Me. But I'm only here to represent.
Maybe when I'm not so tired I'll want to say more. Or maybe not depending on things. It frequently doesn't go so well here when some of us non-Christians start talking. Makes some Christians all prickly and itchy.
true, that. but sometimes you can say fuck it. they're all theories in the end.
i dont know who made us, or rather have a faith which explains it. i dont really care either. whoever or whatever, i dont feel, is a necessary knowledge. i see a balance and it fascinates me. while we have these lovely sunsets and strawberries, we also have fire, hate, cruelty, impatience, theft, indifference. all we are surrounded by seems a long list of good or positive, and bad or negative. in a given year, we might bury an uncle to prostate cancer but give birth to a new baby. we will read news of a flood killing 17,000 people, but somewhere else farmers are having a crop record and life is flourishing, they're making money, there is food, business booms, market steadies, yada yada.
people seem desperate to find an answer or answers, but simply end up with a belief or faith they think is right and are comfortable with. i dont think anyone is closer than another to an answer. some people are just more comforted by what they think they make fit in their view. but i keep coming back to this balance thing at the end of the day and cant help but think we still all lead the same lives. those who have some path aren't luckier or more blessed. they bury their uncles and give birth too. they see the same sun rise and set as me and you and him and her and everyone, anyone.
i dunno. i'm not making much sense, so i'll leave it.
