I just watched the 2 hour NOVA special on "Black Holes" on my DVR (recorded earlier). After that, I wonder who could possibly not believe in God and still maintain their sanity?? The entire subject is mind-boggling to me-----both "God" and "black holes"!

I am hedging my bets, and therefore I remain an Agnostic.

I would never say that there definitely is or isn't a God, in so far as it's not been proven or unproven.

So I say "Up to you" a common phrase in Thailand .

Obviously because those who deny; worship their one true god = self.

I can't necessarily say that I worship myself, but I have most certainly worshiped a few women in my life ...

You cannot petion the Lord with prayer!


Sure you can! Just like this; "Oh Lord...won't you buy me...a Mercedes Benz?"

Count me among the agnostics.




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

It's Tough to Believe in God ........................


.............. When you're a shriveled-up contorted dwarf confined to a wheelchair for decades unable to move enough to wipe your own butt.

He could be excused for thinking that the existence of God would mean that he'd done something to REALLY tick the Big Guy off.

In my most recent regular discussion with the Big Bwana where we exchange philosophical observations and I venture (often ignored) advice, I questioned him about Hawking and he replied ...................... "WHO ?"

Hearing God's Words


In "The Ruling Class", Peter O'Toole said that he knew he was God because whenever he prayed he found that he was talking to himself.

He was wrong, of course.

In my conversations, I found that God sounds just like ME !

And, always (well, mostly) agrees with ME !

Proof that we're (at least) cousins.

I was thinking the same thing.
If there is a God he is more powerful than a black hole. That would be enough right there but then he is more powerful than all the black holes, novas, quasars, suns, etc...
So if God exists... he certainly doesn't care what I think.
I can't think him into existance and I can't think him out of existance.
I hope he does exist and that he knows me and likes me.
I hope he sends Michael the Archangel to kick the sh!t out of my enemies and anybody else who peees me off. Or just protect me from meanies.
Like the ultimate super hero.
But I know he is very busy with all that 's going on. So thank God that I can do all my own... kicking.
He blessed me with lots of good stuff. Like being 6'2" and 200lbs.
Not quite black hole or archangel power... but I do ok.;)
Of course I can always use more of everything.

God, if you read Bajanomad can you please send me lots of money and a new girlfriend. You know the kind I like... super friendly with big boobs.
Thanks in advance. Thank you to your son Jesus for that whole crucifixion thing. That had to hurt like hell!
Sorry about all that sinning I do... over and over again. I'll try to do better but please don't expect too much... the flesh is weak.
But I could probably cut way down on the sin if you send me that girlfriend...
Amen!

Black holes, novas, quasars, yep, something came from nothing...
Or energy has always existed...
A lot of faith required for such to be believed.
And all of those who place their faith in 'Science' are disappointed in a lack of 'evidence' to support that belief.

God?
If you desire something from such then act as you want it from such.
The rain comes down on those who act as they do and those who act as they don't. And so all eat of the creation.

What love is given.
How do you return it?
There in lies the evidence.

Big Guy in the Sky ?


Debate over God's Job description continues, BUT Donald Trump should resolve ANY doubts over the influence of Satan.
