Roulette Gods - By JT Emperado - Personal - http://maxpages.com/chinaman/Roulette

I'm currently taking a class at Eastern entitled "Introduction to Philosophy". It's an OK class. The people are kind of stupid though with the exception of an elite few. And only a super elite few of the elite few are willing to actually speak up in class and argue philosophy with Professor Beakley (I'm not one of those willing to argue). And who would want to really? He's a fucking flip job. He snaps his fingers everytime he thinks he has some grand, revealing point. He paces across the room 20 times per minute. Sometimes, he even paces partially out of the room...

But for some reason, the class is actually interesting in a "Man if my teacher weren't such a queer, this class would be perfect," type of way.

Beakley's been teaching us the idea of the existence or the non-existence of "God" (or some form of) through different philosophical perspectives. Once you get past the fact that Beakley is a wacko, you tend to learn some pretty interesting things about life.
From this, I have conceived my own philosophical theory about something totally irrelevent to your great lives and my sorry life.....

Take the game of roulette.
Let's pretend there's some type of "Roulette God". This "Roulette God" rewards those who believe in the game of roulette. Now by "believe in the game", I mean you believe that if you play roulette, you actually believe you have a shot at winning the big dollars.
(If you don't know what roulette is, it's a casino game where there's this big wheel with lots of numbers on it. The wheel can be spun to make a little silver ball jump, hop, skip, and move around and the object is to bet on a specific number, or a color representing half of the numbers, and you hope or pray to Roulette God that the ball lands on your color or number when the wheel is done spinning. The only way people usually win is by picking a color [black or red] cuz there are a ton of numbers and the odds are phenominally easier to pick the right color than number, but you don't win much.)
There are those in the world who believe it is absolutely impossible to win the big dollars at roulette because there are just so many damn numbers to choose from and to pick the single, solitary number that actually wins would be a phenominal (almost god-like) feat. So basically, the Roulette God would reward those who play and believe they can win. Although there is absolutely no gurantee that they will actually win. It's all a question of whether or not Roulette God is in a flowery mood or not.

Now on the philosophical flipside, there must be some opposing force to our Roulette God just as there is evil opposing the traditional Christian God. The opposing force to the Roulette God is the "Roulette Anti-God". The Roulette Anti-God also rewards people, but the people must be NON-BELIEVERS of the game of roulette. The Roulette Anti-God wants you to not believe in the game, meaning don't play, or you're screwed. So how are you rewarded exactly? Well by not playing and not believing, you're bound to save an unbelievable amount of money and an unbelievable amount of time. That's how you're rewarded.

("So what the hell is the point, JT. I think you're wasting my time right now. I wish there was a JT Anti-God that stopped me from reading this shitty piece of crap."
Sorry there friend, you're just going to have to keep reading cuz you're already this far. Not to mention crap is pretty shitty. Pick your words properly next time there.)

There are people in the world who have won at the game of roulette, not many, but there are some. Therefore the Roulette God does have an existence in the world now doesn't it. But then again, there are people in the world who have probably saved thousands of dollars and a ton of time by not playing to begin with. There's the presence of the Roulette Anti-God. (I think I'm getting sidetracked... I know I already implied all this before. It's a bad habit picked up from Beakley. He's a dork.)

So what I say is it is absolutely better to believe in the Roulette God than the Anti Roulette God. Why? The reward for believing in the Roulette God is potentially far more rewarding than believing in the Roulette Anti-God. Do you want to gain millions? Or do you want to gain nothing. Yeah, sure. You can lose millions. But I doubt you will. The Roulette Anti-God can't exactly stop your strong will and desire to be filthy rich now can it? The more spins you take at the Roulette wheel, the better the chance you will win. The Roulette God is very fair and will give you your fare due under the right circumstances (good mood has a lot to do with it). So give the Roulette God a shot. What's there to lose? Would you rather bet on something that payed off something? Or nothing? That is the question you must ask yourself.

(But the ABSOLUTELY REAL QUESTION IS "Did you understand the true meaning of this article?..........")

Happy Rouletting people. You won't regret it. :) - JT Emperado
