I was having a conversation with a friend of mine not too long ago, and he was relating to me a study he’d recently heard about. According to my friend, 25% of Americans believe in a higher something other than one of the variations of “God” taught by the prevalent organized religions of today. Pardon the quotation marks, and for that matter, if you’re an orthodox Jew, pardon the o.
So, if you’re in that 25%, and lord knows what the percentage is world-wise, but if you’re in that 25%, or have ever thought about being in that 25%, or are vaguely interested in any way about any of those crazy enough to be either in that 25% or think they might want to be in that 25%, you’ve come to the right place. Of course, as far as I’m concerned, you had no choice but to come to the right place anyway, the real question is what are you going to do here now that you’ve arrived?
So, since the topic is something potentially quite big, I’m going to try to keep it simple for my maiden posting. If G-d aint the variation on him that the bigger religions keep getting angry over, what is GOD, if that’s a term that should even be applicable to whatever it is that we’re talking about that we can’t quite pinpoint, but probably agree seems like something bigger than we are, and probably, or at least maybe, also has a method to whatever it is?
I’m going to posture this as a definition: EVERYTHING.
TTFN

ooh how exciting! i can’t wait to read later posts!
I cant find the specific article. But I found one from 2009 that says it was 15% back then. SO thats good.
[…] any data to point to what my friend might have been talking about. I found THIS, and THIS, since then. Interesting […]
