OT: Are you interested in god?


i'm not talking about religion. but some people go on and on about god and how they are curious about whether god exists. i have never been curious about the answer or the question. god does not interest me at all. i'm not an atheist. im simply indifferent to this question. the fact that i would think twice before committing any evil is due to conditioning and doesn't have anything to do with god. could it be because my family never told me about god? i was asked to pray to god before going to sleep when i was a kid. but i discontinued the practice when i entered my early teens. and nobody admonished me for it.

however, like muriel spark said, if the plane i was on was about to crash i would call for god (even if i'm an atheist). or atleast i think i would.

anyway, are any of you interested in god? if yes, why?

ps: this post was inspired by a reading of GRAHAM GREENE's THE END OF THE AFFAIR. while i enjoyed the book, i couldn't really understand why the characters were continuously conversing with god.

I get melancholy if I don't write. I need the company of people who don't exist

Love through fear, the essence of sadomasochism, as Christopher Hitchens once memorably put it.
