Are all atheists stuck in their linear thinking intellectual minds. Isn't all intellectual thought unfounded? There is no truth from which our concepts and science have developed from. Yeah we observed the world around us but doesn't modern science , quantom mechanics, kind of show us that something completely unknowable is the ultimate source of the world we see around us? Maybe its not a diety behind the phenomonon of life but whatever it is is sure worth praising? no? Science kind of has a way of making us think we know something when we really don't know anything. any comments?

I've heard the Mongolians had the largest empire in history but hearing about how large Alexander's was it's hard to imagine. Also if a Mongolian other than Genghis Khan had a larger empire replace him with them. And please inform me if anyone outdid either of these two.

Lying awake
Bitter at all stakes
Wondering why you
And figuring on what to do

You seem to blame everyone and everything
For every problem that seems to spring
Even though the one to blame
Is the one who points fingers; the very same

The realization hits you like a ton of bricks
After you’ve been beaten with burdening sticks
Beaten and broken
Blood dried and sweat soaking

You cant even feel your body anymore
And you wonder if it’s even sore
The way you imagined it’d be
If you’d ever drown in the snaring sea

You wonder why you put so much on yourself
Why love for you is something you’ve never felt
Why you seem to hate on the one you call “me”
Why anyone who loves you, you cant see

So you fight and you hide
And push anyone away who dares to find
They’ll search for things you don’t know
Things inside your very soul

(more to be added)

IT looks like a charcoal sketch of two children sitting in a horse buggy with a man wearing a hat driving it. The picture is a rear view (looking from behind).

I'm not questioning the notion of a God. But when we know that there are living things that we can't see with the naked eye, do you think we might be the microscopic dot on some far vaster existence that is too immense for us to understand? Literally, we could be like a grain of sand on someones beach.

Okay, I'm writting a short story and I want to have song lyrics in the mix. Would I have to get the artist's permission to use the lyrics or is it okay to use them if I use them in the exact context of the song and cite the artist and the song?

I just joined a university marching band few days ago (i am n the band camp right now.) and play the flute. I have no experience in high school marching band and have not played flute before, either. I found that it is really hard of being a member in the band since I just started to learn the flute (self teaching and has private lesson by a music major college student). We have 8 hours of practice each week in the marching band. Everyone in this band has played the flute for many years and have been in marching band in high school. I personally think it is really stressful being in this band since I can hardly play those music...but we have a lot of fun in the band and I've made nice friends in there. So should I quit the band? Is that possible to catch up if I have private flute lessons(btw, i pay the lessons by myself), how long it will take for this transition? Is it worth to be in the marching band?
