11, How you will be treated in the afterlife, if there is one, is determined by how you treat cats in this life.

1. There is in fact a creator of the universe, but He works in ways that the human mind cannot comprehend and cannot be explained.
2. Several people who scream the loudest about their Christianity *cough*Pat Robertson are going to have serious explaining to do in the afterlife.
3. I believe that I will see my loved ones who have passed away before me again. In fact, the thought of seeing my son again someday is the thing that keep me going on the days I don’t even want to get out of bed.
4. People with developmental disabilities are the most fun to spend time with. Many of them take joy in so much that *typical* people take for granted, it brings a whole new perspective to me.
On a lighter note:

5. Mint chocolate chip ice cream is, by far, the best.
6. German Shepherds are, without a doubt, the coolest kind of dog to have, even if they only have three legs like mine.
7. Driving a mini-van doesn’t automatically make you uncool… or at least, I try to convince myself of this daily.
8. Having a baby changes everything,
9. In the case of nature vs. nurture, I give far more credence to the nurture side.
10. Chinese food was created for the sole purpose of making me fat and keeping me fat. Damn pregnancy cravings!

Oops, thought of a bonus one:
11. Good chocolate and good sex will increase your life expectancy. Conversely, bad chocolate and unenjoyable sex will decrease it.

1. Most people are basically rational and can be swayed by appeals to reason and clear statements of the facts.
2. In my lifetime, average life expectancy will extend to several hundred years.
3. I will die old.
4. I don’t believe in a god or gods, but believe that, if I am wrong, She will judge me more by my actions rather than condemn me for my lack of belief. (I use “She” only for convience. I have no idea of what gender, if any, the god I don’t believe in is.)
5. The universe is weirder, wilder, and more wonderful than we suspect.
6. The first and second laws of thermodynamics break down at some point.
7. The Holy Grail of thrombosis treatment, the medication that prevents clots without causing excess bleeding, exists.
8. Someone reading this will understand the silly and very obscure in-joke embedded in the above comment.
9. There’s nothing wrong with wearing black yearround. Or white. Or fuscia. Or whatever you feel like. Or not wearing, for that matter, except for that pesky legal issue.
10. People who drive SUVs in cities are destined to spend their next 100 lifetimes as the sort of bugs that get splattered on windshields. If they’re lucky.

1. Tuna subs and “white rice w/broccoli & garlic sauce” are two dishes that have very few calories.

2. I am unique.

3. I can hear the Spirit of the Greater Universe if I listen closely enough.

4. Whitney Houston was ruined by marriage.

5. Most people are made more by love and less by marriage.

6. One day virtual reality will allow me to have long conversations with Archie & Nero in their brownstone.

7. Golden Retrievers and Labs are smarter than humans.

8. Aliens lifeforms exist.

9. Those like Bush & his ilk are destined to be cockroaches in the next 100 lives – it is possible that they will not recover from the karmic missteps they have perpetated in this lifetime.

10. My son is the cutest baby in the world.

And Im Robbins and Vonnegut equally which isnt much in either case – they’re Bs to me.

Kevin Smith is more than overrated, he’s an inane moviemaker that cheats his audience by explaining fucking EVERYTHING like we can’t figure it out by our damn selves. Dude needs to take a comedy class and get over all those really cool conversations he had with his friends in college smoking dope. We’re real impressed, Kevin, now move along.

Karpd, I’ll second you on 7.

And if 10′s true, I want in. Can I join if I marry a non-practicing Jewish feminist?

did this at the ‘gon. doing it again, with a second set

1) New Zealand doesn’t exist.
2) I am still the target audience of most cartoons.
3) Bruce Timm is a fucking god (see 2).
4) Someone should put the Wachowski brothers out of my misery.
5) Red vs. Blue is far closer to common experience than anything in Shakespeare.
6) even dead, Bruce Lee can kick anybody’s ass.
7) Kevin Smith is not an overrated hack.
8) I deserve a pet Golden Marmoset.
9) Bob Dylan had a stroke in 1966. no one’s been able to tell.
10) The nazis are right, there IS a world zionist conspiracy, and one of these days, they’ll give me my rightful place as Jew overlord of the upper midwest, where I and my golden marmoset will look down on all creation and mock you weak goyim.
