Semester 1 is over.....

So I know I haven't been blogging for a really long time and I really can't be bothered to find an excuse if you ask why other than: Because I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT.

Anyway, some pictures to complete the tour of my university.

The indoor bar. Fish & Chips for 6 $ ^_^

Student Lounge. Don't really hang here that often though.

Comfy sofa's that get destroyed and mistreated my the students.

Inner Courtyard of the campus.

Pathway of DOOM ~ The walkway to my lecturers offices.

I suppose you can consider this as Cerberus's kennel.

MAC Lab.

Tutorial Room that I use.

Windows Lab.

Other than that, there really isn't much else of interest.

Semester 1 was fun. A bit hectic with some assignments, but nothing I couldn't handle. Exams were; in the first time in my life, an ABSOLUTE cinch. Just goes to show how pointless it was to study so hard and stupidly in a Malaysian high school and get retarded amounts of A's for your Sijil Pasar Malam which is worth next to nothing.

Unless of course, you want to stay on the sinking ship that is the Malaysian Economy.

So I've been doing some reading recently. Namely reading Richard Dawkins's book: "The God Delusion". Makes you realize how dumb you were when you used to (or still do) believe in religion.

Now, I'm not a religious person at all thankfully. But I do want to highlight the few major points of his book. Namely:

1) RELIGION IS SPREAD BY HEARSAY.

What made you believe in Religion? Your parents probably. Or maybe your friends whom you wanted to fit in to. What made your parents believe in Religion? Your grandparents probably or some variation thereof.

All it proves is that your parents brain-washed you into believing a grand delusion that a higher, more powerful being exist; passed down from generation to generation. Its just like how last time, everyone believed the world was flat or how the sun was thought to rotate around the earth.

Its like repeatedly telling an impressionable child: "I am God.". Sooner or later, he/she will really believe it so.

2) EVERY PERSON SHOULD BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO CHOOSE

Mainly directing this point at Muslims.

You guys indoctrinate your children to believe in a "god" that requires you to pray 7X daily. When the child finally has the brains to realize what a grand farce this is, you silence them with violence.

You do not even give a chance for the child to speak. For you are such a zealot in your "rightful cause" that you are intolerant of anything that does not agree with you.

There are other religions as well, but Islam is the worst of them.

3) RELIGION ENCOURAGES THE WORSHIP OF GAPS

Let me first define what is the worship of gaps.

The worship of gaps is basically the worship of a deity due to the occurrence of a supernatural phenomenon that currently cannot be explained by scientific means.

Most obvious example would be the origin of life.

Because scientists cannot currently confirm the origin of life, religious zealots have the gall to take advantage of this to say that: "God DID IT!!" without a second thought. It extinguishes ideas because religion basically just tells you to STOP THINKING at once and just accept it.

Religion does nothing else really.

Now, here are some brain-less arguments that some religious people I know have come up with to justify why people should believe in God.

1) "Why not believe in God? If you don't, you'll wind up in hell. However, if you do, you'll get into heaven. If god doesn't exist, then no harm is done no?"

Well, firstly, this argument does nothing but THREATENS you to believe in god on pain of eternal damnation. It provides no evidence into the existence of God.

Secondly, it sounds as though you yourself aren't that into "GOD" itself and have some ulterior motive.

2) "BUT JESUS CHRIST WAS RESURRECTED!!!" or "THE QURAN IS THE WORD OF ALLAH!!:

If you're going to believe in some millennium old texts which were probably written by some douche, well you're pretty gullible aren't you?

Oh, BTW, you also owe me 3000AUD.

Anyway, this point links back to my previous statement about the worship of gaps. Just because some unexplained phenomenon happened, you instantly fill it with the simplest answer: "GOD DID IT!!".

I could go on and on, but you'd never hear the end of it. Maybe next time when the mood strikes me again.

To all religious people. Just know this. The next time you wish to try and ruin someone's life by asking them to believe in religion, please be a little more considerate that not everyone wants to believe in the grand hoax that you are subscribing to. If you wish to not use your brain then please keep that decision to yourself so as to not influence other people from becoming a brain-dead drone like you. Honestly, the world would be a better place without you as people's ideas would actually get a chance to grow unlike how you mindlessly stamp out your own.

Oh, do also note that I will be laughing silently at how stupid you are when you mention that you believe in god or some variation that leads to you worshiping "God". Blood relative or not. Just like how you choose to not listen to scientific and logical fact, I choose to be prejudiced against the likes of you people.

We can still be friends, but I will never really consider you as intellectually sound should you ever mention that you believe in god.
