How Many Has God Killed?

[Violet]

Unless the thing that you see teaches you something that you didn't understand before, what good is it?

Plenty. Most of my food I've seen before. Are you trying to tell me that my food isn't good?

Seeing things for seeing sake doesn't mean squat unless it can benfit someone else as much as yourself.

It means a lot more than squat to me

If you can't accept the idea of a miracle, don't ever expect to recognize one if you see it.

What then is the idea of a miracle that I would neither accept its existence or recognize it when I see it?

Haven't you ever had a coincidence happen that really should not have happened.

Yes. There was this one time when an erratic Bulrathi didn't declare war on me after bombing down 3 of their colonies, getting caught stealing their technology, and also hitting a 'you are too big' diplomacy penalty.

And that is why I will never again play on Hard difficulty. It's way too easy. Impossible is the only difficulty for me

You read them in the paper or see them in the news sometimes. Three consecutive holes in one in a single golf game. I've seen this happen twice, as reported by news media. How about the wild ice hockey shot all over the internet last week. The puck flew right through the goalies legs toward the goal and then makes an extreme 45degree swerve right out of the net.

And none of these surprise me. Excellence is what I desire to see. Failure is what I anticipate to see. I consider a non-perfect score a failure.

The world is not all wrapped up with nice neat answers about anything, including religion.

Sure it is. I don't believe all of those answers are correct though.

We have to sift through all kinds of junk to deduce what we believe about anything.

Kinda. We also have to sift between what we see as quite plausible

If you have only seen the garbage side of religions, then I don't blame any of you for rejecting anything I say.

And I've also seen good side to religions. Do you blame me?

In my history, 57 years, I have seen more garbage than anything else. Since there is so much of it happening, I deduce that it is here to teach us something.

In my 18 years I have seen plenty of garbage and expect nothing but garbage
