A Religion for the Non Religious

[Wyrd of Gawd]

There's a big difference regarding the purple blob. The purple blob is the unknown and perhaps (at least for the present) unknowable. You theists (at least the dogmatic kind) have this amazing idea that it's not unknown to you. You believe you know what it is, what it wants and that you can telepathically communicate with it. Even more problematic, each of you have a different idea about this purple blob - and all of you are convinced that you are right.

The purple blob represents that there is something more, something greater, and that it is and beyond our current ability to comprehend.

To him (the author), it is completely unknown. And that is why he describes it as the unknown. To us Christians, we see it as being God (which we also don't fully understand).

^Even though these are 2 different approaches, we are still in agreement that there is more out there, regardless of whether that's God, or simply anything else we don't fully comprehend and having nothing to do with any god.

This is what I mean when I refer to us religious and non religious alike having the same basic principle.

So even though you don't have a clue as to what your favorite "god" creature is you believe in people's favorite ethnocentric religious fairy tales about him and how he favors them to the exclusion of the rest of humanity.  Sounds reasonable.
