So I was thinking about this comment Ham made about "divinity's plan" and I realized that my only experience of any thing like a divinity's plan in my life has been it has always been divinity's plan to keep me guessing as to whether there is divinity.
Or a plan. "Keep 'em guessing" doesn't seem like much of a plan, but from what I can figure out, that seems to be the substance. But then, Keep 'Em Guessing is Being, if I'm understanding my existentialism right. And while that wouldn't have been enough for me in my younger years, these days it seems just right. Keep guessing till the end, is my guess of divinity's plan. Some people seek their certainty in randomness. Others in theological formulations of various stripe. Any such, when taken as an ultimate answer is false exactly because any answer being ultimate is a falsehood. So while the MoQ cannot be atheistic, in this very important regard, it MUST be anti-theistic. Nothing pisses God off like being intellectually captured. While mulling such things at work a Dan Bern song<http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=8454978>came on the radio station I like to listen to, and it reminded me why I like Dan so much, and it seemed to me that Dan's a pretty existential guy too so I figured I'd share it with you. This particular song is not by Dan, who's version I like better but the only versions of dan's on youtube had such cheesily unappetizing videos I couldn't stomache posting them. And thanks again Ham, for triggering these thoughts.
