    • lol, of course you domonospaced
    • so you prefer to give up learning about reality in favor of chalking it up to a “god,” and call that intelligent, live your truthmonospaced
    • just as much as no one knows where a possible god comes from, we can't possibly know what happened before the singularity. it could be a god, just unlikely theephix
    • god of the bible.ephix
