Wondering....I started to put on more eye makeup ...as a teenager when Irefused to go to the SDAist church. I also dyed my hair and let it grow longer. My mother would hack my hair on regular intervals to make me look shit! These days thou'..I can't be bothered too much with makeup...doesn't seem to stick on well in the tropical climate.Meh...I'm thinking I might need a makeover!

In exchange for obedience, Christianity promises salvation in an afterlife; but in order to elicit obedience through this promise, Christianity must convince people that they need salvation, that there is something to be saved from. Christianity has nothing to offer a happy person living in a natural, intelligible universe. If Christianity is to gain a motivational foothold, it must declare war on earthly pleasure and happiness, and this, historically, has been its precise course of action. In the eyes of Christianity, woman(man) is sinful and helpless in the face of God, and is potential fuel for the flames of hell. Just as Christianity must destroy reason before it can introduce faith, so it must destroy happiness before it can introduce salvation.
-- George H Smith, Atheism: The Case Against God
