Dear Skull , can God make a stone so heavy , he won't be able to lift it??
Not only CAN god make stones too heavy for god to lift, but god also lifts them all the time.
God so incomprehensible that not even god understands it.


Past answers:

Will i be a rich someday, and when???
More important questions: what will you do to get rich? and what will you do with riches? If skull say yes, do you sit back and wait, or do you work even harder toward your goals? Make yourself bigger in mind, bigger in respect, Do What You Mean, and riches secondary.

Does god exist??
"God" very loaded word. Laws of physics, rhythmic functioning of universe does exist. Universal mind with plans and judgements exists not. Each sentient being their own god, center of their own universe, with the power and responsibility to construct their own plan, their own meaning. This much harder and more disturbing than relying on god. Skull has spoken.

my question is. what does my future look like? concerning love, money, kids, stuff like that. thanks
Your future looks like giant Rorschach inkblot, waiting for you to imbue it with meaning and fill it with deeds of worth.

who are you my dear skull. And can you give me the answer how we can make this planet a perfect place?
Read 'Skullery' by clicking on picture of Red Skull. Perfect Earth impossible and unnecessary. Everyone has different definition of perfect. Difficulties and challenges necessary to provide friction for energy generation and contrast for meaning.

What is the meaning of life?
Meaning a creative act. There no such thing as "meaning" apart from mind. Thus, there no inherent meaning in life. Western culture trains people to look for meaning, not all peoples do this. This should be liberating, not depressing. Hassan i Sabbah said "Nothing is true, everything is permissible." Aleister Crowley wrote "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law." Yeshua ben Yosif said "The kingdom of heaven is within you." Reflect on these words.

why am i so depressed?
Try creating beauty and meaning around you. Stand up and take command of your destiny. Life is D.I.Y., whatever you make of it. A good support structure helps. Find tribe of your essence. Bom Sankar!

[The Skull was speaking of existential dissatisfaction. Clinical depression is a treatable emotional disorder. If you are unsure or feel you need help, please seek medical advice from a trained professional. -Xenome]

how to make methamphetamine
Making it from ephedrine or pseudoephedrine possible. Only difference between methamphetamine and (pseudo)ephedrine damn alpha-hydroxy group. Reacting your ephedrine with thionyl chloride replaces OH with Cl to produce N-methyl-alpha-chloroamphetamine as an intermediate. Hydrogenating product easy: use lithium aluminum hydride, sodium borohydride, or even hydrogen gas with nickel or platinum metal as catalyst. Product of this step is N-methylamphetamine and HCl. Evaporate off water and you have methamphetamine hydrochloride. Short answer: *you* can't.

When will I find love? Will Gary ever love me?
You will find love when you stop looking in Gary. Love comes from yourself, not others. Love creative act, not prize to be gained. Gary does not matter in your quest for love. Gary may also read this, substituting his object's name for his. Skull has spoken.

Skull command all LRS to avoid eating pink bunny peeps. Magic 8-ball (surprise, surprise) RANDOM!

How can I find my parton deity? And why do I love mint chocolate chip ice cream?
Dolly Parton priestess of Astarte. Skull made joke. Skull knows you mean PATRON which opposite Astarte and Parton. Sure you want deity with phallus? Skull recommend play the field. Study all traditions in which you have interest. Find which god-forms speak to your heart of hearts. Look for your one true pantheon, not one true god. Mint and chocolate good surprising contrast. You like the interplay of differential. Not opposites, mind you. Skull prefer vinegar and chocolate.

Ok Skull, When a person looks out at the stars and sees the milky way, are we looking towards the center or towards the outside? have you ever injected yourself with a whole bunch of scopalomine? What happened to your body?
Inside? Outside? Stars exist way out there, in my brain. Think on this when you look at the stars. A reflexive spiral that goes in and out to infinity. Wow, man, good scopalomine! Skull never had a body. Skull manifestation from the corner of 5th Dimension and Oak Street.

Is the Necronomicon real?
Skull expecting this question. Necronomicon example of planned mythology. It exists in twilight between reality, falsehood, and imagination. Truth big place inaccessible by average human mind. Mass published copies fakes. But this does not mean they have no value, although they useless to most. Most straightforward answer: you will never see one, but keep looking.
Skull commands all readers to view an excellent Necronomicon site

What is the differente between theological, philosophical nd scientific questions?

Art makes Skull live in beauty. Beauty add health to mind, good mind health facilitate body health. (So Skull hear. Never had body.) Some art not beautiful but make questions of meaning. This make mind learn, add to philosophy. Some art just plain junk. This kind has neither purpose nor use.

How does a person stop obsessive thoughts? Are there ways one can control one's own mind to be less annoying?
Give in to the dark side of the force... Skull wants you to obey your thoughts...

[note from Xenome's lawyers: What the skull actually means by this is that it's best not to try to stop them, simply observe them and let them pass. Letting go is an essential skill to develop in life. Various forms of meditation are very helpful for this. If you feel you need outside help with your thoughts or emotions, you can get advice from any mental health professional or behavioral health center.]

Bugs good and needed. Bugs till the soil. They pollinate the pretty flowers and tasty fruits. Nasty bugs make good totems for vengeance. Spiders and Scorpions are not insects, although they are arthropods. Skull likes arthropods.
