Quoted By:
I believe that reality must have some kind of "origin" or "purpose" in the context of which heaven, hell, good, evil, virtue, sin, etc are just petty convolutions. The closest term for my beliefs might be "deism," though I admit I don't know much about the history of that concept. Ultimately, I'm loyal to the aesthetic and emotional values that have been trained into my bloodline over millennia. I see the universe as deterministic, but moreover as a sort of cosmic artwork. I see the complexity and consistency of the natural world as a cause for celebration and reverence.
