What do you believe in?

    I overheard a statement recently that sums up things for me: "Im more spiritual than religious", meaning I dont have to go to mass weekly to affirm that there is something there.

    Is it a higher power? A God? An architect ala the Matrix? (its been proven by a few that there's a mathematical equation to the ebb and flow of the universe, technology keeps doubling its capacity and RAM every few years, so are we part of a game?)



    or something else?

    I believe that when you die you are gone forever. I still do the whole 'treat others as you want to be treated' thing though because its nice to be nice.

    I can't help but think religious people are like kids believing in santa, especially in this day and age but I'm not going to try convert them to my way of thinking because that's ignorant.

    So, if God has existed forever...you know, what did he do in his spare time, like, before he made the Earth and everything?

    I'm not actually sure. I wouldn't say spiritual, but religion itself.. I've been battling this one out for a while. I used to be highly sceptical that there was a god, but I've softened a bit on the idea. I like to believe that there is something to it, but I don't think I can be part of it as a catholic as I was brought up. I recently spoke with a baptist lady, absolutely lovely person. In not so many words she told me that they use the baptist word as a way of identification but they are non-denominational, and they don't want to be tagged with any specific religious leanings, so to speak. I will get a chance to speak with her again, as I want to know more.


    Out of interest, what do you believe in? Puns and lyrics aside.

    I believe, I believe,
    I believe in wishing wells,
    But I also believe in a lot of things,
    Things the daisy tells,
    I believe, I believe that a four-leaf clover brings,
    Lots of luck, lots of joy, lots of happiness,
    I believe those things.
    And when it's christmas time I believe in santa claus,
    Why do I believe, I guess that I believe because
    I believe, I believe,
    I believe that dreams come true,
    If you wish for a dream by a wishing well,
    Don't tell your wish or you'll break the spell,
    It may sound naive, but that's what I believe.

    He was drawing up the plans on the universe, that shit don't design itself.
