QuoteI can explain Religion in one paragraph now: When a strong human finds his True Will, he feels its Truth so strongly and his life becomes so powerful, that he is tempted into the false belief that he has discovered everyone's True Will. Then he becomes a Prophet, like Jesus, who was probably very impressive indeed, but still made the fundamental mistake of taking his True Will for everyone's.
That's all there's to it. If you are not fulfilled and joyful, you are not doing God's will. Revelation is personal.
QuoteThus, even on Catholicism being true, Hell seems *preferable* because then I at least get to *live* (properly understood as living *my way*) for *a while* as opposed to *not at all* by following Jesus instead of myself.
I myself don't really believe in "Evil", as a concept. I'm a fan of Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals – There is Good, the abilty to reach your goals, and Bad, failing at being good. "Evil" is what the Bad call the Good when the latter do what the former dislike ;)
There is the phrase "the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must" – and when the weak resent the strong, they call them "evil". Then they call themselves "good" for not doing what the "evil" do, attacking, killing etc. Which, since they are weak, they can't do in the first place. So they're trying to turn their weakness into a illusory virtue. That's at least my quick interpretation of Nietzsche.

QuoteMicrocheating, a term popularized by Australian psychologist Melanie Schilling, could be anything short of a physical or emotional relationship if it involves a behavior you can't talk about openly with a partner.
Besides furtive social media chatting, it also could mean lingering too long at the water cooler to talk to a co-worker, sharing personal details of your own relationship, or dressing up if you know you'll see someone.

QuoteDolly previously shed light on the truth about their marriage, quipping that they were in an 'open' relationship when it came to flirting, but not anything else.
'He's not jealous and I'm not jealous of him. He knows I flirt. He flirts too,' t previously said as she set the record straight.
'Yes, it's an open relationship, but NOT sexually and I would kill him if I thought he was doing that. He would shoot me too. At the end of the day we love each other madly.'

QuoteYet when she moved to Washington in 1857 with her husband and their young daughter, Laura, she came under the spell of Key, a 39-year-old widower to whom many women were attracted. By the spring of 1858 they were deeply into a passionate, obsessive affair, which she seems to have "lived within . . . as a secret fantasy, as in a virtual and time-consuming experience that lacked any power to inflict damage on other areas of her life."
