Hierophant, I respect what you are asking me since it is making me think. You asked me why I don’t like humankind that much…well maybe it’s not all about humans, but life. Life is quite boring, I don’t mean boring as there is nothing to do, but boring as it’s very simple. Everyone wears the same style of clothes in certain communities. They all have somewhat the same personality and they always follow what goes with the flow. Barely anyone in this public, in front of school or businesses acts like how they are in front of their parents. They all act differently so that they can be popular. People are quick to judge whether you are good/smart or bad/stupid just by looking at what you wear. My inspiration of my philosophy is not inspired only by the music I hear, but also what I learn at I grow older. Do you really think humans will reach Mars…the environment here is pretty bad. With all the pollution, global warming, idiotic politician like Bush. Maybe I’m just not as wise and smart yet due to the fact I’m only 16, maybe I’m still blinded by the truth and my stubborn opinion is just blocking it or am I just a problem teenager that’s going through this dumb phase in life.

It's all a matter of perspective, shadowspecter. If you choose to view the World as boring and generally a crappy place, then there's plenty of things around to support that view. The opposite is also true, if you choose a more positive perspective you'll see it's not all doom and gloom. Whatever your beliefs are, choosing to view the World as hell on Earth will do you no good at all.
Besides, why wouldn't we be able to reach Mars? Even the most pessimistic sceptics think we may be able to land there within the next few decades.

Let me ask everyone here…are you inspired by religion such as God created everything and set things in motion OR do you believe in science, that the universe was created by the Big Bang and that humans were once tiny organisms that morphed to adapt its surroundings? Look, I use to be a Christian, but a lot of questions formed in my mind if God truly exist or not. Was there any proof that God existed? Does anyone ever wonder how the Bible ever came to exist? Is there is even Heaven or Hell? If God still exist, why doesn’t he talk to his people. In the Bible it says He talked to his people and that during that time, it was a time of miracles. Like Jesus healing the blind, Moses staff turned into a snake, Goliath and David. I just find it hard to believe that those things ever existed.

Unfortunately there's a ban on any religious discussion, so I can't discuss these matters with you.
