Hi All,

Work is a bit slow at the moment, and last night I went out and got compeletely slaughtered. This morning I woke up with the corresponding 'Muther of a Hangover' but it didn't hurt, and the reason why it didn't hurt is because I had two of the most beautiful thoughts, one of which I knew I had to share with you ;)

Now that I've worked out where I was and done the necessary to get to my computer, here goes...

: ... if there is a God, it sure as hell is not a 5.

You're right Liz, and the reason why you're right is because God cannot think and therefore will not be a 5.

The reason why God cannot think stems from the definition of God as a perfect being. Such a being would have a perfect knowledge. Thinking is the process which humans use to arrange and rearrange our knowledge into different (hopefully better) configurations and try to draw conclusions from the process etc.

Such an excercise for the perfect being would result in another configuration of knowledge, also perfect, and hence equivalent to the first. Also, any conclusions drawn would already be known, so, why do it? The answer, It doesn't.

I love being imperfect!

Laters, (I've got a hangover to cure)

Matt
