BBella\'s Universe (Introduction)

Honestly, I don't think any of us are as far apart in this as it may seem on the surface of things, differing merely in degrees and background ideologies. The idea of the Judeo-Christian God, while powerful in my childhood, mellowed as I matured into a less polarized form. I have a really hard time expressing it, usually, and I graciously admit that David, DHW, and BBella are much more eloquent in their presentations.

Whether we talk about DHW's non-sentient positive creative force, David's UI of intellect and emotion, BBella's ALL THAT IS of Love, or my own mad inane ramblings and unrecognizable mash-up of various religions, philosophies, science, energies and oregano with a hint of garlic, the more I learn the less I can doubt that there is an underlying commonality, a unifying force, a connecting web that encompasses all of existence.

As for DHW's unfeeling non-sentient rock, I only can point to the fact that the same elements and energies that make up that non-sentient also make up your very sentient self, and that when we die, our elements and energies will in turn become non-sentient rocks, or part of non-sentient trees, or perhaps even part of a sentient ostrich who, much like humans, buries its head in the sand at the first sign of distress.

DHW, to your last comment I can only ask that, if we are journeying together, you pack light and leave the road maps at home. Oh, and don't forget the whiskey. You might need something to take the edge off by the time its all said and done. :P

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
