What is Your World View?
created with QuizFarm.comI AM A THINKER, CALM, AND ADMIRE GOOD TASTE, ELEGANCE AND EYE FOR DETAIL. I OFTEN CATCH MYSELF BEING VERY JUDGMENTAL, CRITICAL AND MOST OF THE TIME SKEPTICAL. I AM CONFIDENT AND HAVE A STRONG PERSONALITY. SOMETIMES I CAN APPEAR TO BE QUIET AND TO MYSELF, BUT WHEN I THINK IT'S WORTH WHILE I HAVE A LOT TO SAY. DON'T HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS BECAUSE I BELEIVE YOU CAN HAVE A DEEPER CONNECTION WHEN THERE ARE ONLY A FEW AS OPOSING TO MANY SUPERFICIAL AQUAINTANCES, AND AT THE SAME TIME I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO DEDICATE. I AM LOYAL AND HOLD MY ETHICAL BELEIVES HIGHTLY...THAT IS MY NON RELIGIOUS ETHICAL BELIEVES. I LIKE BEING AWARE OF MY SURROUNDINGS, SO I KEEP UPDATED WITH PODCAST TALK SHOWS, READING, SCHOOL, AND BY RESEARCHING STUFF ON THE INTERNET. MY OBSESSIONS ARE PHILOSOPHY, SCIENCE AND THE ARTS. I LOVE LEARNING AS MUCH AS I CAN ABOUT ANYTHING. DISLIKE WHEN PEOPLE PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE THEY ARE NOT, SO I PREFER HANGGING OUT WITH A DORK WHO IS NOT TRYING TO BE THE "COOL" GUY. RELIGION GIVES ME A BAD TRIP, NOT BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO BE REBELLIOUS, IT JUST DOES NOT MAKE SENSE, AND IT SHOULD NOT MAKE SENSE TO ANYONE AFTER DOING SOME BASIC SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. IT IS NOT ENOUGH FOR ME TO BELIVE ANYTHING ON THE BASIS OF BELIEF, IF THAT IS THE CASE ANYTHING IS FAIR GAME SUCH AS TOOTHFAIRIES OR PINK ELEPHANTS. I HAVE A HARD TIME RESPECTING ANYONE WHO DOES NOT CARE ENOUGH TO QUESTION MORALITY AND THE IDEA OF GOD SINCE THIS SHAPES THE WAY WE INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER AND HOW WE ACT. DISLIKE PEOPLE WHO DO ANYTHING FOR ATTENTION, LIKE PORN THINGS, GET OVER IT!!!------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------- REMEMBER: "You are not your job!... You are not how much money you have in the bank!... You are not the car you drive!... You are not the contents of your wallet!... You are not your grande latte or your FUCKING khakis! You are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world."---Tyler Durden ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------- "We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here." -- Richard Dawkins ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------"The Bible was written by the same people who said the Earth was flat." -anonymousMichael Shermer "Why People Believe Strange Things" Part I and II...a must see.

Think he's virtuous?

"Jesus sacrified his death for us"...Jesus was "immortal". He knew he was going to "come back from the dead" (in forty days). How can his death mean much? He knew he was going to be "ressurected"...
