I guess that won't come as a shock to anyone reading this. By the way, I am agnostic. I have no opinion on whether God does or doesn't exist, and perhaps He does me the pleasure of having no opinion on whether I do or do not exist.
I've never any religious or spiritual hole in my life. When people talk about feeling His presence, or feeling a spiritual emptiness, I feel like a colorblind man being told about the rainbow.
Even that's not right. I feel like a man being told about rainbows in a universe where there are no colors, and people have only convinced themselves there are colors because it helps them deal with life's difficulties.
I only bring this all up to say I think I fill the spiritual role in my life. As I jokingly tell friends, "I complete myself". In one interpretation of quantum mechanics, humans determine the nature of the universe through observing it. The moon is above us because we see it there, and if we didn't look up at it, it's location would be randomly distributed over a number of possible locations.
So, who's observation trumps the others? My answer: my own. I'm the prime observer. Why do I think this? Because it takes care of my spiritual needs.
Can you tell I've read "Dune" and too many other messianic novels?
