I was talking about his God... and I'm assuming yours.
Rainman is religious, who woulda thunk.
Let me explain it for that autist brain of yours...
God was created back then... to be perfect in the eyes of those that created him... they created him in a way that proclaimed that we were created in his image (but really he was created in ours... we're really not that special).
Fast forward to now... I don't see the being those ancient goat f*ckers created as being a perfect being, I see it as a vile, narcissistic and highly petty and spiteful monster. Yes... I called it an it. In today's age, we don't assume the gender.
There, rephrased it, hopefully that explains it better.
Well your thoughts are yours, not mine. My opinion, God (or a higher power, whatever you chose it to be) was not created by man. One persons Higher Power (I chose to call it God) may not be the same supreme being you chose or don't chose. It doesn't make mine any better or worse than the other.
Native Americans who you share blood with have their own spirits or supreme beings that they look up to or accept in their life. Buddhists have theirs, Christians have theirs... Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism, Christianity, Taoism, Judaism... all have their own belief in a higher power.
If you boil it down and distill any of these faiths and cast off the extremes... there is a common ground.
On a scientific point of view, yeah physics and numbers can describe the world we live in. Physics and numbers are mans creation. It's our way to make sense of what we see, what we know, how we can describe things in a tangible way in attempts to understand the world around us. The more we learn, the more questions we find and the more we want to figure out what and why. Something is behind those numbers.
What it is, I have no clue. I'm pretty sure us mortals will never find out. Maybe when we die we find the answer. Maybe when we die, we just rot away...
