H'chu apenkee, o'grandio lust.

Today, I'm going to talk about the theory of an artificial god. (This might not be very long, but I'll update it when I can find my book about it. )

Douglas Adams, famed writer of the hitchhiker guide to the galaxy, is an atheist. However, he represented a really eccentric the other day that I found interesting. (Okay, so 5 years ago isn't really the other day. Work with me here.) Douglas Adams said that life is a huuuuuuuge category. Which is true. Anything that includes human beings and bacteria too small to see with the human eye has got to be a pretty broad category. He compared life to the letter a. The example he used was this: If you write an a, you could have really bad handwriting and make it look somewhat like a d. However, if you are writing the word apple, obviously people are going to see that you mean apple, even if you wrote dpple.

The theory of an artificial god is that since life can only be defined if it has a context, if it has a purpose. Therefore, man had to have a god, because without god how can we define life.

I do not agree with this theory. Faith is neccessary for human happiness, not human science. Without some sort of faith, humans lose sight of what they are. Without faith people forget their principles and their morals. It is my strong opinion that without faith, the world would fall to pieces. Without faith in their government, other people, and god, anarchy and chaos would rule over the Earth, with the majority of people having no reason to respect human life and dignity. This is because respect comes from faith. Only when you put your faith in a person, government or religion can you truly respect other people.

Goopta mo bossa!
