The Meaning of Life - According to Me Most people are happy just to live life. Some feel the need to analyse it. I'm one of them. The buttons below link to some of my musings, just in case anyone's interested. Existence Consciousness The Purpose of Life Free Will Identity The Paranormal The majority of humans believe that most of existence occurs after death and that the life after death can be very pleasant or extremely awful depending on what we believe and/or do in this life. If this is true, then living our earthly life the right way is of supreme importance. With a rationale along the lines of Pascal's Wager, I committed to being a Christian and spent many years learning the ins and outs of the religion and doing things that might help me develop the required faith. However, that faith eluded me, maybe because the bible says that faith is a gift from God, not something we can conjure up ourselves, or maybe because I just think too much. M1Religion.com includes some of the articles above plus further thoughts on Life, God and the Eternal. These pictures are links to three more items. |

Videos These pictures are links to some of the videos that I've put onto YouTube. They're not terribly professional or informative, but they do seem to get a few views, mostly, I think, by people who know me, and people who are interested in stroking boobies. |

The links below will be of no interest, except maybe to people in the QAMT or Probus. And finally, a traditional Irish blessing: May the sun shine warmly on your potatoes, and may the rain dribble gently down your neck, until we meet again. |
