I also used to be an atheist. Then i saw the light. It happened one day while I was working in the garden, reflecting on who draws the line, and somehow this thought carried me all the back to when the universe was perfect and unchanging. Then something broke the symmetry. The first line was drawn. There was now this side and that, night and day, up and down, left and right. You still have to choose where you put your own mark.

Your response interests me... if you’d like I’d be interested in hearing more.. lemme know.
Julian of Norwich "saw heaven in a single point". Freedom, choice, infinity, there's a lot to talk about.
when was that, exactly?
I don't really know. It may always have been like this. The point is that none of us have answers for these things.
