I was looking at the existential discussions/arguments in the other threads last night related to belief/religion. Y’know, some people are going to believe in the existence of a deity/deities, regardless of what anyone says; others will say the existence of such is improbable (or in some cases even assert that it’s impossible).

It strikes me as absurd to quibble over who’s more wrong. In fact, to me, it seems nearly as ridiculous as different religious groups claiming that their religion is the real one, the Truth™, and everyone else has it wrong.

You know what? I don’t give a hairy rat’s ass. I’m not going to get in your face and try to cram my beliefs or opinions down your throat, nor am I going to insult you for whatever you believe or don’t believe in (unless you’re a foul bigot, racist. etc.). As long as you do likewise and stay out of my face, we’ll get along fine. If I spend an hour arguing with you over something neither of us is going to change our minds about, then that’s a wasted hour of my life that I can never get back.

Our lives are relatively short and we are all going to die—no one escapes from here alive. That’s an indisputable fact that we call all be 100% certain of. Wasting any of that precious time quibbling is by far the most wrong thing to do, IMO.

Easy peasy—see? //
