Oh. My. God.

Discussing physics theories, studying for a PhD, or expressing your political views. Nothing makes one feel smarter than expressing their baseless views on religion. Is there a god? Is there an afterlife? Is there free will? Is there a meaning to life? Is global warming real? Is there a monster under your bed? Is your mother lying when she says you look good? Countless questions with millions of reasonable answers.......well, except that last question, we all know that.


So strap yourself up guys, because the prolific writer of blutackbuddy.blogspot.com is going to take you on a 5-part epic saga through his self-validated, self-affirmed views of the world. You may feel your opinions bubbling up, or your disagreement burning out of control. But fret not, my word is the truth. Anyone who disagrees with me will be punished, worse than the time your father flicked your dong for not listening to him.

On a higher power
The age-old question between atheists and the rest of the world - You can't prove that there is no god. No! You can't prove that there is a god either! If there is a god why is there evil? It doesn't matter whether there is a god, be a good person! No! We have to decide if there's a god! Why? So that someone can forgive you for killing your sister's pet hamster? Or so you can find some explanation and solace in how bad you look? Blah, blah blah....

Okay, I promise I'll stop with the ugly jokes soon (Just one more! You can do this!). But in all seriousness, I'm not interested in the philosophical repercussions of there being a higher power. 

Although, if you're deeply entranced by my views on life and must know, I just think that everyone should do good, not just for himself but for society, never regret or doubt, and always challenge the unknown. (Amen?) 

So yes, back to the bold header, is there, a higher power? I believe so. Although not one that is omnibenevolent, but more like, someone playing the Sims, with a really sweet computer (PC master race can I hear a hooyah?).  The classic argument that a being cannot be omnipotent and omniscient while being omnibenevolent, if there is so much suffering in the world.

Ever heard of dimensional theory? The one where the 0th dimension is a dot, 1st dimension - a line, 2nd dimension - a square, 3rd dimension - a cube, etc. We progress between each dimension by multiplying each dimension an infinite number of times, i.e. a line is made of an infinite number of dots. A being in the 2nd dimension, would never be able to see in the third dimension, and a being in the 3rd dimension (us) would never be able to see in higher dimensions.

However, we are still able to look and influence lower dimensions. Like when we draw on a 2D paper image. So that's my theory, our higher power, may very well be some kid, or maybe scientist (if that makes you feel better) in a higher dimension, that is experimenting or playing with us. He doesn't care or know everything happening in this little toy of his, how could he? We ourselves can look at a 2D picture or a dot but not understand what is happening in there.

You may argue that this higher being, could truly be good and benevolent. You could argue that while our higher power could be a kid with a toy, it could also be a well-educated, wise Tibetan monk that knows what he's doing. Perhaps like a skillful Sim player that isn't looking for entertainment, but to create something lovely. You could also argue, that you're not ugly (There! That's the last one!).

However, like I said, my word is the truth, and if you don't agree with me, you're an ass and I'm telling my mommy.
