i have reached a frontier dreamt about as a child -- the outer reaches of a vast realm under stars.. though an imaginative and inquisitive lad, my forward-looking mind and open heart could never have conjured up this fabulous, this infinite unreality into which i have been catapulted.

what may appear a distortion of my former reality i tentatively accept as a cosmic tableau that threatens both to fascinate and crush my frail, puny body and spirit.

i am unable to comprehend what i gaze upon with frightened, delicious terror.. my recent escape from lunaria was of sheer necessity: my people have been overtaken by a scorpion race of alien malefactors whose intent toward us was not one of beneficient intervention but that of conquest.

it all began one rather ordinary morning with a cup of coffee and a gluten free biscotti. She sat there staring at those proverbial clouds in her coffee when a soft delicate rustling in her sink snapped her out of her reverie. The first thought of course is as Edgar Allen Poe would say "tis some visitor rapping at my chamber door only this and nothing more". A creepy visitor like a roach or maybe even a mouse under those dirty dishes. But as we've come to expect in a story like this it's never that simple. This is a sci-fi tale or maybe a twilight zone adventure should we go over and check out the sink? Maybe we should just run out the front door and drive as fast as we can and when we return find the police and neighbors gathered around our place staring at a huge sinkhole. That is not nearly as much fun as inching toward the noise and in a timid voice say "who's there" or "hello" as they always do in the movies instead of getting out of there.

i cave willingly -- oh, so willingly -- to her amatory attentions.

All those questions Who are we? What are we? Is there some meaning to our existence and do we continue? I thought that if I gave it everything i could and dedicated my life to the search I would find the answers. It's proven to be a long and somewhat disturbing adventure. All i can come up with is "I don't know". After all this time the magnitude of what we don't know even about our planetary history is amazing. I'm just going to use my remaining lifetime to sort through whatever evidence i can verify and ponder possibilites. The one thing I do know is the meaning of life is to live and the pursuit of happiness is good and the pleasing of some demanding god is off the table.

So which religion IS actually correct?

by punkofnice in

i read plenty of threads here.. what amazes me is how each 'theist/believer' is totally convinced that their way/cult is the correct one.

even xtians are not in agreement over doctrine.. ok. so i've heard the excuse that it's the devil's fault..............but come on.............what a cop out.. is god so incapable of giving a consistant message of which is the true way?.

i'd tend to think god doesn't exist and it's just the thoughts of deluded people with deluded ideas.............otherwise the real truth would be obvious.. god is really powerless if it/she/they/it have to rely on the game of chinese whispers..

He stood on the shore

with a heart so pure

a tsunami waved

he was not saved

his heart was dashed upon the rocks

Seriously

i may not be able to find out the ultimate answers to our existence but I believe that i can find out some answers if i continue searching with as much honest critical thinking as I am capable of. it is so easy to fall into thinking traps one must monitor oneself constantly. We deceive ourselves and often fall for "so called evidence" and it is a rocky road. One has to be willing to accept something that may be unexpected and uncomfortable and not what you had hoped for if there if solid evidence.

i felt very disappointd when all the paths i had followed turned out to be wrong but it's part of the learning process and i feel that using my remaining lifetime finding out anything that might be true occupies my meaning of life desire. i realized that I wanted certain things to be true and I looked for evidence to support it. I've learned my lesson.
