(no subject)
As a side-note after putting away the soup, I'd like to say how much I love this little game and things like it: http://www.kongregate.com/games/GregoryWeir/the-majesty-of-colors
I'd like to advance again my theory that god, if such exists, is no more or less a game designer of the largest interactive artwork known, and that choice (even bounded by all that it is bounded by, biologically) is perhaps the greatest game mechanic we could be gifted with.
One more thing I'll say, and this is about the only thing I'll ever say anymore about what I believe metaphysically: I am not William Blake, I do not believe in a necessary separation of architect from an understanding of the things it's creations go through. I do not need that as a lens to reconcile an idea of a god with what people go through on a daily basis. If there's anything that I take away from my mostly-Christian upbringing, anything, it is the hope for a god that understands.
