Fear & Loathing in a World Without God

Welcome to my world. My name is PJ and I'm a writer, a poet, an occasional actor and very outspoken Atheist. I have a lot on my mind and I long for as many forum to express it. Comments are welcome, but be constructive and clean about it.

Last year I released this book of poetry that took almost a decade to put together. 500 Sonnets is a massive collection of original poetry that I am quite proud of... which is actually my 9th poetry book.

500 Sonnets is currently for sale on by Smashwords and Amazon at the following links:

Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1466864

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CL7H9B3S

While I took a break from poetry after finishing this massive book, I am happy to say I have been writing poems over the last few months. Because of that progress, a new book of poetry is in the process of being written.

Thanks for your support, PJ

I know, I know... it's been a minute since I've posted here. I do however have a few good excuses. Since my last post I've had a stroke, my father passed away, and I have a new child... my first daughter.

Toss in all the novels I've been writing and I've been a very buy boy. I'm up to twelve novels and counting... with many more planned in the coming years.

I'll also do my best not to be a stranger here on Tumblr. Apologies for the long absence, but it's nice to see the account is still here and has notes trickling in.

Catch you guys and gals around...

My Best, PJ

Everyday I listen to the champions of the clot shot talking about consensus.

First of all, no real consensus exists except among government officials, and we all know how fucking shady they are.

Second, many times in history the consensus was flat wrong. PJ

Covid-mania does has many markers of religious hysteria; from the blind devotion to not questioning authority.

Many people might be in for a shock when we eventually found out what the long term effects are. I personally hope there are none, but I have a bad feeling about it...

If you can't question or challenge something, then you can no longer call it science. Real science can stand up to scrutiny, debate, and anything else that is tossed at it.

Furthermore, questioning the status quo is how new scientific discoveries are made... so all this banning of debate is standing in the way of progress and will hurt future research.

Nothing is ever settled, that is not how science works.

The Loki series is filled with so much complexity-- it examines the dynamics in relationships, self-worth, power, and life itself. I think a lot of it is truly brilliant! (especially the dialogue)

So why is it that the one thing I can't stop thinking about is the alligator?????

[ID: A digital comic of Loki, Sylvie, and Alligator Loki standing in the wasteland at the end of time. Loki holds Alligator Loki and says, “In all my years of pursuing my GLORIOUS PURPOSE, I never thought it would lead to this moment: holding an alligator version of myself at the end of time.” Sylvie raises a brow and looks at him. Loki begins to scratch Croki’s head, and Croki smiles and hisses softly. Then, Sylvie reaches out and says, “I WANT TO HOLD HIM NOW.” Loki holds Croki away from her and says, “I’m not DONE yet.” Croki opens his mouth and makes ‘disgruntled alligator noises.’ End ID.]

“Intelligent design” isn’t, and your god is vestigial.

Does that make sense to anyone, or does it sound as retarded as I think it does? Why are people getting sick or even dying to protect themselves from a pandemic that has a 99% survival rate? That is just insanity!

I’m choosing to continue staying indoors. I’m not going to movie theatres, or malls, or anywhere with crowds rather than put that untested, corner cut, experimental shit in my body. I’m not getting any of the vaccines. None. That “My body, my choice” saying counts for more than just abortions.

I’m treating these vaccines like I would a new version of windows. I’d rather let the lemmings go first, and wait for the bugs/errors to be worked out before even considering getting it. How is everyone going to feel when one of those companies says “sorry for the cancer” before hiding behind their liability shield and count their profits while people die from the side effects they never properly tested for?

Not me. I’d rather stay in isolation and keep to myself. Since I work from home, I can get away with keeping a tight circle. It’s worked for me so far, and I’ll keep doing this since I have no choice. If you want to get the vaccine, knock yourself out, but i would inform yourself about it before doing it.

That is exactly how I respond to people being offended. I post more of it rather than less. The more someone is offended, the more I want to post again.

I’m not sure if this is an actual Bruce Lee quote, but it sounds like one. This world would be a different place if he was still around, sharing things like this with the people as he grew older. Regardless of who said it, that is still a kickass quote that is spot on. Nothing lasts forever, so enjoy the good and endure the bad because it always changes like the weather.

The more I read and learn about this man, the more impressed I am. I don’t agree with Jordan Peterson about everything, but I respect the man for standing up for his own, and ours for that matter, basic rights such as freedom of expression. Mandated speech is censorship, period. We need to have the right to offend if we want to search for truth, and to take away the right to offend limits our ability to seek and find our own truths. That is censorship, and why I agree with the stand Dr. Peterson is taking.

I’m no more afraid of going to hell than I am of being on Santa’s naughty list. Just like dragons, your gods do not exist. Deal with the here and now, and with reality while you still can. Stop wasting your Sundays, and your money on myths that have zero impact on your life.

There are better things to do like spend quality time with the kids, do a little cleaning, watch football with friends and just enjoy life.

So I just found the most useful photo album in existence for tumblr arguments

I HAVE FOUND MY FAVOURITE POST ON THE INTERNET

@georgeorwell @lordhellebore @francisperfectionbonnefoy @janiedean and everyone else have you guys seen this gem

OH MY GOD I’M SAVING ALL  OF THESE RN

[nephilimeq]

This is awesome

[call-me-cee]

@aces-to-apples @elouanwrites thought y’all might like to save these for future use 😘

[queer-cosette]

@ayeforscotland dunno if you’ve seen this but I feel you could use it when the aresholes get a bit too cocky in the reblogs

[ayeforscotland]

Just need one with ‘Foul: Wee fud talking shite’ on it.

[savedfromsalvation]

All of these fallacies apply directly to the Repug  and Fux News political arguments! Also, don’t forget “what-about-ism”

No country is perfect, and all of them have dark chapters they'd rather forget. Everyone is allowed to do whatever they want on Canada Day, and that freedom to express ourselves any way we wish is exactly what makes this country one of the best.

We are free to celebrate or mourn on Canada Day if we want to, because people made the highest sacrifice so that we could have that choice. Rather than point fingers, spread hate, and encourage division... we should instead come together and try to build a brighter future for all Canadians.

That's what I believe July 1st is supposed to be about; a celebration of not just Canada's accomplishments but the greatness that is yet to come. That is what I will choose to do on Thursday as I look forward to better days and years to come on Canada Day.

I will never apologize for being an outspoken atheist.

I will never apologize for criticizing religion all the time on twitter, facebook, tumblr, open diary, and in all the nonfiction books that I write. 

If you want to argue with me, be prepared to receive an epic smackdown. I do not suffer fools gladly. 

[pjlowry]

Was working on some new poetry, and kinda came up with this interesting little thing. I was inspired by something unexpected and went with it.

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday morning!
