But it doesn’t mean to live life in fear of one. That’s a c unts trick to put me in fear AND give them my money. In the Roman Catholic religion I was raised in, it also required you telling the git in a frock all your “sins”. Information is power.
There may be a God. I do not know. I’m agnostic.
But organised religion on planet earth is big business and ruins lives as much as heroin or Murdoch.
Now Man City know what it's like to be one up with minutes left and to concede twice in a couple of minutes into stoppage time. Perhaps the work of God?
This age old question is about what a person believes not what science can prove. That's why there are plenty of scientists who find it personally compatible to work within a scientific discipline and also to have a faith.
It's a bit like us believing in QPR; there's no real proof we'll win a game but we'll turn up anyway.
If there is a God and I ever meet him I will have a few questions about how he set things up down here on planet earth... Depeche Mode got it spot on imho!
Some time around 1994ish I was sitting at the bar in the Kings Head, Roehampton approaching the end of my third pint of Kronenburg and was pretty sure I had just had an insight that accounted for at least 75% of the meaning of life!
I failed to write this insight down and by the next morning had of course forgotten, but the feeling of having had that break through lingered for some time afterwards.
If XTC or other participants could try to channel themselves into a similar vein and see what they comes up with I'd be very grateful, because I've been increasingly stumped in the decades since then. I had 2 keema nan for dinner beforehand if that helps.
