comforting thoughts

[loopyzany]

Previously, I had a religious phase. Some of you may remember that. One of the things I believed at that time was that God was terribly interested and very actively involved in every little aspect of life. That led to a lot of frustration and crises of faith, since bad stuff kept happening no matter how hard I prayed or how good I tried to be or

I'm finding that having read and watched TV shows recently about the current theories of space and time have given me a strange kind of comfort on top of this kind you describe.

Basically, what it boils down to is that we currently exist in a state where certain people are no longer alive. But they still live, just further back in the time line, before these things happened. Also, there is a likelihood that there are quantum states of the universe in which they are also still alive. It's sort of an atheist form of afterlife. I'm sure it's not so comforting to lots of other people, but for me it's working, which I find odd.

Lol! That's great. That does rather take blame out of the equation, now doesn't it.

What have you read or watched? Dr Who? Whatever it is I would mind seeing/readiging it.

Yeah, I can relate to this a lot. There are things I miss about religion but I just can't force myself to believe. I think I might try to make some sort of journey into spirituality without faith. I think I might start with this book.

Wow. I'm glad that is one thing you don't have to worry about. I'm glad someone doesn't have to
