    YES! I'm so glad the sin theme won, I'll try to get my entry up. Most times I just end up too lazy or blocked. Which sucks.
    All I ever lead to is chaos.



    If, after we have recognized intuitively a number of simple truths, we wish to draw any inference from them, it is useful to run them over in a continuous and uninterrupted act of thought, to reflect upon their relations to one another, and to grasp together distinctly a number of these propositions so far as is possible at the same time. For this is a way of making our knowledge much more certain, and of greatly increasing the power of the mind.

    We ought to give the whole of our attention to the most insignificant and most easily mastered facts, and remain a long time in contemplation of them until we are accustomed to behold the truth clearly and distinctly.

    The Meditator reasons that he need only find some reason to doubt his present opinions in order to prompt him to seek sturdier foundations for his knowledge. Rather than doubt every one of his opinions individually, he reasons that he might cast them all into doubt if he can doubt the foundations and basic principles upon which his opinions are founded.

    @Raez: It was decided by 12 sided dice roll. I rolled three times. Odd = Sins, Even = Sacrifice.

    First: 8.
    Second: 3.
    Third: 1.

    Since it was so close I won't be surprised if Sacrifice wins the next theme voting thread. Oh, and yes, we'll continue that.

    Anyway, best of luck to you Raez.

    @Kadaeux: Best of luck to you as well, old friend.

    I'll definitely compete in this one.
    Why do you ask what, when the delicious question is when?
