in the dark of night every atheist half believes

Quote: Edward Young (or Frank Gallagher)

Now I’m not a religious person, in fact most of the time I think it’s complete bunk. But I’m not an atheist, never have been. Denying anything to the point of absolute certainty is just plain impractical, given how often new discoveries are made and the world is turned anew.

So what do I believe? I often wonder myself, as I know the bible, the koran, the torah, and every other ‘holy’ text is ‘cursed by the methods of man’ and are mostly built to control the populace, for good and for bad. Though there is a message throughout them all of being better, helping more, of sharing and working for good. The darker beings misappropriate and misguide, and everyone is the poorer for it.

Sometimes I ‘might’ believe in a creator, although I’m pretty damn sure it’s not some bearded dude in the sky, as I often think something had to have come before the universe we know: but I don’t know if it’s simple because my small human brain can’t conceive of the absence of anything, or if my fanciful imagination would just like to invisage some being greater than our flawed human selves.

One thing I do know for sure, it’s not watching us, it doesn’t particularly care… after all, why would it?

We’re just the goldfish in somebody else’s bowl.
