Not enough nights to feel that it's tangible.

I really don't feel like taking the time to go through all the lists of things that make me think that I believe there is some form of god out there. The only thing I can say without putting in much effort is just pondering the scope of the universe and all the inner workings. (Whether you want to say that it does nothing to support the existance of a god or not). Maybe you personally think that in and of itself isn't enough to seriously make you think but it does for me. It's one thing to say we haven't figured out how DNA works completely, or we haven't documented all the animals on the planet... but it is a billion times more profound when you take into consider the sheer scope of the universe and just the "little" amount of things that we know about it. There are many things that are far more simple that still makes me believe that they are so unbelievable that there probably is something behind all of this. Whether it is or isn't a god is besides the point, I've already said numerous times that I don't believe in one thing or the other. Like I said I just don't feel comfortable believing in either side for the time being. I guess I keep throwing the word god out there like that is exactly what I think... that's not exactly what I mean. I mean more that there is something behind all this, be it a computer program and this is all just some code.. or a god, or whatever else you can come up with. I just don't personally feel that this life is just happenstance.

Also I said exactly what you said in your first sentence. I've already mentioned numerous times that faith is effective at helping people through crisis. However I wouldn't consider it "blind" faith. Believing blindly in a god is one thing but there are certainly other things that various religions are based on that are tangible. The basic concepts can help you through difficult situations as well. Putting your hope into something isn't necessarily blind faith either at least in my opinion. I suppose it depends how its used.. if you believe to the very core of your soul that something is true, I wouldn't just call it blind faith. Although I certainly understand what you mean.

Edit: I saw your post but I was busy typing this long ass reply lol. Sorry it took so long.

Nuff' said. I'm joking but still things like that make you wonder.

Oh okay. That changes my idea of what you were saying a little bit. I would have been totally on board with that at one point, and I still am to an extent. Acceptance of the fact that our knowledge of the world around us is hilariously limited, and also that the world/life is mind bendingly remarkable are two pretty central facets of my beliefs.

Haha, those pictures are awesome. If you really like naturey stuff like that and you're in the neighborhood for something to read, I think you would really enjoy The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. I wish I had read it years ago. He explains how complex life developed from nonliving particles by using incredibly simple analogies and it rules. There's a really cool part about the formation of crystals and how they relate to living organisms.

I'll have to check it out sometime.

I try not to get in depth with trying to comprehend and understand things at this point in my life. I have too many mental and physical issues going on for me to effectively ponder something of that magnitude. I have brief moments where I let my mind wonder but I try not to spend too much time on it. I certainly plan to in the future though.

I tried my legs, blood encrusted beneath my shredded trousers. The greater my sense of diquite became. Religion, the well spring of wonders and horrors, vomited up from sinister gulfs. The gate of some strange current, unnavigatable except by madmen and wayfarers.
