Doubt

I look at it this way: either you exist or you don’t. I don’t think—in your case—that there’s an in-between, a “sort of” God. And the point seems to be not to think about it or to reason about it. But here’s the thing: If I am to believe in what others say (these others being agents of yours), then I was made by you in your image. And since I am predisposed by nature to question everything, it would seem you wanted it this way. That you are also “this way.” That you sewed into me a weak thread that you hoped would unravel…setting me off-course with respect to you. Now, that’s an odd strategy. But who am I to say. The same one who invented oxygen invented doubt and I guess that sort of variety keeps things moving, which you are a fan of. No doubt about that.
