That… that was glorious. And downright poetic. I read the entire thing out loud, I should know. Amazing.
THANK you.
I know, it is indeed like an unintentional poem. Almost strengthens the already somewhat strong deistic tendencies in me, it does.
Well, a quick dictionary-check of “deism” (it seemed appropriate) says it’s belief in God through reason, not revelation, and I have to say – this looks pretty revelation-like to me.
True, but I don’t believe any creator can resist the temptation to sign his creation, no matter how rationalistic, and this seems a subtle enough signature for a Deistic deity.
If it was truly a Deistic deity’s signature, an aberration like “unsane” would not be in it.
Well, that’s a relief, then. I can once again swathe myself in my mantle of staunch agnostic atheism.
If you have to add “agnostic” in front of your atheism, there’s hardly anything staunch about it.
I guess you’re right. But being a staunch anything is rarely particularly cool in any event, so I can live with that.
Being a staunch bastard is pretty nifty.
I’ll believe it if you say so.
I speak of staunch experience.
That was my assumption, yes.
Staunch assumptions, or just assumptions?
This post reminded me of this, which is its own kind of awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Etjd0lEpkk&NR=1
It was a just assumption, I thought. Justified, in the very least.
Funny.
