Darwinism vs The "Recycle Bin" Icon!

I'm meant to be in English, doing a practice exam. Funny how I'm always meant to be somewhere else when I start writing these things...

My take on God/Faith and human needs:
Q:even if there is a god, why should we worship him/her/it?
A:Because she is just sooo damn sexy!

Just to get really deep and meaningful on you all (apologies for this) but I believe in the need for belief. We all need something to believe in. Some find god. Some find the absence of God (like aksarben's view of god - http://www.400monkeys.com/God/). Others have a belief in science showing us the way. Of course, science is just a faith as well (ask Nietzsche, he knows all about it). Still others believe in the absolute mastery of the ferret, or the squirrel, or that majestic creature, the goat. There is a lot we don't know as a species, and the sooner we find out, the sooner I can go back to bed!

And I know it may seem weird, but yes, my mother is catholic, even though she lived in Northern Ireland, and my dad was Protestant (raised in Ireland propper, but moved), but never really believed in God and so professes Atheism. But in Ireland there is no such thing as an Atheist. You are either a Catholic Atheist (someone who doesn't believe and comes from a Catholic family) or are a Protestant Atheist (same deal as before, just swap 'Catholic' for 'Protestant'). I was baptized a Catholic, first communion as a Protestant and Confirmed as an Anglican. I'm sure that each and every version of their God will hate me for this mess.

My limited understanding of the world has led be to believe that the faith of science will ultimately lead to an almost existential or nhillistic view of the universe, that we have no purpose and no reason for being - our lives are pointless, so it doesn't matter if i commit mass genocide or rape little childeren... morality as we know it would go out the window... so I cheat. I cannot accept this, and so hide in the presumed defunct idea of a God, because that way I have purpose, I have meaning, and I can safely ignore the universe until it goes away. Yes, i view it as the easy way out for me, but if i didn't, then the moral and mental dillema would render me a raving psychopath, or just plain stupid.

So there you have it. God. OH, wait...
Why God is a woman...
1. God did more than one thing for each day she made the world. This is called 'being able to multi-task'. Did you ever hear of a MAN multi-tasking?
2. Look at other civilisations, it is always "gaia", MOTHER earth. if God created nature and then stuck man in it, and women are seen as the godesses of nature in ancient civilisations, then it stands to reason that ours is also a female god, as nature came first.
3. It would just explain a whole heap of things...

So THERE you have it. My extensive take(s) on God. See, told you she's great!
