Baptisms are getting really expensive

Let's discuss something uplifting today, like rebirth. Today I found out roughly how much it costs to live again. Something to the tune of $35,000. Give or take a couple grand, I wasn't really paying attention. To a person in my position, anything over $1,000 is all the same: unpayable. Oh well, I never was planning to own anything ever again anyway.

So because I actually drowned I think this must be the most expensive Baptism EVER. And it's even better because I'm not Christian so all my sins haven't even been warshed away. I think this is God's joke on me after I pulled a fast one on him. That guy's good, man.

Speaking of higher powers and beliefs and whatnot, I watched The Matrix again this morning. Now there's something I could believe in. I would more readily put my faith in all of us living programmed lives as prisoners in a computer than some magical force with super-human powers that's just... there. No explanation, he's just up there pulling strings. Always has been. Don't believe it? Ohhh well there's a special place for nonbelievers, so you best jump on the wagon.

Sigh. Life is nothing but wolves and sheep. Or leets and noobs as the dialect may be.

  1. Where is this baptism? There is no monitary cost in a baptism. Is this a joke? And how is it that you died and yet you are now blogging. Would love to hear more about that.

  2. Wikipedia on sarcasm: Hostile, critical comments may be expressed in an ironic way such as saying "don't work too hard" to a lazy worker. The use of irony introduces an element of humour which may make the criticism seem more polite and less aggressive, but understanding the subtlety of this usage requires second-order interpretation of the speaker's intentions. This sophisticated understanding is lacking in some people with brain damage, dementia and autism.

    Wikipedia on death: Signs of death, or strong indications that a person is no longer alive are:

    Ceasing respiration
    No pulse

    Wikipedia on CPR: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure for people in cardiac arrest or, in some circumstances, respiratory arrest.

    cont'd: CPR is generally continued... until the patient regains a heart beat... or is declared dead.

    I think that should clear up your concerns. If you have any more questions I'll be glad to address them.
