Welcome to my ramblings on what I think and why I think that way.

Remember this is my web page and I am going to be blunt, if you are offended that is just bad luck, you have been warned.

Recently I've been getting into watching DVDs a lot, here is a list of what I have.

Over the years I have read many books that have helped shape some of my ideas, here is a short list of some very interesting reading.

So what do I think ?

Politics

I have over the years gone from being a firm believer in socialism to what I would call a "free market capitalist" to someone who these days still sees a minimalist government as being desirable but in the real world it is not completely feasible.

I think personal freedoms are very important, if an act harms nobody except the person performing the act, then why should it be illegal ?

I also feel that those in positions of power need to be made more open and honest, the political leaders need to be made aware that they are there to serve the public not themselves.

Religion

Well I'm going to be blunt, there is no God, no Heaven, no Hell, get over it, then you can begin to function as a rational human being.

Religion has been used for centuries to control the poorly educated and the weak. The fear of death is a very powerfull weapon, used in the right hands it can control your every thought.

Man created God to help explain the world, observation & reason removed the need for God, so in the end Man will do away with God.

Once you get over the idea that there is no God and therefore no purpose to the universe and that all rules are arbitary you realise that the only things that matter are the consequences of your actions, both to yourself and others.

You have to deal with those consequences, there is nobody else to help you, you have to take responsibility for your own destiny.

More soon
