The green thing, that was just a starting point for a bit of philosophical discussion, which we did but it seems to have reached some sort of inconclusive conclusion.

An inconclusive conclusion.

Interesting turn of phrase that. It's sort of how I feel about religions in general and where the inconclusive bits are, that is where they call for faith. Many religious people would say that I lack faith and in some ways that is true. As I have said before, unless I can gather enough evidence for an idea to either prove or disprove it conclusively I tend to remain open minded rather than follow along just on faith.

Then again, we all live in faith these days. I have faith that I will get paid for my work and my landlord has faith that I will pay the rent. I also have faith that the banks will stay open and my money will be available when I need it, as does everyone else. If we didn't, the whole financial system might collapse. So we live in faith every day, even if it is not faith in the existence of a super-natural being.
