I just spent three hours trying (in vain) to set-up a website using a popular hosting company’s online web-building tool. I was planning to post to my blog tonight, but at the moment I crave sleep.

a dream

posted by adam on 05.26.2006

Last night I dreamt I had a conversation with Satan.
He told me that I have no real answers, only questions. I challenged him by referencing things I know about God, about the universe, about life. But he showed me that these answers, these proofs, only lead to more questions.

the question is stronger than the answer

posted by adam on 05.05.2006

“You are…a follower of a God who demands independence, the exercise of free will, and the exercise of intellect.
“You are supposed to question—to question everything, even the existence of the gods and the purpose of being alive. If you would follow blindly from ritual to ritual, you would be no better than the cattle and […]
