Quote:i think that this is an apt description for many aetheists. they dont believe that there is a belief system that works. they wont confront this and so they ignore it and sweep it under the table and are then forced to distract themselves with alcohol, food, drugs, porn, tv and the internet.
its probably not a sustainable way of living

So scoot thinks if I find god, it may help me deal with life and it's little peccadillos more easily.
he may be right, one bit he said did concern me.
distract themselves with alcohol, food, drugs, porn, tv and the internet.
Have you been looking through my window???
Quote:Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table
David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
And Hobbes was fond of his dram
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart
"I drink, therefore I am."
Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed
