Oh, Donnie.

"I don't even debate it anymore. It's just absurd."
"The search for God is absurd?"

Maybe it is. What people don't seem to realize is that God...is an idea. An idea perfectly fashioned BY human nature FOR human nature so that maybe...just maybe...there might be a justifiable reason not to live out one's days in unconscionable and egregious apathy. The idea is there. I'm not talking about your littered-with-illogicalities traditional christian He-Thee-Thou, no. We will not lower our understanding to idolatrous nincompoopery (the best word ever) here. Maybe this God is not a figure. Not a man. Not a being of any kind. Consider things which provoke ambition, sentiment, that raw feeling presented when one knows there is a purpose worthy of any pursuit. The emotion present when we realize that we have just found a reason. Maybe music is God. Or love is God. Rain is God. PEOPLE are God. Right now think about a reason why you should live life to its full extent. Maybe that is part of your God.

Stick with me here.
