Is there a point to living?
My dad was talking with me about how I need to convert to Christianity today, because I don't have an ultimate goal for my life. But let me clarify to my father. I DO have a point to living. I live so that I can see my friends, so that I can stare into Nelya's (a chick) hazel eyes, for the little pleasures in life, like eating chocolate, and for the larger pleasures in life, like psychoactives. Of course my dad would argue that it's only in your head and it doesn't count. I disagree. Live for whatever is most important to you.
We human beings don't have an ultimate to live for, and those who are just wishing for the impossible. And so they live under an illusion. I pity you.

Marijuana Studies

After seeing these studies, one can assume that Cannabis is not as bad as some would have you to believe.
I say legalize all drugs, but legalize pot at the minimum.

Marijuana's Gateway Effect = BULLSHIT
You've probably heard it - smoking marijuana will make you into a Heroin/Meth/Cocaine addict. I've heard it from my parents regularly (especially now, since I'm under house arrest for supposedly smoking cannabis), and even more recently, from an article my parents read on marijuana.
Sorry, Conservatives and Christians, your theory is easily crushed.
The way the government got this "fact" was by looking at cocaine users and seeing the 17% of cocaine users have tried Marijuana. Then they somehow omit the fact that 83% of people who have tried pot have never tried Cocaine. How the FUCK did that happen? Easy answer - they just need something to battle the "evils" of pot. Unfortunately, they lack any real evidence, so they need to resort to bullshit.
Personally, I've seen that, though most of my friends have at least tried Pot; not even one has even a thought of trying Cocaine, or any other "hard drug".
Now go and smoke a joint, and tell the Republicans to fuck off.

Stop Praying, for God's sake!
In this short article, I'd like to bash a little on prayer.
My thesis statement: "Stop fucking praying, it doesn't do shit". You can pray to anything, Allah, God, Whatever, and it will not affect the outcome of anything in any way. Once you make a prayer, nothing special happens, events don't magically change, they go how they were already going.
Me and my sister were being bored at home one day. My father sometimes works at home, which usually ends up sucking the fun out of the day for us. So I offered to pray to my sister's parakeet, Timothy, to ask him to make my dad leave for work. She agreed. I did a quick short prayer, threatening that if the prayer wasn't fulfilled we would starve him. Approximately ten minutes later, my dad was walking out the door saying goodbye to my mother, leaving for work. So...can I say Timothy is God? Considering he looks pretty fat and looks like he's going to die pretty soon, I'd take a safe bet on 'no'. There was an equal chance my dad wouldn't leave...MY PRAYER DIDN'T DO SHIT.
"Stanislav, young man, God has answered many of my prayers". He has, has He? How do you explain the one's not answered? And as my Christian dad would surely reply, "It's God's Will". You can pray to anything you want and your chances of not getting what you want remain the same. And to the reply of everything happens as God wants it to, I always ask, "then why in the world do you pray ANYWAYS?!?". Even if you believe prayers go up to God, it still doesn't change the fact that nothing will go against God's plans. Either way, you're screwed.
Oh and by the way, study has shown that, as unbelievable as it sounds, praying does not help the sick. Was quite surprising!
Don't bother praying, it has let me down, millions of other people down, and it will let you down!

About this Blog and Me
Welcome to the Controversial Musings Blog.
A little bit about me for starters. I am a 15 year old teenager living in the US named Stanislav (Russian). I have been brought up in an extremely religious family (still live in it, obviously); personally me though, I am an agnostic who leans more towards Atheism than anything else. I am fairly liberal and say: "do whatever the hell you want as long as it hurts noone else (much like the Wiccans do). Some "hobbies" I enjoy are weightlifting (3 years almost now), hanging out with friends, and listening to music. In fact, I love such a great variety of music, I can switch off from "1,2,3,4" by Plain White T's to "Scream, Aim, Fire" by BFMV.
Now; this blog is for my thoughts on a pretty large number of topics. My favorites: Religion-bashing, Drugs, Politics - so if it's not that cup of your tea, you better press the "X" in the top right corner. Trust me, it'll save you from a lot of indignant anger. Also if you are a Fundamentalist Christian, my advice is you should never visit here again. You've been warned.
And for my last bit before I depart. Please if you find any errors (or just want to comment on something) then throw a shotout to me. You can contact me at "staspk@live.com". After all, I'm only a stupid teenager.
