  • "It's imaginary reality, if you will...When I fall in love with someone, I want to know their soul. I used to think that it was a measure of self-providence, collecting weaknesses to use at a later time when things are not as tranquil now. However, for some odd reason, I am disarmed by this creature and find her ever-fascinating..."

  • "Agreed. Economy serves better here. Did some re-stylizing for clarity as well as aesthetics. Note: powerful sleeping drugs and poetic thought don't mix - the drugs end up being rendered useless by the relentless."

  • "And by the way, I start this piece debunking the theory...I just don't believe that you adequately nullified with your hubriac dismissal of the invisible hand...(the invisible hand - that's a good one - like the market)"

  • "You need to share. I don't believe this - no one I have ever known has had a worse time of it than me - even with a couple o' major unforeseen "act of God" tragedies...Now I'm curious."

  • "So basically, what you're saying is, that "God" is essentially the "Architect" from the second installment from the Matrix? I had this notion when I was a teenager - made me want to raise an army and kill God for being such a... how can this be, I'm a loss for words!"

  • "But then, we're working under the assumption - that "not all men are created equal" some 'get' religion and other's don't? Perhaps semantically splitting hairs, but what exactly is 'getting' it? Is it cognitive or are we talking about that indefinable realm of the 'spiritual'?"

  • "You do, and by the tenets of at least Christianity, God 'loves' all his creations - just some more than others ;-P My point being, is not if there "is" a God or "is not" but the God we manufacture and allow to constrict our free will most definitely not...When I meet God, I want to find out first, can he take a punch..."

  • "I get your point, but allow me to retort: If we have free will - then where does our social instinct come from? Why do people band together into nations, groups, societies and religions? Shouldn't we reject such constructs based on this premise of free will? What makes us more than apes who know how to fish? The answer lies in the benefits of the tribe. Grouping is beneficial, even if you have to relinquish freedom. But please, don't confuse free will as a choice between individuality and starving to death because the Christians have all the food..."

  • "We already do have other things to kill each other over. The issue with religion is its coherent stated dedication to one set of principles and the outright violation of those self-said principles. People can do good without being religious. This was the message of the New Testament of the Bible: only 2 things are required - Love of God and Love of your fellow man. But how can one love God - only through your fellow man - and there is your principle - why do you need to have faith to treat people fairly and with respect?? And Mother Teresa and MLK were not really the "saints" we made them out to be as time always reveals the "human" behind the "hero/herorine""

  • "Then why need faith? It either true or no, faith is where religious wars and atrocities grow. Perhaps, as Chris Rock says, it's better have an "idea" a "notion" - faith implies infallibility..."

  • "Interesting observation. When I was dying, I was quite torn - death would solve all my problems. Sure, questions unanswered but rendered irrelevant by the finality. But I'm obsessed - I don't want to go until the universe reveals its true nature to me. "
