The Universe?
Posted Oct 25, 1999
One Sunday, at Church, I asked myself if God really existed and came to my own personal conclusion: yeah...he probably does. This led to
me asking myself the same question that I continually asked my mother when I was younger: if God created the universe, who created God? As a youngster I thought this was a very clever thing to ask. Me, a mere child, picking holes in a well established faith. Of course, the adults were far too mature to consider this as relevant - it was much easier to ignore this kind of question in a quest to maintain their faith.
My point isn't to do with the ignorance of adults towards children. It's more to do with what there was before God. Did the God just suddenly come to be? In that case the universe could just have come into being instead, defeating the purpose of a higher creative force.
Furthermore, if God or the universe have not been around FOREVER, what was there before? Some would suggest nothing. But not just a space that was completely empty, I mean a nothing where not even the empty space existed - absolute nothingness.
This kind of puzzle is way beyond our realm of comprehension. We may (for now?!) have to content ourselves with the fact that there always has and always will be SOMETHING.

Drivel

I just thought of the amount of drivel that'll be posted on the forum.
Particularly after re-reading what I've just wrote.

Think

I'm thinking that I'll be using the word 'think' or one of its derivatives quite a lot while I'm here. I think.

Thinking On The Loo
Posted Oct 14, 1999
Whilst thinking about what to write in my journal and on forums and all the rest of the contemplative stuff on this site, I realised how many ideas I've thought up whilst sitting on the toilet. I think I'll
take a pen with me the next time I go for a dump so I can jot down what I think about. It might make for interesting post-excretory analysis.
