i know lol. doesn't make it any less stupid. the quote's logic basically says you're not allowed to eat at a restaurant, eat chocolate or eat more than you need because it's showing 'contempt' of the true reason for eating, nutrition. eating to enjoy flavour would be 'unsound' by that ridiculous logic. showing contempt of this supposed primary reason does not harm anyone and isn't wrong. when you go around telling people how to live their lives, it would be nice if you made sure you had a good reason for it. but of course despite everything, you haven't the slightest bit of responsibility and will gladly go along with the manipulation of people that religion exercises. if you thought twice about spreading shit to others and telling them what they should and shouldn't do, and looked honestly at the silliness of christianity you would inevitably abandon it, but you don't feel any need to do others that decency, so you carry on propagating its destructive lies. of course you will say you have faith in your religion because you 'feel' god in some way or another, ignoring that this is somehow conveniently the only time he demonstrably makes himself known, and that the conclusion has already been made for you that god exists, and so you will inevitably consider everything and anything that happens in your life as evidence of his existence. < typed not out of anger but for you and your followers benefit, if you listen.
"So if you waste your life now on endless minor tasks, you can be sure that at the time of death you will weep with regret and be stricken with intense anxiety, like a thief who has just been thrown into jail and anxiously anticipates his punishment. A person might find himself with nothing to eat, no clothes to wear, and no house to live in; but if his mind is filled with faith in his teacher and the Three Jewels, that person will both live and die with his heart always joyful and confident."

@harrysmaje @cubeeyy smidge's tweet that began with 'emphasis' wasn't arguing whether it was right or wrong to say therefore, it was demonstrating that you did indeed imply he was incorrect, which you did. If it's true you can use both then you were wrong to say "you don't use" jennings, because if it is a valid option then it's not wrong, and not something you don't do. Nothing wrong with smidge defending himself
@f4tcunt i'm afraid i'm still not satisfied seeing as it would be sensible to do things in order to increase one's own happiness. Decadence would be 'insensible' in that it would ultimately cause unhappiness, for example unprotected sex would only be insensible because it would have the potential to cause problems and eventually decrease happiness. Simply having fun is sensible, what you mean to say is you feel sorry for people who are over abstemious or unadventurous which would actually be insensibility as it avoids potential pleasure for no reason. Since I've done one of these I'd also like to correct your tweet where you implied wasps were parasitic to the ecosystem which is completely not true since they are one of the most important members of their food chain in regard to natural bio control. Don't worry thought mate because I will always be watching to make sure I correct you whenever you tweet anything insensible. I would like to thank my friends and family. Fin.
