So, I'm a Buddhist now.

So you agree: this life is the only one "I" get, because "I", means "Rip", the unique combination of chemicals that produces this singular being that I Am. "I" am not beholden to what came before and "I" am not concerned with what comes after, because I have Faith that all things will eventually just become One again anyway. So I can spend this lifetime, this singular and sole lifetime in which "I" will be "me", doing whatever the fuck I want, and that INCLUDES telling insufferable fucks to fuck off when they insist on telling me my thinking is "unskilled".

"So the highest level of pleasure you can reach is the sixth world, or life-state (Heaven/Rapture) and you get shot back down into the other lower five worlds."

No wait, that's dumb, forget it. You're removing all of the miracles of pleasure in the world around you and concentrating on esoteric bullshit. I don't know why I responded to this when you didn't respond to mine anyway, because now we'll just go back and forth in circles around the details of your new philosophy, WHICH WAS NEVER THE FUCKING POINT.

The point, again, is that your new answer doesn't work for everyone. Insisting that it does is the height of arrogance and-fuck it I said all of this already. I'll wait 'til you come back around again.

I recommend just enjoying one of the most visually stunning countries in the world.

He posted some pics of the northern lights that were pretty gorgeous.

(I still think you should have gone to the Eve Online monument at CCP headquarters in Reykjavik.)

I'll wait until you address the post I stated my points in, Desp.

Dex, I'd prefer to disagree with you, now. Say something I disagree with.

[Rip]

Seriously Desp, it comes down to one thing: your belief system has the potential to help SOME people. I disagree that it has the potential to help ALL people. I feel that your inability to concede this point colors your responses here and does you no favors.

At first I thought he meant that any religion/belief system, not just his own, had the potential to help people, but after his last few posts I'm not sure that's the case.
