God was the original From Software. He's a sadist. Why would you booby trap all the best sensations like that? Heroin is the best feeling ever, but it curses you for life. The best tasting food is also the the most unhealthy. Another great feeling, sex, is boobytrapped with all kinds of nasty...
I find that while most of the time I'm undecided on whether or not there is a higher power, when I'm in a really bad state and I appeal to a higher power for help, I get a feeling of calm and it does seem to help. Then I beg for forgiveness, ask for guidance, promise not go astray... then fall...
Oh sorry, I'm on low sleep. That was in reference to secular therapies having a positive effect on mental problems. If you believe something is going to help and that you aren't alone, those feelings of hope, relief, etc. can cause some healing. It's similar to how people who longer have...
Which book is more metal? I vote Ecclesiastes-"All is Vanity" and "Meaningless. Everything is Meaningless". Job is home to one of the best catch-phrases though; "From where did you come, Satan?" ."From going to and fro in the Earth, and from walking up and down in it".

The Last movie I watched was Au Hasard Balthazar, an early 60's French classic directed by Robert Bresson, whose films are often noted for the transcendent quality that he strived to instill in them. It's about the life of an oft-mistreated donkey and the characters who surround him. By the end...
I'm using the manifestation of dolphin characteristics that are Also among the most cherished human characteristics as at least an attempt to start bridging the gap.
In my opinion, there simply needs to come about a sea change in ethics for this to occur. In my mind, it simply makes sense that now that we have the option to get all our nutritional requirements from other sources besides animals, that the latter option is superior because it has high...
