change ideas bulletproof
Ideas are bulletproof.
memories dark childhood
Memory's so treacherous. One moment you're lost in a carnival of delights with poignant childhood aromas, the flashing neon on puberty, all that sentimental candyfloss The next, it leads you somewhere you don't want to go.. Somewhere dark and cold, filled with the damp ambiguous shapes of things you'd hoped were forgotten.
people islam belief
I am not saying people should not be free to join whichever reason they choose but should we be forced to live our lives around a belief system that originated somewhere around the fourth or fifth century BC. I cannot see any more reason to base a belief system around Christianity, Judaism or Islam than I can around Lord of the Rings.

All culture must have arisen from cult.

There is no coincidence. Only the illusion of coincidence.
lonely world bigs
Please, don't go. It's lonely. There's a hole in my head as big as the world and it's so very lonely...
world clock made
Who makes the world? Perhaps the world is not made. Perhaps nothing is made. Perhaps it simply is, has been, will always be there…a clock without a craftsman.
numbers mind neurons
In the human mind, the number of possible connections that can be made between neurons greatly exceeds the number of atoms in the universe.
