Supreme Being?

To think that one supreme being created the chaos that is called life seems impossible. Even if such a thing were true, everything starts with a seed of sorts. That seed has to come from somewhere. Where did the seed itself come from?

I don't profess to believe in God. I do, however, believe there is something out there...a driving force if you will. I believe that most things happen for a reason. Maybe the reasons aren't always to my liking, so I don't attribute them to an amicable being. Sometimes I even refer to what's out there as "fate" or "destiny." These terms don't necessarily require embodiment. They are safer.

I don't know what brought this on tonight. I suppose it has to do with natural disasters, death, and destruction that we've been exposed to for so long. If man was created in the image of God, how is it that man is so fucked up? How is it that we have terrorism and prejudice and discrimination? Actually, that one might be easy to answer. If every man feels that he is supreme, then it follows that all others are inferior.

We won't even get into "free will." Since the origin of life remains largely unanswered, there's no point in taking the argument further. I simply envisioned something better. I suppose there's still hope and that is why optimism exists.

Some days, I just don't get it. But, life goes on...
