Is it better to believe blindly or live cynically?

Woe be the man who chooses belief over life.

What are you living for, and what are you living under? What guides you, motivates you and drives you? Where is your moral compass derived from? If you're like me, the purpose of your life is to experience life. That's it.

Here's a depressing thought: When you die, there won't be anything after that. The human body is just a big machine, and when it shuts down that's the end of the story. Maybe you believe in reincarnation, and maybe it's true, but you won't remember your past life, that's for damn sure. So who gives a fuck?

Now, most of you reading this right now probably think I'm one bitter son of a bitch. And in part that's true. But you're looking at this all wrong. I'm not putting any stock in the existence of an afterlife, and that motivates me to live the best god damned life I know how. Because this is the only shot I get.

So you tell me, is it better to live your oh-so-short life in a manner which will preserve your soul (living like a pussy) for the eternal? Or should you wring every ounce of LIFE out of your frail body?
