So, I was trying to think of a way to connect the religious and the non-religious, alike.
Because, we're all part of the same species / food-chain / planet / solar system / galaxy / universe.
But what do we have in common?
The answer is: nothingness / loneliness.
If there is a God that is all encompassing (as there is, according to most religions),
then that God is everything and He (it / She / Allah / Jesus / whatever) is alone...
I think I've had a glimpse of that loneliness.
Life explodes out of it.
That's what this is, I think.
We are the solution to nothing.
Atheism / theism: the same; they just make different assumptions about God.
...
I apologize about the title of the thread, if you're still reading.
I've been translating a lot of Japanese. Couldn't resist an exclamation.
...
The big question is almost always phrased with the following inclination "Why are we here?"
Here, as opposed to not being here. So, it's just as reasonable to ask, "why shouldn't we be here?"
"Should nothing exist?"
As it stands, it is half a question.
If God is everything, he must create (for fear of going mad).
That's all this is, I think.
It is like a breath, the universe.
It doesn't need a grand reason.
Me, writing this. You reading it.
Everything that has ever happened.
Just one of God's trips.
Just a fingerprint.
Nothingness: sometimes, I think it's beautiful, and it gives me strength; at other times, it scares me.
...
What do you think?
If you believe in God, is God alone? (If not, why not?)
