Tim Minchin's brilliant & witty demolition of irrationality in all its many guises - with rolling text from me -all in the medium of a 9-minute beat poem. Audio from the QEH Dec 2008 show with kind permission from Tim Minchin.

Wait, your college doesn't permit the exhibiting of creative media that has (by some antiquated definitions) questionable content? Do they black out words in your literature class?

If that is what your college does, get the hell out of there. Colleges are supposed to be institutions of higher learning, which includes sharpening your critical thinking faculties. A college that does this will do nothing but dull those faculties.

Wow, an unironic use of "sheeple". I never thought I'd see one of those in the wild. Shine on, you crazy diamond.

It took some time before I became comfortable with it, but now I just, can't picture any nonense anymore. If asked, while actually being serious, I'll say that I am happy being a nothing. I don't need no person to tell me our lives are worth anything. I need to be able to live, have a troubled life, and be rewarded somehow during it. Hopefully, when I die, I die content. If there IS more after it, well, they can tell me then,- I don't deny God if he himself says he exist.

I am Minchin-esque in my views (atheist, a-spiritual, studying environmental science) but my best friend might be described as a "Storm." It has forced us to respect one other while simultaneously deeply disagreeing with each other, and I see people as less static because of it. I'm not criticizing Minchin (this is an amazing poem), but I think there is a lot to be gained from taking a totally different approach.

Two times longer to love ones wife?

Why would I want that, if I can love 4 wives instead?

I mean 1*2 is not as good as 4*1 ... not even counting the 100 virgins I can have infinitely here
