Hold a tick! Chew on this…

If rock's got no reason, and rock got no rhyme
Does life drift in the same line?
Are we dancing to the rhythm of a pointless beat?

Are we, fleeting creatures of chance and opportunities that we are made to be,
just a speck of an insignificant race of beings that have no bearings on the way the vast expanse of the universe is heading?
Are we a part of this doomed brigade, destined to be wiped off, evolved to eventually die off, programmed to fail and to eventually fade into oblivion as time wears on and stars burn out their light……..

Is there no larger plan-why we should strive to become ‘proper’individuals?
And our thinking process - consciousness …is it just a matter of nerve impulses and neural transmissions- hormones and chemicals deciding our moods, our decisions-presiding over our conscience --how we respond to the invitation of providence a matter of neural electrical transmissions; impulses as information flowing along the pathways of our system-polarization and depolarization of our nervous membrane by charged, soulless ions all having a consequence on the polarization of our ideas and beliefs……….

Or do we blank out all of these possibilities and give an alternative explanation with a single word; discard them as blasphemous ignorance and cite one word as our answer- Religion ?

It's not necessarily one without the other... Our minds and bodies were created to do what they do by God. God created that which we base science upon, but science alone won't ever get the complete picture.

And personally, the word "Religion" makes my hair stand on end. I don't see my faith in Jesus as "religion", even though it would be classified as such.

The fact is, it's not about rites and rules, it's about a fabulous, terrifying, exhilirating, challenging, joyful relationship with a God who created the Universe, yet cares incredibly much about little old me, and you, and each and every person.

Hey!
Very interesting! Dropped in thru Codey's page and Delhi Diaries brings back memories of delhi! Loved "our thinking process - consciousness …is it just a matter of nerve impulses and neural transmissions- hormones and chemicals deciding our moods..." I think abt that all the time, but not with those words. I WATCH people and how they react to strange things in their lives. its my great sociological experiment that keeps me frm boredom ;)
