❝ the lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, o lord, endures forever. do not forsake the work of your hands. ❞

psalms

do you actually believe that, though? do you believe in destiny or do you believe that it is our own? discuss.

also, since we're having a deep conversation. google would have made my life a whole lot easier if it had existed in the 1800s. then again there would not be young men saying that they love vintage victorian erotica more than the mainstream kind (here's a hint: it's still erotica).

if you're a really old guy wearing a hood over your head, you owe me a saturday night for the one you ruined. cash only.

that's something I've been trying to figure out. is destiny ours all along or do we create it with the choices we make? with the plans laid out for us by our parents?

I don't believe in god, but I do believe in justice. some things penetrate too deep [Dexter really, in a conversation about porn.] to ever truly escape from.

I like to believe I have a choice in what's next, at least. but who wouldn't?

dammit ca.

[ioudas]

maybe it has nothing to do with god but rather just a set of coincidences? parents are inconsequential, you were bound to come into this world one way or another; it's just whether or not you have help along the way.

justice? justice has nothing to do with it.

u luv it

[cryingontheinside]

justice has everything to do with it. that's just one man's opinion, however.

[ioudas]

Do you think we're due what we so deserve?

[cryingontheinside]

of course I do - don't you?

[ioudas]

I don't know, that's why I'm asking you lot.

[cryingontheinside]

I think justice misses some. that's why we're here:

to pick up the slack

[ioudas]

but do you think you were put on this earth to do that? that adam and eve partook of the forbidden fruit so that you may dispense the justice that god had not yet done so. or even, god has left for you to dispense.


just saying, if you think the latter, i'm going to call you a nutjob.

[cryingontheinside]

not god no.

but perhaps another untenable force

[ioudas]

yes that would make the bible a whole lot easier to quote.

[cryingontheinside]

I wouldn't know

[ioudas]

did you know they put the bible on the internet? it's fascinating.

[cryingontheinside]

I did actually

[ioudas]

it's the little things that astound you, i suppose.

did you know that you could order direct barrels of wine and hire escorts all from the convenience of your own home?

[cryingontheinside]

the internet is great isn't it?

[ioudas]

Don't you think you lose a lot of stuff along the way? With accessibility comes loss of intrigue.

[cryingontheinside]

I find the opposite to be true, personally

[ioudas]

Or you didn't really know it in the first place.

[cryingontheinside]

I was never really a bible guy. Sorry.

[ioudas]

I'm into the prostitutes and wine side of the bible, but other than that not really.

[cryingontheinside]

the fire & brimstone parts are probably more my speed. even those parts I've only skimmed though

[ioudas]

I'm going to do you a favor and not mention that to anyone else.
