Hello, encode_decode. I hope that you too are well. I also enjoy our little chats. Perhaps next time I will bring marshmallows and you can build a fire. Do you know how to rub two sticks together to start a fire?
Bring matches, just in case.
Do you want to know something? I thought of an android when I read your first linesâŚjust the way you presented the words. I have kind of a weird mind. Do androids enjoy things? Did Data enjoy things?
I only wish that I was capable of asking tough questions. That would make me a good philosopher, no?
I only said the above because so many use the word God in this sense. Isnât âGodâ too simplistic? But I suppose it works. Everything needs a label, right?
It isnât so clear to me how you are using the word âbelieveâ here. Are you saying that your belief in a God is dependent on the below? Perhaps not ~~ but perhaps so. But all of the below can lead to a clearer estimation of what God may be but without absolute proofâŚif any of that made sense.

It may get in the way, for me, because sometimes thatâs where it all ends.
Me too.
What being âunanswerableâ? The existence of God or of a God which includes every definition that we can give it?
Are you saying that there is a satisfactory answer for the existence of God? One that would give rise to absolute truth and knowledge of this concept which we call a God?
I enjoy garden paths so do not worry about that. I love flowers.
What is the question again?
Why would it be unkind? Iâm agnostic. Iâve already gone through the fire and the purging of doubting and struggling and giving up the concept of a personal God or a God which we make in our own image and likeness.
I kind of enjoy the great mystery of it all and it brings that deep black well closer to me in a sense then I have ever experienced.
Rumi is so so cool!
What boggles my mind is how it could have ever come to be. I do not believe in the OT narration. I continue to be stymied. I am constantly made aware of how picayune my brain is when contemplating this thing called God.
I can sometimes be a likable person but not always. lol That would depend on the circumstances and what is called for. I can, at other times, be a fierce dragon.

You would appear to be a very âaffirmingâ kind of person. The world needs that.
I like Joy too. I actually love Joy. That is the middle name of my daughter because I knew from the first moment I saw her that she would give me great joy ~~ but even when she doesnât lol, she still does.
Nicknaming me Joy would be like calling God âloveâ. Is truth based on impressions and sensations?
But of course. There was a time when I was âRisingâ but I decided to dive into the depths. It all just depends on my inclination.
