I thought I was an atheist after dropping out of the Mormon church at age 18.

Got me into reading the bible again. It's an odd book in many ways, I never have been down with the 'Ev-very word in the bible is the revealed word of God-duh!' routine.

But there is good food for thought there IMO.

I suppose the beauty of humanity is our vast differences, resulting in our survival. In the end none of what we say, think, believe, or dream will matter... all trivialities. I can only end on the words of Leonard Nimoy... "Pure Energy."
(Oh damn, now I need to go listen to that song!)

What's on your mind... PURE ENERGY
