Wonderful poem. The juxtaposition of faith and internal question, nicely done. Who does a scientist go to with the big questions?

Busy Buzzy Bee 'Gather Proud Mamarazzi' Jul 19, 2012, 3:23pm UTC

Dear Stirling,I was always inquisitive to know the sharp dull questions related to this. Much thanks for the appreciation.

Oddly, I was thinking about this today. An a-theist is one who doesn't believe in a deity. But what if the God force is much more than our personalizations of what we think of as a deity/God? in that case, atheism could perhaps also encompass that idea? I'm not sure, but it's interesting to think about.

(No, I don't call myself an atheist.)

Alison H. Jul 19, 2012, 11:35pm UTC

A thought-provoking poem!

Granny Janny Jul 20, 2012, 1:19am UTC

And a very thought provoking comment. You have created questions with this cryptic poem, dear Buzzy!

Busy Buzzy Bee 'Gather Proud Mamarazzi' Jul 20, 2012, 1:25pm UTC

Hi Dear Alison
whole night I kept thinking what to answer for your questions and I found myself missing:) seems now I got the backbone of this poem.much thanks.Thanksgiving prayers can be performed by any athiest, too.

Busy Buzzy Bee 'Gather Proud Mamarazzi' Jul 20, 2012, 1:25pm UTC

thanks, Dear Jan.lovely adjective to my poem.I feel so good.

Alison H. Jul 21, 2012, 12:22pm UTC

:-) If an atheist performs prayers, wouldn't that make him/her an agnostic?

Busy Buzzy Bee 'Gather Proud Mamarazzi' Aug 30, 2012, 9:46am UTC

sounds funny but in other way it's a serious debate in India. Iwill discuss it someother time, Alison :-)

Scientists have many different ways of dealing with this conundrum. I imagine Carl Sagan's Varieties of Scientific Experience will be instructive when I get around to reading it. Another one I have read is The View From The Center of the Universe by Primack and Abrams. Another one (not read yet) Is God A Mathematician? By Livio.

Anyway, thanks for playing SunWinks! Delightful read, oxymorons.

Busy Buzzy Bee 'Gather Proud Mamarazzi' Jul 21, 2012, 6:23pm UTC

God is a mathematician sounds very interesting.I didn't read anybooks on this subject but went through many articles related to research papers, something like that. Your prompts forced me to write one and this way I started looking for more books on this.Much thanks,Doug .I enjoyed it.

Doug Westberg Jul 21, 2012, 6:28pm UTC

Come back anytime!

Busy Buzzy Bee 'Gather Proud Mamarazzi' Aug 30, 2012, 9:47am UTC

Hiya Doug, back from India after a very long trip :-)

Robert Heinlein, author of, Stranger in a Strange Land, gave his protagonist a philosophy that I embrace. "Thou art G-d." Meaning G-d is in all of us. I find compartmented religion claustrophobic.

This is a touching and beautiful poem that reaches into my own beliefs. Perhaps your father is like me, I am a, "Just in Case Jew." When the need arises, I pray, just in case.

Busy Buzzy Bee 'Gather Proud Mamarazzi' Aug 30, 2012, 9:50am UTC

It's hard portraying my beliefs without itching others but so glad Dave, that it went smooth without curbing anyone's emotions.Much thanks.Your views reflect in your writings.

After rereading this lovely flow of verse, I was wondering if your poem not a metaphor for human nature only thinking of doing things their way as much as possible, but then realizing the communication breakdown cannot be shared as fault, but as a sacrifice for continual love.

Busy Buzzy Bee 'Gather Proud Mamarazzi' Aug 30, 2012, 9:52am UTC

that continual love itself is a prayer but not with that name given.Thanks William.
