here it is.

I was thinking about my  'metaphysics' section. The 'no god' thing. It's not provable or disprovable. There's equal likelihood of either. So why the hell don't i just say "yeah. there's a god. He's...generally benevolent. HE loves everybody. He's everywhere. He works in mysterious ways. He just wants everybody to be happy and shit. A ( Read more... )
