Friday Five
How appropriate.
1. Do you believe in God or a higher power?
Not currently, no, but I'm open to persuasion.
2. Are good and evil just concepts, or real powers in the universe?
Un-knowable, I think. I'd like to believe that there is some karmic balance, but I've never had any proof that it's so.
3. What is your view on forgiveness?
I have no view on forgiveness. Seeking forgiveness is simply attempting to absolve your own guilt and justify your actions, most of the time, but that is your choice, not mine.
4. Do organized religions do more harm than good?
That is the question, isn't it? Organised religion is, for the most part, probably good. Unfortunately, people can use organised religion as an excuse to impose impossible rules upon other people, or do terrible things in the name of their religion.
5. If you had a day to spend playing God, what would you do?
Something good.
Have I mentioned recently how excited I am about pirates?
