I got an email from a friend today. One of those annoying ones with a million questions for you to fill out about the person that sent it to you. I normally ignore them. But since the person that sent it to me was pretty cool I thought I'd do it. Now imagine my utter delight when question FOUR (that's right, pretty high up the list) said "Do I believe in God?"

Hehe, the God's if they did exist, were with me then. So, since I know you all love this topic, and I myself have found it to be a great topic of discussion to lose friends by, I bring to you my whirlwind answer to the question:

Do I believe in God?

I don't know if you do or not, i suspect your one of those who does, but yet doesn't really believe in organised religion. Which is exactly the attitude you should have because i have undergone something of a 'spiritual' journey since i went to the hotbed of white Christian hatred... America - and i have decided that God simply does not exist. The problem is I can't prove to you that he doesn't. In fact - all i can prove is that at the beginning of time - something must have existed - but that thing co uld quite easily have been a spec of dust as it could of been an all mighty God. (and if it was a God - thankfully it can be nothing like the Christian god). The best analogy i have ever heard (and one that quite conveniently side steps logic) is that God to us is like the chef to the pancake. While he made us - we are so totally different we have no way of understanding. which while is a nice philosophical trick. is nothing more. personally i despise organised religion because the torah, bible and the Koran, far from being enlightened texts, are, in my opinion nothing more than reams of seething hatred that promote distrust and suspicion between human beings. By attending an organised church i believe you are guilty of murder, theft and rape simply by association. I may put a fiver in the plate as it is passed round - £4 of that might go to housing homeless cats. But £1 of it will go to campaigning against the rights of woman’s and gays. Going to church, in my opinion, is like working in the admin department of Nazi Germany. While you yourself are not killing anyone, you are supporting a structure that is. So there.

I know your all bored of this now. But I find nothing else fires the passions of hatred in my veins more than the sign of that accursed cross.

But cheer up, I'm not all that bad. I just bought the best of Roy Orbison.
