Spirituality Versus Materialism

Some people will tell you that all that matters are matter and the purely physical laws that govern it. They say that if something can’t be understood by the rational mind—even though it may not yet be understood by any rational mind—then it isn’t existent and it is, therefore, irrelevant.

Other people will tell you that the core of human existence is spirituality. To them, what matters most is what goes on in the ethereal, indefinable, metaphysical human soul.

A third group of people say, “How the hell should I know about that shit? Fuck it! Let’s go to the pub.”

People of the latter mindset are the most fun, so I hang out with them and ignore the others.

    Off to the Pub I go.

    And it is almost Friday so I may just stay there through the weekend. All ya’ll people in Shalampax are lucky that you don’t have to be concerned with driving home drunk from the pub.

    @David: Yes, we are very strongly opposed to drinking and driving. So it’s fortunate that we don’t have any cars or roads here.

    Drink responsibly. Crawl home from the pub.

    So that’s what a pub crawl is.

    I’ve got a button here somewhere that says: Fuck Art. Let’s Dance!

    @Doctor Faustroll: Well, that’s what pub crawl means here. I can’t speak for wherever you are.

    I’d definitely push that button if I were you. … But … I won’t dance. Don’t ask me.

    I’ll go along with the drunks myself…Even if the other two are dead on right it’s still a lot more fun to do some partying..

    @megamanthemadman: Yeah, that’s my thinking … when I’m sober enough to think.

    I could use a beer.

    @A Valdese Blogger: I hope that when you say, “I could use a beer,” you mean you want to drink it. If not, I’m not sure I want to know what you plan to use it for.

    @Gravyonshirtfront

    I pushed the button and a bird dropped from the ceiling with a sign that said: No kidding.

    @Doctor Faustroll: Yeah, that’s exactly how it’s supposed to work. You bet your life it is.
