“Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.”
Pope John Paul II
I am sure writing is a mental illness. One that causes words to generate in your brain, gathering speed, ricocheting until they are let out where others can see them. A witness to the craziness. It isn’t important that they make sense only that they are available to others. Even if there is only one other, even if that one is God, taking time from his golf game long enough to see what his creations are up to today.
I wonder if God is able to laugh at himself while he is smiling at us. I know that many religions have taught us guilt by promising a punishing vengeful God. Come on people how could a being capable of all of creation from the big bang to Quantum mechanics to the platypus be such a small and petty entity. Well the answer for anyone of any intelligence is, it’s not possible I think that we just imply all of our own human frailties on our creator.
Do I believe that the earth is only 4000 years old, and it was created in seven days, no? Do I believe that it is possible that an entity a lot greater than us helped us along the way? No problem. I had this argument with my grade eight science teacher that was happy to teach us that life was created by a spark in the primordial ooze. So I asked him then ” but who sent the spark?”. He had no answer but contemplated the simple words said.
Do I take the Bible at face value, no? It has been altered many times by the religions who really sought to control and enslave. Do I think that some events in the bible are true? Absolutely, but every myth is based on fact, but the facts can be manipulated by those in power. The bible was manipulated by the ones in power at the time. The religions. I was actually amazed that the Catholic church has openly admitted what they have known for centuries that the bible is myth. Like I said.
Do not discount the bible there are many great things said in there. Not all is manipulation.
For me, I don’t think there is a big difference between spirituality and science. Religion that is a whole other thing, Many bad ones out there. Do I think that any one of them is the right answer. Nope. Do I think that are truths hidden in a lot of them, again yes. Is there truths in science yup there too. Our job is to find that connection to something better than us.
These are just my opinions, and I may be completely wrong, find your own truth.
As for the daily stuff, waking was almost comical, zombie shuffle, complete with sounds. Pain everywhere, memory good, dizziness and fatigue not present. No spasmodic jerks, just pain, hard time walking and a few balance incidents. I will have to chainsaw today and chop. I hope to run the generator later but the temp is at the lower limits to run it. I guess we will see.
Still -21 outside and now snowing. Dizziness came back, so did the fatigue. I am running the generator right now the solar batteries are too low. With the cloudy day they are not going to charge today. Usually, -18 or warmer is needed to run the gennie. I have no choice, risk the generator or risk the batteries. The batteries are more expensive to replace. I still need to get my ass out there to chainsaw and chop but there is still wood in the wheelbarrow, so that will be later in the day. That’s it, for now, its 11:54 am
Chainsaw and chop done Wood inside, Jays and chickadees fed. Work done for today.
Still snowing out.
