We worship God because he does not exist, we fear him if he he does.
If God had existed, we would have killed him.
If God had not existed, then he shall be invented.
Therefor, God cannot exist.

"We worship God because he does exist."
God is a concept of an ideal human being, that is why we worship him and accept him. It is in this state that he is free to be manipulated into what humans want him to be and what he needs to be.

"We fear him if he he does."
God is an ideal being, therefor he is superior to us and more powerful than us. If he does exist, we would fear the power that he would possess because we will doubt him and his faithfulness to his ideal. This doubt will in time turn into fear that will eventually....

"If God had existed, we would have killed him."
To kill God, to protect us from something that we cannot comprehend or control. We must destroy anything that threaten or could threaten the human kind and God is such a being that has the ability to wipe out the human kind. In order to not be killed, we must kill first. This will happen because we fear God, and eventually lead us to making a mistake that we believe could anger God. In fear of avoiding his wrath that might not exist, we must terminate the cause.

"If God had not existed, then he shall be invented."
"If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him" - Voltaire
God is an ideal human, he give us hope and guidance and more importantly a way to control the mass so that they do not think and question world. The society needs God(or in current day, something equivalent to the concept of God) to function properly. That is why if we did kill God, we would have to create a replacement for him. If God never existed, then we will need to create him to serve that purpose.

In a way, God is actually a martyr for human greed. A way for small group to control the masses and keep society running the way it was, is and will be.

If oxen and lions had hands or could draw with hands and create works of art like those made by men, lions would draw pictures of gods like lions, and oxen gods like oxen, and they would make the bodies (of their gods) in accordance with the form that each species itself possesses.~Xenophanes (570-475 BC), Fragment 15.

*I have used he/him, but in reality i would careless about the gender of God.
*All of these represent my personal opinions and in no way written with intention to harm any person or organization specifically.

Also, Merry Christmas, Happy Belated End of the World and Happy New Year!

Apparently I MUST link blog with an anime, so i just choose Zegapain, they are in not real way related(at least not when I wrote it).

It is extremely rare for me to write a recommendation about an anime, but since I re-watched Candy☆Boy yesterday for the third time, I feel that I should recommend to other people this beautiful anime.

Start off with a little information about the anime:
English: Candy☆Boy ~Nonchalant Talk of the certain twin sisters in daily life~
Japanese: Candy☆Boy ~Nonchalant Talk of the certain twin sisters in daily life~
Romanji: Candy☆Boy ~Nonchalant Talk of the certain twin sisters in daily life~
Type: ONA (Original Net Animation)
Length of Episodes: ~15 Minutes
Total Episodes: 10
Producers: AIC
Genres: Romance, Incest, Yuri (Shoujo Ai), Slice of Life, Comedy
Official Rating: PG-13

Episodes Order:
Candy☆Boy EX1
Candy☆Boy Episode 0
Candy☆Boy 1 - 7
Candy☆Boy EX2

Now to the main article. I am sure many of you will not watch it because it is a Yuri + an Incest, that is your choice and I can/will not do anything to stop you. However, I think this is one of the main elements that make this anime so beautiful. So let’s put it in a review format.

Arts/Pictures/Graphics:
This anime employ something very similar Kanon and Clannad, its art have a very dreamlike quality. The scenery makes you feel like you are inside a dream, an ideal place. That can also be use to make it very serene, pure and innocence. This in the end making the anime feels very soft and calm. I also notice that the scenery is very well made and with some very great lightning used to make quite realistic sometime.

Sounds/Music/Voices Acting:
Most of modern anime uses BGM currently and when is anime voice acting bad? I did found a song that I like in this anime so bonus point?

Character Design:
I think this is the area that captivates me the most, the characters. Both of the main heroin is very unique is many different way. The older sister (Yukino) most of the time act very childish and innocence, but when the time calls for it she can get something done. The younger sister (Kanade) is the mature one of the two, but she has a shy personality when comes to certain thing. Kanade however, takes the lead when comes to certain things and is the more like the male counterpart of a couple. Despite that fact of that, she also acts very cute sometime which makes is a very interesting/confusing character to grasp. There is much more to those two’s personality, but going into it will take way to long. One more thing regarding the physical character design, I love Kanade’s hair style and when she wears glass and put her hair down.

Plot/Story:
THERE IS ABSOLUTY NO MALE IN THIS ANIME! The first of all they goes to a call girl high school and second of all most scene is taken in area with very little people and therefore allowing it to erase all male presence from this anime. On to the main point, the main plot is basically us following the twins around in part of their daily life. This is a romance based anime so you will see allot of scenes where they are very close, but they make it very easy to blend in so you feel little embarrassment or discomfort. I love this anime's plot because this GETS TO THE POINT, in most modern romance anime the main character gets push around being dense and then they finally gets together in the last episode. In here from the start we already know they are in love with each other and they both know is mutual. This anime lacks service, in fact that is one of the good points of this anime, and it doesn’t have much service at all. However they do have some very cute and adorable things like little fox Yukino. >< “So cute, I want to take it home.” The rest of the plot is very hard for me to describe because I feel a lack of words to describe it.

Enjoyment:
I love it and I re-watched it 3 times and I am still not bore by it. Each time I watch it, I found something more interesting that I missed before. When watching this anime, it feels like is keeping me in a dream, which I feel quite happy about.

Final Scoring: 9.6/10

Last Words:
I myself love romance Animes and I myself have seen quit a large sum of them. One trend I started to realize in modern anime is more service and less story which is bad news for me. However occasionally, a good romance anime do pop up and makes me feel happy again. This anime is definitely one of those romance anime which is up there in the worth watching. If you have very interest little in romance anime, I think you will not enjoyed this anime as much as I do. The main target audience of this anime is very hard to say, it all depend on far down you analysis it, but I do know is intended for those who likes romance Animes or to those who love pure/innocent/cute/adorable things. If you have enough interest to read till this line, then you will have enough interest to watch this anime. Thank you for reading and I hope you are willing to give this anime a try and hope to hear you feedback on it.
