A Brief Encounter with a Christian Under the Stars

19. From this:

"You don't have to believe in a God of a human religion to seriously consider that forces in the universe figured out how to create life, purpose, consciousness, justice, and love long before the Earth was around and that there is a drive or purpose to manifest these things here and elsewhere."

Forces in the universe figured out? Long before earth was around?

That's the exact same appeal to the divine/supernatural as creator that you'd hear in the worst fundamentalist church.

You may not be a religious person, but the views you express abive show how deeply you have been influenced by religious thought.
