that makes you happy and don’t waste it trying to fit into the virtuous straitjacket that society expects you to put on.
As Benjamin Franklin said.. “One today is worth two tomorrows“

Racism and fundamentalism – what do they have in common? It’s the notion that one’s race/religion is superior to all others and therefore all the outsiders are somehow lesser individuals. When Senator Barack Obama is ‘accused‘ of attending a madrassa as a child, why does it create so much news? As much as I detest the concept of madrassas in principle (or any other religious school where you only interact with kids of one religion), it is just another religious school (and no, madrassas are not automatically terrorist training camps!) How ridiculous would it be if someone was accused of attending, oh I don’t know.. a convent school?
You might expect Senator Obama to at least appreciate how ridiculous this accusation might be, but according to this blog he had a strong response to the Fox news story (emphasis mine)
To be clear, Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ in Chicago. Furthermore, the Indonesian school Obama attended in Jakarta is a public school that is not and never has been a Madrassa.
Translation: Don’t call me a Muslim since it’s offensive to me – I’d rather have you think of me as a nice and goody Christian. Dang you, racist Fox news!
