The Christian God gives me essentially two choices, heaven
and hell. This walls up good and evil in their separate fortresses, and makes
fear and anxiety the drivers of life choices. I struggle through a life of
oppositions.
If reincarnation is the way of things, that might be an
interesting journey—a raven, a cockroach, a mushroom--since modern science has
shown us that all life forms exist at a nexus in a complex and wonderful web.
In the material world, eternity may not be there for me. But
I know my atoms and molecules will reassemble with others (a micro level love
thy neighbor) according to the unpredictable thrust of evolution. As long as
there are bangs and whimpers in the unfolding of the universe, part of me will
be there.
