b) shit exists, you do evil, as a kid cruelty towards animals gave you pleasure, you harm others on a regular basis when they, for example, bore you. What is more, good needs evil, a virtue lives on a vice, as Leibniz said "if there would be no evil, God would not exist" so just obeying 10 commandments is not in accord with the Universe. With only good citizens there would be no good anymore, as there would be no distinction, between good and evil.
c) when you are in the process of considering abstract never ending love, there is no place for passion, emotions, laughter, awe, curiosity, fascination, bodily feelings of cold and warmth, basically nothing of earth's (created by God) constituents.
Don't take me wrong, I am not saying that there is no need in us for never ending love, it's the strongest need. And nobody is an atheist while falling down from a high building. I just let myself make an observation, that making an assumption (as big religions do) that the world is nothing more nothing less than what we need put to sleep your cravings and suddenly working hard, eating, sleeping and looping your mind with prayes is the best possible lifestyle. Fun? What are you talking about? Could you elaborate on it
“Fiction is one of the few experiences where loneliness can be both confronted and relieved. Drugs, movies where stuff blows up, loud parties -- all these chase away loneliness by making me forget my name's Dave and I live in a one-by-one box of bone no other party can penetrate or know. Fiction, poetry, music, really deep serious sex, and, in various ways, religion -- these are the places (for me) where loneliness is countenanced (znosić,przyzwalać), stared down (zmusić do odwrócenia wzroku), transfigured (przeobrażona), treated.”
Religion in what ways? Being in a place with pointy roof where you and some of the folks around focus all available energy on never ending love, how does it feel?
