Life threw several 55 gallon barrels of darts at a wall the size of a planet, and a handful stuck. We call that intelligence? Design? Hardly. We humans beings are a natural means of assembly. We did not invent flight, we imitated it, we did not invent combustion, we bottled it.
Wow, I really like the analogy of darts, but what threw them at this small target called earth? I think there is great randomness in this universe but it still STRIVES for survival and evolution. I am glad that I am alive and well. Religion, in it's best forms, elicits great mysticism and humility at the same time. I am happy to be alive and to have ever even existed. I don't know shit, I just want you and me to be free, truly free, my friend.
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
