The Christian view of life

Where else could it have come from?

I'm thinking about putting together a Nihilist's Ten Commandments.I. Thou shalt not use euphemisms.

II Thou shalt acknowledge daily that life is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness (the second of which we are heading for at some 4500 heartbeats per hour).**(borrowed from a writer I shall not name.)Edited by robinrohan, : No reason given.

III. Thou shalt read many books, and boast of it, and then thou shalt acknowledge that books are tiresome things, but one has to read a great many before one finds that out.*(*Borrowed--source withheld.)

I had no problem googling the source of your commandment #2 but #3 is eluding me. More hints?

Thats 3 billion beats in an average lifetime. Shouldn't you include something which includes a nod to the Great god of Random Mutation and Natural Selection. You know, it wot made Nihilism the one true Religion?

Kind of difficult to make remarks that someone will not know about and take personally when one is posting on a blog, no?

Really? Is that book online? Oh, probably, famous quotations or something from that author.

We are talking about someone whose name we do not even know. It's a generalized comment.

The direct quote is, "Morris Townsend agreed with her that books were tiresome things; only, as he said, you had to read a good many before you found it out."

IV. Thou shalt never vote or involve oneself in hot political disputes. It is a vexation of the spirit.

Yes, famous quotations.

Right, got it.
