This blog has seen no new posts for the past three and a half months. I would like to attribute this to the fact that I have had nothing to write about.
The reason why I have had nothing to write about is, in case you haven't noticed, that my blog posts have been progressively more and more serious and profound. My first posts were jokes (literally), but I eventually began to write about trends in education, sociology, science, and, finally, religion.
My latest post, which required the reader to choose between a belief in God and a belief in a total lack of human conscious control over anything, was probably the most profound thought that has ever entered my mind. I made the claim that any atheist must believe that every universal occurrence is the result of a certain molecular interaction and that these interactions will occur in a given way, no matter what. Therefore, atheists believe that no matter what, we will make the same decisions and the outcome of the world will be the same; whether or not this is true, I doubt that most atheists realize that by claiming that there is no supernatural power in the world, they are stating that there is no form of "human" control over the world.
I found it difficult to write something more profound than this. Therefore, I just wrote nothing. Starting today, I will start writing again... regardless of how deep of an issue I am writing about.
