And squirrel, thats not a metaphore. So, you don't believe in God, thats still a belief, isn't it?

My religious beliefs hung around me like the cold mist at dawn that mystifies everything and yet makes all exceptionally beautiful...

I was lost walking back to my Cabin in the woods. My feet were starting to freeze in the snow. The wind was howling and the twilight
was fading into night. I knew if I didn't find the cabin before dark, I would freeze. I prayed as I continued searching...
Then, I spotted it in the distance! I was so relieved. I knew I would be OK. Nothing around me had changed. My feet were still freezing, the wind was still cold, and it was still getting darker. There was not yet a reason to relax and feel comfortable. But I could see the way home and that made all the difference in the world.

The universe is the product of a retarded ant trying to carry food back to its ant hill along the walls of a maze built for mice, there is a pattern by which it changes based upon simple rules, but to the inhabitants the changes created by the pheremone trail of this ant seem complicated and mysterious, growing far more complex, but ultimately revealing the pattern through which it develops as time goes on.
That was as colorful as I could summon up on such short notice.... >.>

A vast desert where some pray for rain, while other roll up their sleeves and dig a well. When the well is finished, those who did not work on throw their hands in the air and say, "The gods have answered our prayers!" and are promptly smacked with a shovel.

argh someone else did a poem
need more time to think
*puts literacy hat on*
ok here goes, sorry had to go away and do stuff
anyway
Stranger than Alice and her friends having tea
the rocks I was throwing kept hitting me
stranded in theories, with no fixed abode
no compass, no maps, only a two way road
but there in the middle, there sits a tree
with lots of branches that talk to me
with their combined wisdom of what they know
I'm happy to stay here, and watch that tree grow

One of my principle religious beliefs is that there is such a thing as Truth.
And I believe Truth is PLEOCHROIC. (If you've ever seen a fine Alexandrite gemstone, you'll understand). It shows different colors and shades when you look at it in different light or from different angles. It must be examined and contemplated from many perspectives and in many different lights to truly be understood and appreciated.
(Can't think of anything more colorful than being pleochroic).

I don't have a belief, but my knowing is like an early morning sea fret, damp and hazy, as subtle as gossamer and just as easily blown away by the caress of Maya.

if there was a mile high mountain of granite, and every thousand years a blackbird flew by and brushed it with a feather, the time it took for the mountain to wear down would be but a fraction of a second
