I’m too real. It gets me in trouble.

How do I become a phony?

The "light at the end of the tunnel," is not going to be an on-coming freight train, it will be the Lord...your God.

Oh, and for the atheist reading this, either get over it, or get Jesus. There are really no other choices.

And be careful in any replies to me, I'm not in the mood.

Has science shown that people are, in some sense, an illusion?

When I doubt my existence I gorge myself on Beans, Beef, Broccoli and Cabbage. I wash it down with cheap beer.

I stink therefore I am!

Philosopher’s Song

Immanuel Kant was a real piss-ant who was very rarely stable.

Heideggar, Heideggar was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table.

David Hume could out-consume Schoppenhauer and Hegel. And Whittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.

There’s nothing Nieizsche couldn’t teach ‘ya ‘bout the raising of the wrist. Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.

John Stewart Mill, of his own free will On half a pint of shanty was particularly ill.

Plato they say could stick it away, Half a crate of whiskey every day.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, And Hoppes was fond of his dram.

And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart. “I drink, therefore I am.”

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed; A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he’s pissed.

“One need not look far to find people with strange ideas. There is a poster right here on FR (an atheist-evolutionist) who happens to believe that we are all made of waves of nothing.”
He also says there is no difference between the Sun orbiting the Earth and the Earth rotating on its axis.

Of course he cannot back up that claim, but he still asserts that its true.

In all fairness, he tries to back up his claim, but he uses faulty logic, so it all falls flat.

Little do y’all suspect that I’m just a figment of your imaginations.
