It's not curved its not square, there's no beginning, no end, no boundaries.

Same with time. The only constraints are our perceptions, and our science.

My reason for bringing this up is to question the legitimacy of God. Is He God of earth, God of solar system, God of universe, God of infinity?

Or is he God of man and nothing else?
God of everything as I understand it.

I need coffee before I try to hurt my brain this morning.

This thread feels like infinity

Because you think you know everything?

Please do allow those who do not; to continue to search for knowledge...

...there might just be something said to trigger a revelation...

...or maybe not.

More unknowns.

Time measurement is a construct of the white patriarchy...

...no wait a minute.

Okay so "Time" even though it's measurement is a creation of our own, we can still observe it's passage without the aide of a watch.
We try to recognize and figure out the patterns of everything around us so we can navigate it to best benefit our existence.

Space is huge, from where we stand looking, too large for us to know what size or shape it may be.

I'm less interested in that than I am what is in it or what else resides in the space...

...what is hidden from our view.

I know there's something out there and at the same time all around us, I've seen it react in the supposed coincidences that happen often.
Paths opened and those that get blocked, forcing/guiding us in different directions.

It's weird and at the same time exciting and comforting...

...comforting in a we're not really so alone kind of way.


I think maybe it's time to drop some peyote and then ask more questions.

Probably need to be strapped down so I don't go flying off into space though...

...or at least watched over so we don't wander out into traffic while we consider our existence.

There is a Netflix documentary that discusses the vulgarity and necessity of the concept of infinity.

Religion and faith are not the same.
Religion is Man's practice of Faith.

The message is the important part, not the messenger.

How to live/love one another and stay humble at the same time, is not a bad message.

Put a man or government in charge of the details in how it's employed and that's where the trouble begins.

Faith is a belief. Organized religion is a form of control that uses faith to it's advantage.
Faith is knowing unconditionally or at the least working toward that end.
It's a practice.

Religion is a collective of the Faithful.

Wars are fought because of Man's actions.
Religion is used as a scapegoat or red herring.

There will always be conflict and war...

...always, whether the combatants are religious or not...

...all of the combatants will believe in God or a Higher Power.

We are simply bags of electro chemical goo. Nothing more.
I’ve heard we are perfectly made by God. When I went to the bodies exhibit years ago I saw the spine with its 40 miles of nerve endings wrapped around chunks of bone who acted during movement like little Pac Man things just begging to crunch some and ruin your life.
Ill give God a break on this one, cable hadn’t been invented yet.

Well, about three or four neurologists earlier I heard the term primary lateral sclerosis and due to the length of time I've had this Affliction, I'm going to go with that. :biggar:

Attitude is everything.

I can imagine what you're going through.

I've got some function back in my left arm/hand but, still having moments.

It's only been just over three weeks since the surgery though, so it might get even better.

Right foot is still asleep mostly, when it doesn't feeling like someone is trying to pull my toe nails off, fortunately that is rarely.

My hips can move without the lightning strikes though so, not all bad.


Bottom line is that we are not going to last forever.

I've gotten to a point of acceptance with my lot but, I still push as hard as I can.

I've made it just over 36 hours without opiate pain medication but, I'm about to say uncle.


Obstacles and impediments get taller and deeper it seems.

I'm just going to keep smiling and waving, until I can't.
