Day 122

Day 122;

Well if it isn’t day 122 already, and what did I state yesterday about my mending of my ways from doing a bit on Sikhs yesterday?

Oh that was it “I must rectify that for the future” which means that I could complete it on a future day which means what I said. First I decided to do something which could be classed as slightly offensive to Muslims, as I decided to read up on the supposed contradictions which were in the video that I showed, potentially, you people yesterday within my post thank you again Asea/Moses adopted mother according to the Qur’an.

Why may it be offensive to Muslim readers of this blog?

It isn’t intended to be but it includes me checking some of the passages of the Islamic holly book which I know could be offensive to some.

Why do you always include the two words ‘Thank you’ within your responses to the religious that have posted on your blog?

Well for 2 reasons one of my first is that in my first responses to an Islamic webpage I think the first comment that I revived from anyone on it read “Thank you” before they proceeded in the unenviable task of defending their, belief held without any evidence to back it up/faith  as only the followers of Islam have actually been willing to enter into a polite or otherwise exchange of ideas with me, at least since I can remember, the second is that I may as well be polite to them before I tear apart their religion, metaphorically of course, if you’re wanting to say that I do that of which I do not believe that I do and finally it is as my way of negating the enmity that may arise from discussing these to some people big red button topics, by the big red button topics I mean topics that some of my friends, well one and a sister, have warned me to stay away from, as a lot of people have a kind of vested interest in the stuff that they believe in without any reliable evidence.

Now I should say that’s enough of your unsolicited religious shenanigan type.

Oh is it?

Yes.

Ok, I’m sorry for my uncalled for outburst into religious shenanigans,

But what else have I done today? Now I can’t actually remember but I think part of what happened to me today comes from the word boggled.

I know it came from today when Alice decided to get all “deep” and she started saying that names for colours were created by humans so a day in the future an alien from outer space could some day come to earth and say that we’ve gotten all of the names of the colours wrong and then I gave her an example of an “alien” to us anyway of saying the colour green = verde in Spanish. but it wouldn’t change a thing unless the alien race wanted all of us to conform to their new language. A bit similar to the Romans that wanted all of the provinces that it conquered to worship the same gods as them which is probably one of the reasons why they were a mighty military force but in the end they only managed to conquer a much smaller empire than the Mongols but the empire lasted much longer.

But because the Romans had concurred their empire and they had planted their polytheistic religion, while they had it/before Catholicism came along and spread like wild fire throughout the empire, which is most likely one of the reasons why Christianity has such a prominent foothold in Europe/where the Roman Empire was.

Religiousness!

Come on can't I get a pass on the last bit as it was one of the reasons why the Roman Empire didn't concur as much of the world as they would have done if they were more like the Mongol's. 

Day 121

Day 121;

On the radio today I heard something that at first I thought was preposterous.

It was on BBC radio 2 and on it there was two perfectly decent men talking to each other, then they stated that one of them was Muslim and the other one was a Sikh, but they were still decent men until the end of the interview but I’m unsure about what happened next (if anything).

Now that fact led me to a startling conclusion. One that the Sikh faith has hardly got a mention on this blog actually I believe that is the first mention I must rectify that for the future.

Anyway the preposterous statement that I at first thought I heard was a statement by the Muslim gentleman, who said “Britain is more Islamic than some places in the east” now I was startled by this as I thought that the government haven’t passed any laws to make the wearing of a head scarf in public a mandatory requirement, But then he stated that he meant the freedoms that we all have and he thought that some of the Islamic countries could learn from Britain, but then about I thought again about the statement what are all, modern day monotheistic religions at least, attempting to do? They are attempting to assimilate everyone into their narrow buckets.

By narrow buckets I mean their narrowly spaced lines, like grates, yes. They are attempting to fit everyone down them so as they say to make sure that every one goes to a happy place when they die, but you don’t believe them do you? No I don’t believe them not in the slightest. But it's the end of consciousness so what is the point of this journey we call life what is it's purpose? Does there have to be a purpose? Well I'll tell you my personal purpose for existing it is to experience as much as I can before I turn off like a light-bulb that is switched on for s limited period of time and then they burst.

Thank you again Asea

Firstly, Prophet Mohammad was not educated, he could not write. So, therefore he never wrote the Quran. A distinguished and knowledgeable person such as yourself should at least have this knowledge. 

A distinguished and knowledgeable person wow now those three things that I have never been called nor do I claim to be; am I a person or knowledgeable or even distinguished for that matter? But why was he given the time of day to spout out his ideas/concepts of the origins of the earth and all things let alone have a whole religion devoted to him, which Islam basically is, just wait a couple of seconds the next time you hear someone say “Prophet Muhammad’ Peace be upon him” or something similar as almost every time that one of my friends that are Muslim ever said prophet Mohammad they’d say something similar to what I have stated. But just for your knowledge, and in actual fact everyone’s knowledge that decides to read this blogpost, I didn't know that Muhammad didn't write his teaching down himself, now there was I thinking as it was claimed to me that one of the Qur'ans strength as opposed to the many books off the bible, that was written by different authors many years after the facts supposedly happened. Now what you’re stating is actually weakening the claim of its authenticity and in fact Mohammad’s.

Let me rephrase what you have been stating to turn it into how it seems to me:

A mad man stands on a box and says that the sky’s falling down and then he starts claiming stuff from previous mythology (in your case, Asea, the Jewish and Christian myths, as he heard them from another person some other time) and just because some people think that he’s on to something they start writing it down, and then they have got a religion.

Lady Asea, my namesake, was queen who picked Moses out of the river and named him Moses, which is termed Moosa in Arabic. It means "the one found in water".

Lady Asea’s your namesake so you are a female? Well I have learnt something new today if that is the case, but if not I have still learnt something new, that in Arabic Moosa means "the one found in water" but for my education for today I thank you, as I’m still wondering what authority the sayings of a “mad” and “uneducated” man the very type of man that no one in the western civilised world would take very seriously let alone dedicate a whole religion to him, at least not in a court of law.

Now, since Prophet Mohammad did not write the Quran, we aren't worshipping him

But you are worshiping what he apparently said, and it’s exactly like the Christian mythology in that sense as the Jesus character never wrote a single word at least not in the bible, it is as if he never existed which I do not think he ever did the same goes for your Mohammad character. As in how do you know it was he that told the lies that are within your Qur’an?

The "mad man" as you term him, spoke a language called Arabic and transcribed it to the tribe he was in. The educated people there wrote it down and it was later, after the Prophet's death, bound in the book you see today.

The “mad man” as I also recall stating as well as the following; that I don’t believe existed. But why did the educated people of his tribe bother writing it down if they did in fact ever exist?

Til now, none of the logics presented in this world has proven it wrong or has changed it.

Now I didn't actually properly understand this did you mean “until now nothing, within this world at least, has proven it to be fiction, and nothing has changed it”, but what about now? The moment isn't that what’s worth living for? But beneath this there is a you tube video that demonstrates some of the falsehoods that are within the Qur’an now I feel like I am cheating you because I didn't share any part within the following YouTube video’s production, as I haven’t even checked it for mistakes as of yet, but I will in the future but in the mean time could you please check it for mistakes and post them below, please, only if you wanted to, because I will when I get around to checking up on it.

The mention of Jesus, or Isa as we call him, and Mary (Mariam) is obviously present in the Quran. Why? Well, I did say we accept him as our Prophet. Therefore, the Quran is the amalgamation of all the "mad men" book into one book intended for the entire world.

I know as I stated tithing that text that I did for your last text I don’t in actual fact believe in anyone called Jesus or Isa, but an ISA is an Individual Savings Account where I am from. But then if it was for the whole world to read and to understand, why did it get a started by a man from the east that couldn't read or write/he was illiterate in a language that relative few can understand and even fewer still can read, if you were God/Allah within all powerfulness wouldn't you be able to think of a better way of spreading his message than an old and unreliable book.  

The Christians, and Jews are our book cousins since they are mentioned in Quran.

The Bible and the Torah are mentioned in the Qur’an, yes I know but why isn't the Qur’an mentioned in the other two? I have two cousins and they are each younger than I, their names are Christopher and Maria, now if you look there I have just named to two of them, why didn't the God in the Torah state the two names of the books that would come after it? Then there would be no more fighting between yourselves as to who got the correct prophet, and you may state that the books weren't yet written; but what about your Gods capacity an all knowing entity?

Please note another information. The Bible mentioned that Prophet Mohammad would come. Also, the Hindu scripture Vedh, mentioned the similar thing. Now, if a book of a Hindu religion mentioned this, then were there so many mad men? Or is there indeed Allah?

No the bible didn't mention anything about the prophet Mohammad I searched Google for the bible verses that you have above inferred and the top two results as voted for by others, are as follow, you can read the full list by clicking here.

Deuteronomy 18:15 ESV

“The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen

But I am struggling to find any part that mentions Muhammad, but there was a mention of a prophet.

Isaiah 29:12 ESV

And when they give the book to one who cannot read, saying, “Read this,” he says, “I cannot read.”

Even this doesn't single out Mohamed as at the time that the book was written illiteracy levels were very high and only very few of the poor would have been able to read. Plus the Hindu book couldn't in a million years realistically be attributed to any Monotheistic religion (a religion with one god e.g. Islam, Christianity, Judaism) as Hinduism is a polytheistic religion (a religion with multiple gods e.g. Hinduism, Ancient Greek, Ancient Egyptian).

I, of course, will support Allah. My faith lies with my religion

Why, when it is demonstrably incorrect and inconsistent even within itself/the contradictions within the text, as that is all there is to do with your faith, in fact any faith it all comes down to a book that was written so long ago, too long ago to do any fact checking on it? I don’t know why you people have to have some old book that probably tells you nothing more about how to run a successful society than I.

Day 120

Day 120;

Welcome back if you have been onto this blog if you have already been on this, and why would you willingly subject yourselves to this kind of madness? But if this is your first time here I think you’ll regret it but welcome anyway.

Today I have been outside in the rain walking Mike to a model train exhibition, of which I was only going to as before that incident Mike said to me “are you going to accompany me to my model train exhibition after lunch?” to which I shrugged as I didn't know if I would or wouldn't go, if he’d have asked me if I had wanted to go with him that may and probably would have been a different answer entirely.

Actually on the way to the exhibition I only got slightly wet as it was only just starting to rain it was the walk afterwards that got me slightly wetter as afterwards we had to visit my gm, grandma not Game Maker, and whist we were there the football team that I support went from being 1-0 in front of their opposition to being 2-1 behind and they only managed to get an equaliser in the 92^nd minute of the game plus the first half’s stoppage time as there was at least 3 minutes stoppage time added on at the end of the second half otherwise the opposition team would have won as the score was 2-1 to the opposition team by the end of 90 minutes.

Quick update on the status of my YouTube project, I have been attempting modifications upon the project that my friends suggested.But I ha a crazier idea today of which was if I could get my hands on the CD's that my younger sister and I created so many years ago then I might just be able to put that on-line for anyone to listen to. It has got me on it attempting to lie/being sarcastic about my younger sisters very limited and very bad singing abilities in my personal opinion. and that's not to mention my talents that are also very lacking and back then in the old days I sounded like a girl, as my voice hadn't yet broken. 

Day 119

Day 119;

Today I have completed an easy Sudoku in 35 minutes and 11 seconds.

I knew that my time was hyper slow and as proof to that fact, as if I needed it, the website stated that 100% of people had done it quicker than me.  So I believe that all of you people out side of my head should probably, no defiantly, be able to complete one of these Sudoku quicker than I.

So what else other than attempt to beat your Sudoku time have you done today?

I can’t actually remember other than eat 3 delicious meals today, by 3 meal I mean breakfast which was cereal, Weetabix If my memory serves me well, for lunch I had a boal of spaghetti hoops and toast, then for dinner I had something but I cannot remember what is was, I think.

But if you can’t remember what it was how do you know that it tasted delicious?

The same way that you could have forgotten to do something but you know that you have forgotten to do something but you just can’t think of what it was that you forgot to do.

Oh you mean like the way that you’d forgot to put your dirty clothes in Tina’s basket for the dirty clothes before lunch, then before lunch you remembered that you had something to do but you just couldn’t remember what it was, as you were eating your lunch Tina walks across to you and says “did you put your clothes in the basket?” and then in your mind or reality you see yourself doing the bellow images

or even

Thank you Asea Siddiqui (a bit more of religious shenanigans)

However, please note that Muslims do not worship Prophet Mohammad, we worship Allah. Prophet Mohammad, along with Jesus Christ are merely messengers of Allah sent for the purpose of giving messages about Allah's commands.

For your information I know that you all say that you don’t worship your Muhammad dude/man/fallible human person that heard a whispering in his ear one day and started writing it down and just because he lived at a time when new myths were being propagated as fact like the some of the Christian ones, and some of your ones had Jesus in also but only as a messenger of God/Allah not as the son of God, so therefore you’re thinking that you can get off worshipping the way that your “Prophet Muhammad” told to just because he claimed to hear voices like a mad man, or he was contacted by some other means which you probably could come up with using your own common sense if you had the same motivation, the motivation that I am on about here doesn't have anything to do with any kind of super natural force/divine components. And by the way what’s the difference between worshipping the mad man or the book that he wrote? But then you’ll probably be saying that it’s not the book that your worshipping but the god that the book describes, all I am going to state is if a mad man wrote a book, 1 would you get it, 2 would you subscribe to the philosophy of the author. Probably not so why do you take a book by an author from so long ago it may have well been written by the Romans to hopefully one day co-opt everyone on the eastern fringes of the world into they’re Christianity which could be why your Qur’an has got some explicit mentions of Jesus Christ.

We respect every Prophet who has come into this world including Moses, Noah, Adam, abd etc. But that is about it. Worshipping a human being is out of the question.

But how do you know that all of these people are 1 real and 2 worthy of your respect? As I am unsure of the people that you called Abd but I’m guessing that you mean the Moses that was sent down the river in a box to the pharaoh’s wife that choose to save the child like it says here on the BBC. But I would like to state that no queen of Ancient Egypt would say thank god (singular) they would either say thank the Gods or thank Isis (the god of motherhood) she was also the sister and wife to the god Osiris/the god of the dead. Noah from the ark I used to enjoy listening to have it read to me at school just thing about it some primitive men building a boat that’s smaller than the titanic, but it was supposed  to fit all of those animals inside of it; or have I got the wrong Noah. Adam wasn't he one of the two people the perpetrated the original sin concept according to bible anyway, anyway what about Eve doesn't she deserve a special mention.

Day 118

Day 118;

I'm sorry about the mix up of data on my previous days post/day 117.

I had written the article but it wasn't uploaded onto this website, yet, so I corrected my incorrect ways.

Halloween today for me/yesterday for the readers on the day that this goes live (the first of November) 

But like i said on days previous that Halloween isn't very popular around where I  live this year we only had one family knocking on our homes front door saying "trick or treat", and it was one very young family and a parent.

So this is Halloween

And who have you scared

Another day’s over

And the nightmare’s just begun

And so this is Halloween

I hope you got scared

The newly deceased one

The ghouls and the ghosts

A very happy Halloween
And a haunted home life
Let’s hope it’s terrifying one

With plenty of fear

And so this is Halloween

For witch and for spook

For living and the dead ones
The road is so long. 

And so happy Halloween
For red and for green

For black hearted ones

Let’s start all the fight

A very happy Halloween

And a haunted home life
Let’s hope it’s terrifying one

With plenty of fear

And so this is Halloween

And who have we scared

Another day’s over
And the nightmare’s just begun

And so this is Halloween

I hope you got scared

The newly deceased one

The ghouls and the ghosts

A very happy Halloween
And a haunted home life
Let’s hope it’s terrifying one

With plenty of fear

War isn’t over over
Who wanted it? 

War isn’t over

Now

The real part which went instead of the last bit text “War is over” and the subsequent lines, I have been honesty stating the fact that war isn’t over but you could say that when it was released war was over as this song was released a long time ago, so the current war hadn’t even been envisioned yet, but by saying that you would be called a liar as If you take a quick glance at the below list you can see  a list of all of the wars that spanned over the year 1971 or at least the ones that are on this here website

Philippine Government vs CPP Guerrilla	1969 - 2008
Northern Ireland, The Troubles	1969 - 1994
Rhodesian Government vs ZANU,ZAPU,PF	1967 - 1979
Chinese Cultural Revolution	1967 - 1976
Cambodian Civil War	1967 - 1975
Chad Civil War	1966 - 2010
Namibia vs South Africa	1966 - 1988
Guatemalan Civil War	1965 - 1995
Indonesian annexation of West Papua	1965 - 1978
Vietnam War	1965 - 1975
Colombia Govt vs Guerillas Farc and ELN	1964 – Present
Mozambique War of Independence	1964 - 1975
Sudan Government vs Insurgents	1963 - 1972
Guinea Bissau War of Independence	1962 - 1974
Angolan War of Independence	1961 - 1975
Laos Civil War	1960 - 1973

This makes me feel so much pity for this tiny species of vertebrates that dominate the smallest fraction of a universe that is much bigger than any of the humans imaginations could ever imagine especially not with these illusions of creator/intelligence behind this madness that we call life.

We are just some partially evolved chimps that are howling at the moon because it is better than silence nothing more nothing less so what some human hands and feet have touched the moon, and your species has sent probes out there into space just to see what’s out there.

Day 117

Day 117;

So today was the evening before Old Hallows Evening/it is Halloween for all of you people that are reading this on the day that I have set this to post.

This is my Christmas song lyrics that I converted into a Halloween song it was a cover of the song I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday by Wizard, I have been thinking, I thought you already understood that that’s a bad idea, I know that it’s a terrible idea but it’s the only thing that I’m any goods at. How delusional are you, aren’t even good at that.

I know that you may that you may have low expectations of my ideas, for good reason also most livelily and if my last years attempt at creating a Halloween song out of a Christmas song wasn’t very good but this year it shall be on a John Lennon song (see below),

This is the new lyrics that go with the first part to the song

So this is Halloween

And who have you scared

Another day’s over

And the nightmare’s just begun

And so this is Halloween

I hope you got scared

The newly deceased one

The ghouls and the ghosts

For next years Halloween I’m going to attempt to get some of my friends to sing one of my renditions on skype and then if I can work out how to record from skype either just the audio or the video also I could use the rest of the year to make my friends into characters.

Day 116

Day 116;

Well it’s the eve of old hallows eve well it should be by the time that this goes live, the 30^th of October.

So are there any of my readers that are going to dress up?

I realise that the majority of you probably don’t even celebrate Halloween or if you do it’s just by watching a “scary” film either on your own or with friends and the majority of the fun that you have is internal, within your brain. Anyway that’s what I usually do. But I can remember when I was small, much smaller than I am now.

What do you mean when you were afraid of everything?

No, slightly later than that I’m guessing as I can’t remember that time at all of it did actually happen, unlike pretty much the majority of my short term memory, which is almost nonexistent by the time that I go to bed on the night. But the long term memory in between the moment of my earliest memory up to the week before the crash/my first week of work experience. My memory is in a state of flux, by that I mean that memories will resurface from time to time but they aren’t in any particular order, so one minute I’m in a crowd of children in the play ground of the first school that I know that I went to with both of the portable cabins that were for the youngest children they had they’re own play grounds behind each of them and the field was immense in scale for the time that I was there the next minute I’m skating away from a member of Basildon titans that I had just checked, in roller (inline-skater) hockey but to what I can remember that the man that I checked didn’t like being checked too much as he apparently attempted to smack my head with a fist, apparently. But I never saw it myself as I was too busy dawdling my way back to my position in defence of my teams goal.

But if you wanted to find out about Halloween you can by looking at the below is a YouTube video on the origins of the Halloween that we all know, or just should know. From it’s Celtic origins to modern times within America at least. As I am sure that I have stated earlier if not today then another previous day that Halloween isn’t really made a big deal of not to me. But I prefer Halloween to Christmas. If for no other reason than its forgotten holiday as there’s all of those Christmas adverts. the music and all of the lies that are to do with Christmas even the name is a lie.
