-less

Sleepless:
A weekend of little sleep, plus two nights of all-night thunderstorms means I am not a bright-eyed girl today. I don't think I'd pass a sobriety test at this point. Just. Beat. Last night, we were eating dinner and I had a moment of "my arms are too tired to raise this fork to my damn mouth." It was bad. And then, of course, the next wave of thunderstorms rolled in at 9:30, just as I hauled myself up the stairs to bed. Nice.

On the plus side, I am too tired to have mood swings. So. Yay?

Godless:
I found this yesterday. Love it.

I LOVE THIS!

Thanks! I think there's something in the air. I'm wiped out, too. Monday I finally slept, but I'm still wiped out. I think it's the new moon. Usually storms energize me but this one's drained me, too.

I was up at 4:44, got back to sleep but kept waking up. I know what you mean. Except the too tired to eat thing. I can eat in my sleep.

LOVE THE POSTER!

Caffeine is good (or god, depending upon your preferences...)

"I'd rather trust the dudes in labcoats who aren't demanding I get up early every Sunday to overdress and apologize for being human."

Especially the last phrase...

What she said!

and this.. why Beer is better than religion

10. No one will kill you for not drinking beer.
9. Beer doesn't tell you how to have sex.
8. Beer has never caused a major war.
7. They don't force beer on minors who can't think for themselves.
6. When you have beer, you don't knock on people's doors trying to give it away.
5. Nobody's ever been burned at the stake, hanged, or tortured to death over his brand of beer.
4. You don't have to wait 2,000+ years for a second beer.
3. There are laws saying that beer labels can't lie to you.
2. You can prove you have a beer.
1. If you have devoted your life to beer, there are groups to help you stop.

Right there with you on the fatigue...new kitty = cat walking on your head every hour or so the last couple of nights. Hope you can get some good sleep tonight.

Big thumbs up on the motivational poster!

Of course the new kitty would make it even worse!

Love the poster, CR.

The poster is excellent. I'm curious: do you have a standard explanation for why atheism instead of agnosticism?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

do you have a standard explanation for why atheism instead of agnosticism?

I do.

Here is a touchy-feely explanation (http://atheism.about.com/od/aboutagnosticism/a/atheism.htm) that addresses the subjective issues of why I consider myself an atheist rather than agnostic.

But what it really comes down to for me is the meaning of the words. Atheism is the disavowal of belief in a god or gods. Agnosticism, with its etymological roots coming from gnosis, is the disavowal of knowledge of a god or gods.

Now, I bet you that there are a few (honest) believers in any religion who would, given this definition, consider themselves agnostic. Because they don't know. They believe. Similarly, many atheists are agnostic, too. They disbelieve, but they don't know.

Myself, I consider myself an atheist, first and foremost. I waffle on the agnosticism. Sometimes I'm inclined to shrug and say "Well, ok, maybe yeah. We just can't know!" and then other times I think "What the? Of course there isn't. Come on!"

The latter option is usually influenced by my thinking romantically wistful thoughts about Carl Sagan.
