How would we be better off without religion?

“We’d all be freed to concentrate on the only life we are ever going to have. We’d be free to exult in the privilege – the remarkable good fortune – that each one of us enjoys through having been being born. An astronomically overwhelming majority of the people who could be born never will be. You are one of the tiny minority whose number came up. Be thankful that you have a life, and forsake your vain and presumptuous desire for a second one. The world would be a better place if we all had this positive attitude to life. It would also be a better place if morality was all about doing good to others and refraining from hurting them, rather than religion’s morbid obsession with private sin and the evils of sexual enjoyment.”

— Richard Dawkins, from “The Atheist” in Salon.com, April 30, 2005. (via Alive on All Channels)

Today's Oniverse game is Sylvion.

I've started getting into the Oniverse games. So far my favourite is Aerion then Stellarion, Onirim and Nautilion. They're all good though.

Florence, Italy

So I added a photo to the top thingy (whatever that's called). It's of Florence Cathedral. Florence is one of my favourite cities.

Iron Maiden and Senjutsu

Iron Maiden are one of those bands that never really change. You know what you’re going to get when a new album drops and that’s how it is with Senjutsu. Maiden are a long way from their 80s peak but this is by no means the worst album they’ve recorded. That honour goes to No Prayer For The Dying, although this isn’t a bad album, just my least favourite Maiden album.

It says something about the quality of a band when after 40 years they can still produce good music.I would put AC/DC, Overkill, Exodus and Anthrax in that category. Megadeth are still good but they had a couple of bad albums in the 90s. I won’t mention Metallica.

I’ve been shooting in RAW with a DSLR for nearly a decade now. I’ve spent hours in Lightroom (or similar software) editing my photos to perfection. Since I bought a Fujifilm X100V I’ve fallen in love the the film simulations. It reminds me of shooting on film, sort of. This one is using the Classic NEG simulation.
