@museus@freespeech.firedragonstudios.com @cm @jonpemby @freemo I do not believe in a creator god. I feel that if there is a 'something' that created our universe, it very likely doesn't care about us any more than it does any other part of the whole.
The technology, or ability to create this universe from the smallest to the largest elements is well beyond us at this point in our existence. It is not a totally unknowable, but it is advanced beyond our current knowledge.
We should continue as if there is no creator deity- no judging force.- that dictates to us our days and nights. We should live our lives as if there is no afterlife- because if there is, it certainly doesn't affect us here in the living realm.
Our only duty as living, breathing, feeling, thinking beings is to improve our existence as a species. To advance and create and become more than we are.
So far, we've done a pretty good job. We're not where we could be- anyone can see that- but we're in a better place than we were at the turn of the 20th century. At least, in my opinion.
