    And, of course, it's silly because you'd obviously break your vow if the necessity arose.

    1. It was most certainly not a fit of pique.
    2. It was only partially the immigration incident. The straw that broke the proverbial was being ina bar showing the local college football game on TV. Grown men whooping and high-fiving about a school gay rugby match. And the fúcking Blue Angels did a flyby. Wánkers.
    3. If, by necessity, you refer to the exigences of business, certainly I would. Of what use are vows, honour, pride or dignity in business?

    Hmmm. It does sound a bit piquey, though.

    Still, it's good to know that, were your glw there on business and - say - kidnapped by Appalachian Mountain Men, you would not allow your grumpy huff to get in the way of you going there to rescue her.

    Why must you be so rude, h? Why? It's like some sort of compulsion.

    Who, or what, might a 'ya' be? Odious fellow.

    So the answer is obviously God.

    Both you and Richard Dawkins can push that up your shítters.
    Actually, if you keep going in one direction you end up back where you started {in space, but not in time, obv.}

    You're right about God, though. Various different elements from myriad different dying stars form into complex molecules here and start self-replicating. That's weird enough. But even if we then have unicellular lifeforms in the sea, the idea that we just end up with our level of consciousness simply by accident is patently nonsense.

    'Course Shiva set it all up. Our consciousness is just Shiva opening His third eye as a means of understanding Himself. Otherwise you could break into a school science Lab on a Friday night, mix up a few chemicals and leave them over a low bunsen, and you'd have weird talking amoebae by Monday morning.

    The universe is going up in value so he doesn't need to do anything with it. Like property oligarchs in London, He's going to sell it off to another god in a few billion years time.

    You realise that the worship of these false idols makes Jesus sad, don't you?

    One of your better posts, if you don't mind me being a slightly patronising cùnt.

    Consciousness is really weird, when you start thinking about it. And the more you think about it the weirder it can feel, especially if you hit that meta-self-analytical spiral. Like, maaan. Your Shiva explanation could be seductively comforting - were I not to snap out of it and remember I'm actually a hard-nosed materialist who has put childish notions of Supreme Beings behind me.
