reading on the treadmill

[klhart]

it has become if not a favored pastime, at least a pleasant escape. i feel like a slouch when i sit and read in this house. not everywhere do i feel this way about sitting a relaxing with a book in hand. just here. and i'm wondering if there isn't a thread to connect merton and vonnegut. perhaps the universal will to become is the same thing as a

Vonnegut - that name sounds familiar. Is his first name Kurt, by chance? I think he wrote one of those books that that evil woman made me read - Breakfast of Champions. Decent book, but I'm not big on the whole reading thing... unless it's a textbook or technical manual or something. :O)

Compromising yourself - selling out because of considering or adopting a loose belief in God? Hardly. Unless your personal description is that of a renowned atheist. And you needn't go "buying into all" of anything. I'll admit that even though I certainly believe in God's existence, it bears little resemblence to the traditional Judeo-Christian notion. And I never stop questioning that belief. It's much like how I believe in gravity. I continually question it - trying to find out how exactly it does what it does, how it manifests itself, how it ties in with the rest of the universe. I don't understand much about it at all. But I wouldn't go jumping off high places either

God IS energy. Discussing the physics of God is as futile as trying to imagine the breadth of the universe. Trying to boil God down using the Scientific Method is missing the point. Selling out is the name given to the concept of feeling your heart change and the conflict your brain feels compelled to uphold. Your brain represents your will to be consistent and your heart represents an equal and opposite will.

uhhh...

i'm not arguing the physics of god. just my belief in god.

I did not say arguing I said discussing which you were doing.
