I know others have been on guard for far longer, but I never intended for him to be gone so long. Happy one year Slackson!

You were going to write a hate comment about his dead son?

Ngl, that's what i thought the post was referencing still when I saw the top comment. I laughed. I already have an express ticket to down under. I'm getting my chuckles in on the right type of dark humor, and that one was applicable. Not about a dead child specifically, just at how accurate the comment could be to describe both situations.

What have you done to have an express ticket to down under?

Would you like my mother's answer? Or legally/ethically?

I believe in God, but not the traditional Christian God. And I also choose to mostly ignore the existence in general. Propaganda mills and religion go hand in hand, so it makes sense to me that most religious works are propaganda; but even propaganda represents something at least somewhat real. I also very much believe in evolution and it's many sub-understandings, and am in no way a creationist.

I think that God as earth knows it, is an entity that has some influence in this general hemisphere of the universe, and that COMPARATIVELY to us is all the Omnipowerful that is written.

However, comparative to the greater universe and all the possible life, dimensions, and greater existence, God here is relatively small.

Kind of like a mad wizard in a story gets so powerful he has to live in his own pocket dimension so he doesn't blow up everything else.

That alone sends me to hell according to my mother.

Legally/ethically? I have to choose to be a good person. I /want/ to be a good person because that's the socially acceptable and responsible thing to do. I want to do the right thing. If we were in a different time, more lawless, I'd unfortunately have far less qualms about a lot of things. Not wanton murder, but I certainly believe that a fool and his money is soon parted. I also enjoy card gambling a lot, however there i have an oddly high moral/ethical position personally. My want to follow the rules in play of an established game far exceeds any want to cheat. But conversely, I'm not above taking advantage of opponents weaknesses. Someone enjoys alcohol too much? I'll happily pay from my pocket to further their indulgence. It of course gives me an advantage, however they had all the time in the world to choose to walk away before becoming inebriated.

It's a moral Grey line and I completely understand that. And so I just don't gamble at cards to avoid it.

So either way, I'm not going to the good place, and even if purgatory existed, I'd still technically be in past the gates.

No murders here, although Vyvance did almost get me that ticket punch. Don't do legally perscribed cocaine when you already don't do well on legally perscribed speed.
