The popular notion is that this is a ruse designed to "test our faith."<br /><br />To that I say, believe in whatever you choose... but I cannot, in good conscience, prescribe to any God that would intentionally deceive me.<br /><br />Reality is pretty exciting. I wish humans could just enjoy the natural world for all that it is without feeling the need to overlap it, refute it, or re-write it.Hontseur Thotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799765178908406877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307187040250193857.post-26960272745004291192012-02-09T05:05:24.324-08:002012-02-09T05:05:24.324-08:00The ring thing really is way cool!The ring thing really is way cool!E.
