    Supreme Being

    OK, this could either be really interesting or a massive shitstorm: Use this thread to talk about your views on a supreme being, in whatever form you happen to observe.

    Kelsey is shy at times but really opens up once you get to know her. She's got this cute little smile where the corner of her lip curls up. She's athletic and just clumsy enough to be cute. She's got a great sense of humor.

    I believe in a higher power. I do not believe in destiny however. I believe that higher power presents us with situations and we make choices that we have to live with.

    So free will, but I don't believe the things I have seen are all just random coincidences.
    Phil Wenneck: The man purse. You actually gonna wear that or are you just fuckin' with me?
    Alan Garner: It's where I keep all my things. Get a lot of compliments on this. Plus it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.

    Which is to say, not in a supreme being? Come on now, don't mince words.

    OK, so no predestination but a higher power. What kind of higher power is it? Like, what does it do?

    No supreme being. No afterlife. No nothing. Worm food.

    Just 70.3 years on this big rock doing the best we can.

    Better?

    I firmly believe that there is more than what we can see, taste or touch. I fully believe that there is a higher power. Is it a supreme being? Well, I definitely don't believe in an old white dude wearing a white robe and sitting on some thrown looking down at humanity. After that I don't know. Is it God, Allah or Brahma? I believe that the search for the answer to this question is a lifetime project for me. On the intellectual side of it I've read quite a bit of Judeo-Christian texts, studied a lot of Hinduism in college and later have delved into Taoism and other eastern thoughts. I would love to delve into Buddhism but don't know where to start (feel free to suggest anything Swami).

    And as religion cannot all be intellect I'll just say that not all my beliefs are merely based on my intellectual assumptions. Don't get me wrong, I've had no out of body experiences or religious epiphanies. But I do believe that there have been moments in my life that have been spiritual and not something to just be quantified and qualified.
