What's the purpose?
How did that work for you?
It didn't. People don't seem to understand that for me there is no higher power than your conscious brain. A chair? That is asinine and if anyone said that in a meeting I'd walk out.
The human language cannot even begin to describe the world of physics and mathematics when it comes to The Big Question. The likelihood of a theistic God is on par with the idea that our entire universe is but just one particle inside someone else's particle accelerator.
Personally for me, if I had no control I would have smashed my car into a telephone pole with my son in the back seat 2 years ago. 12 pack in the passenger seat, of course.
