RE: Heredise Reign
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I count myself fortunate to have realized that I am incompetent to ascertain whether there is or isn't God, and therefore to be immune to the sundry flavors of religion. I'm lucky enough to be able to tie my shoes. I have also been blessed to gain some measure of humility, because the conceit it has supplanted really sucked.
God, I am proud of my humility!
"we must defend against factionalism and being usurped."
I reckon the best defense against factionalism is to be helpful to folks hereabouts. If being on good personal terms with them has any value beyond my enjoyment of it, it should be factionalism resistance. As to usurping, I'm a lot easier to kill than usurp.
Thanks!

Yeah, the question of a god, to me, has been figured out, but the answer is more complexly technical than theological. To me, life itself is divine, while non-life is mundane. Rocks, water, fire all have their beauty, but life is a certain type of extraordinary that demands to stand-out compared to non-living matter.
But if life is what is divine, and humans wish to have a "god character," then the most wise answer is already what many beliefs are: We have to wait and see.
Simple things grow more complex over time, so rather than a god being at the beginning of a universe, I would call the beginning of the universe "godless chaos," and thus, time itself is the divide between non-sense death, chemical-physical chaos, versus new-born life, complexity, order, art, science, and glorious endeavors of life throughout time and space and evolution.
God is an expression even atheists will say, simply for the fact that we need a word for the Awesome.
