Quote by: Lilith I don't hate God. I have always maintained that I believe that there is something "greater than us", now what that something is, I'm not sure. I beginning to formulate an opinion on that tho. I just find it real hard to believe that there is some literal being that looks like us sitting up in heaven somewhere. You know the "Sky Fairy". "We all return to the One. But where did the One come from?"....hmmm. Fascinating stuff, to be sure. |
That feeling your getting is a natural human desire. That desire is produced from fear of not knowing the macro-questions of philosophy, like why are we here, are we alone, how did the universe begin, etc.
Another reason, IMO, is the food chain. We're at the top, and will always be for a long time. We have no predators besides our own fates we create for ourselves. Someone up there "watching down on us" is a relief to many.
Also, imagine what life would be like if you had a predator, always trying to kill you. Would a powerful being up in the sky really be so important? Think about that for a while.
It's really not so fascinating when you take a step back and look at the big picture. The farther you step back, the more simple things become.
