The first erotic story I ever wrote was hammered out on an electric typewriter back when I was in grade school. I remember it being about a boy who was on vacation with his family who encountered a girl late one night by the hotel swimming pool. I don't remember a lot of details, but I do recall jerking off a lot while I wrote... Read More
Gan pushed himself hard. His body, naked from the waist up, was sheathed in a layer of sweat. His lungs were aflame as were the muscles in his legs. Gan ignored the pain and pushed himself past the west entrance for the fifth time.
As he ran, his mind wandered back to... Read More
So I've been thinking about writing erotica set in a medieval fantasy setting for a while now. Here's the first part of a story that I hope to flesh out a bit as I go. Unfortunately, the formatting doesn't carry over from Word so it's pretty plain looking but the meat of the thing is there. Enjoy.
I watched "Donnie Darko" again on Saturday. I absolutely love that movie. It's a rare thing to find a piece of media that addresses such profound subject matter (death, afterlife, meaning, sacrifice, the soul) without focusing on God or religion.
A letter to my (newly elected) Member of Parliament :
Mr Woodworth,
As I'm sure you are aware, yesterday was Remembrance Day. At 11 am I took my time to remember the sacrifice of my grandfather's generation in World War 2 and those before him in World War 1.
When I got home from work and turned on the evening news, I was surprised at... Read More
Hear them rattle
These chains of living
Bound to every moment passed
Until the wreckage clamours
In deafening wake
And each stride trails
A dirge of the lost
I think the basis of my whole argument is that religious people see a human being as made up of three parts - Mental, Physical, and Spirital whereas I would suggest that our "three parts" are actually: Rationall, Physical, and Emotional. And I also suggest that religion came from an overlapping of Emotional and Rational, as do things like music and art in general.
The basis for a good debate are parameters. I was not attempting to "talk at you". Merely converse.
Nor was I assuming your tendencies were toward organized religion. Nowhere did I assume that you were worshipping the Christian God. My arguments are leveled against all supernatural belief. In fact, they are leveled against any irrationality, be they religious, superstitious, or otherwise.
I am not attempting to change your mind. I am attempting to clearly communicate mine. I would qualify my stance in this topic as somewhat complex and difficult to grasp. It can take a long time to get it all out.
To put matters to rest, here's things in as much of a nutshell as I can manage:
- The supernatural, including the concept of any non-physical entities be they souls, ghosts, angels, or whatever, are figments of human imagination. Belief in them is no different than belief in - say - Harry Potter.
- Even if there were some existential "greatness" in the universe, worshipping it is undoubtedly a waste of time as would be - without a doubt - far beyond our ability to conceptually know. It would be like an ant worshipping the Internet... only worse.
- There is no overt purpose in life. Life is about living. Death ends you. Memories of you linger for a time but soon are gone as well. Your physical remains will decompose or burn and the energy held within the matter that comprises your body will transmute and dilute until every atom that makes up you is scattered and lost. This does not diminish the value of life. It increases it. Every moment of every life, human or otherwise is utterly unique and fleeting.
- Although I respect people's choice to believe whatever crap they want, I don't really have any respect for their beliefs themselves. Organized religion, psychics, spirit mediums, big foot, alien visitors, and crystal worshippers are all in the same category in my mind: people who can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality.

I usually feel the same on issues that I am passionate about!
Two things which I find unwise to debate: Religion and Politics. Wars are started and many are harmed because of mans perception that their ideology on these topics is supperior in some way.
To not see any validity in anothers point of view or even better; in any view that challenges your own is not RESPECT my dear-and that(respect) is a topic worth debating!
I would imagine if we were face to face on this rather poignant discussion, this would be right about where I turned and walked away from you,without warning or regard to your delicate sensibilities-and where you grabbed me and shoved me against a wall.....
Which would be the only way you and I with our strong willls would be able to immediately occupy the same space peacefully!
I do thank you though, that was far more stimulating than this weekends PPV match
I did indeed enjoy that more I think then the previous....and the next installment?
