Three Perspectives

I'm a cynic.
Especially in regards to christianity.
And I wonder how people can believe in a god in this world.

First of all, there's the scientific evidence that points away from everything said in the bible.
Evolution, astronomy, geology, archeology, paleantology and the list goes on.
The universe couldn't possibly have been 6000 years old.

The idea that everyone is doomed to an eternity in hell amuses me.
At least you're still there? What is there to feel, if there is no coporal body to feel with.
Perhaps if there is a soul, my definition of it would be different.
Gaia, I think a life stream, free of individualism would be more probable.

Animals have souls, so do plants and we'd be elitist if we think we're more imporant than any of them. And this soul, an essence, would return to the lifestream upon our death?

I dont know. But as I watch Rice '09, I can't help but feel awed by the unity of the crowd, and at the same time, realising how different everyone is.
Perhaps the purpose of religion is not the religion itself, but the unity and reconciliation it brings.
The ultimate Spirit. Power of the mass. Gathering of little powers to rock our world.

Yeaa i said i would write yesterday but i sorta never did...

Couldnt blame me, i woke up at 11 and had to go at three...

As you can prolly deduce, i went to RICE rally '09, and no i'm not christian, something else you prolly guessed already.

As far back as i can remember, i've toyed with the idea of there being a god or some sort of supernatural power governing the general running of the universe. If not, how could such order have arrived out of ultimate chaos? But no matter how much i thought about it, the more this existance shifts towards a law of physics, something deducable and less towards a being, whether it be god, goddess or a group of executives running the earth like a small factory.

There is definately something wrong with the world, but humanity is not the answer. We are merely insignificant beings shaped by accident and like the dinosaurs, we'll pay for our superiority through a short existance.

Perhaps Gaia, the god, is the earth. The earth shaped us to purge the world, so it can start over? Afterall, it was only after the dinosaurs, the ultimate lizards, were wiped out that mammals took over the world. We might play a similar role to that of dinosaurs, being the ultimate mammals shaped to wipe out the rest of the mammals so another genre of organisms can rise.

I don't know. And i dont think anyone ever will.

It's a very interesting situation. I watched them stand close.
She's carefree, if not alittle naive, happy and the sky is never the limit for her.
And he's different.

She leans on his shoulder, with light in her eyes. The stage? Or a visualization of joy.
And he's happy there, just being near her radiant presence.

I smile. Laugh. Not a twinge of anything else but happiness.
Maybe this was what i've been told.
Wishing for nothing more but to move on from the past, feeling the euphoria of another.
Best of luck, what you share is something beautiful.
But you dont need me to tell you that do you?
No, you both know quite well, quite well...

And as for me, maybe something new is already beginning.
Only time will tell i guess.
And provide an answer for this rather... interesting situation.
