Or - so to speak - we perceive only the tip of the cosmic iceberg..
This is not not agrue with anyone, or prove or disprove anything - but simply sharing my innermost feelings and experiences - the essence of my life.
I shall die one day, and everyone will, no matter what they believe or do not believe. An atheist would die too someday, so would an agnostic - their 'rational' outlook will not save them from extinction.
What it really comes down to... is this: that we really do not know much, neither are we *aware of* much. The cosmos - the 'BOX' inside which we have been placed and masterfully integrated - seems to lend us only a fraction of its true beauty and grandness - ...not to say the exact mechanism by which it is held up in its place.

You just went on and on about how little we know and then you pretend to know how the cosmos was constructed? When we use our intuition for something that it had not evolved for it will be wrong most of the time.

Are you explaining to us some newer methods for committing suicide?
No. Just reminding you that space is full of horror. Like this monstrosity that greets us every day.
You might find bigger ones in the street - behind your shoulders. Way bigger

We all know that a lot of guys can be a bit... Blunt sometimes. Not very romantic.Some on the other hand are really sweet. But for some strange reason, most girls (me included) tend to not like the overly sweet guys. (Yeah we're not going to make it easy for them) For me what really swipes me off...

The weirdest insult I can remember getting was in a Denny's cafe. My friends and I were hanging out drinking coffee and putting off going home as late as we could. We had one of those big booths that sit a good sized group. We were minding our own business sharing a piece of sinful chocolate cake...

People were spreading rumors about me in my church, alleging that I was having an affair with a married woman. I confronted them about it, but they lied and said they weren't spreading them. They said they only heard the rumors but didn't believe them. Time and other people that heard the rumors...
