Randomity in early September

Random thoughts on random things:

If a criminal committed murder, and this criminal doesn't believe in God and the afterlife - locking him away for life isn't adequate a punishment. He gets to live. Wouldn't capital punishment be more suitable? But then again, imagine this law is applicable in real life. A criminal can just pretend to believe in God to save his ass from death row right?

And let's say this murderer don't believe in God, shouldn't a punishment similar to the way the murderer killed his / her victim be just?


Sometimes I wonder, God created Earth, and let's just say aliens do exist in some other galaxies. Do the aliens pray to same God, or they don't believe in God? Or have they actually met God in their universe?

What is outside the blackness of space, we all know space is vast and unmeasurable, but what is it at the end, the outer limit, the further-est reaches of space...what is there? Is there an end to it? Or does it just go on and on and on infinitely? I remember an end scene from Men In Black 2, yeah I think it's part 2 - wait was it the first movie, not a great movie but anyway. The camera pulls out of the Earth and then out of the galaxy and then out of the big black sky and you see that the big black sky is a sphere, and then there were these giant monster alien things playing with the black spherical ball like it was a football. And there were many other black balls that the monsters were playing with! When I was little, I used to imagine something similar except that there is only one black ball and God is looking at it like it was those magic crystal ball.

When I was a kid, in religious class they told us not to think about these things because it can make people insane. In a way I guess that's true, maybe that's why staunch atheists are too busy trying to disprove people who have religious beliefs to the point of insulting them?

Whenever I listen to John Lennon's Imagine, I try to imagine - seriously - a world without countries, without religion, without material possessions. But in my mind's eye all I could see is Mars. Like, the planet. Plus the song means naught when the person who originally sang it didn't practise what it preaches. It's easy to blame countries, institutions, religions and material possessions for things that go wrong, but nobody blames the very nature of humanity itself. It's inner greed, envy, jealousy, anger. I suppose that's why I see Mars. A world without humans.

When you die, do you see the world like how you dream when you sleep? If so, that's frustrating because when I dream of my parents house, it never looks like how it does now, it always looks like the old house, before it was renovated. And I never dream of the house I'm living at now, except for my bedroom.
