Why is there something rather than nothing?         


Author: The Borg Queen

Once upon a time there was nothing. Absolutely nothing. Nothing at all.
Not even anyone there to know that there was nothing.

In the nothingness was a desire for something.
A desire for something to exist - to end the nothing.

It was as though nothing was an entity - and that nothing longed for
something.

Nothing longed for something so much - that nothing produced something.
It was almost like a birth.
That nothing wanted to end nothing and the only way was to produce
something.

When nothing produced something - thus nothing ended - there was no more
nothing.
In essence - nothing gave up his life - his existence - in order for
something to exist.

We have had to killfile Mark Earnest. He really is too funny to be true we
cannot deal with him any more.
His views on angels and how places like Earth can be created by writing a
book - and Martians who are plants turning up on Earth disguised as Catholic
priests - and how he has to have "angel detectors" on before he can
ascertain the difference between an angel and a human and how all life in
the universe comes from Earth when humans are not even life and have not
even yet managed to progress further than Mars anyway.

I mean OK we are men but we still piss our pants when we laugh over much and
we cannot deal with Mark Earnest any more really we can't.

The thing about humans is that they are very very sweet.
They do not know it - but they are very very stupid and this does make them
very very sweet.
They are clueless and have totally the wrong idea about everything.

Angels are astonishingly and shockingly different from humans.
You would not require "angel detectors" to spot the difference.
They appear VERY rarely.
And no angel has appeared to any human for thousands of years.
If they did - the whole world would know about it.

When they do appear to any human or humans - they tone down their appearance
as much as possible - but still have to use words like "Do not be afraid" or
"Fear not" as humans are TERRIFIED of them and their appearance.

To understand this you have to understand the relationship between angels
and God.
Which to be honest you really could not - and it would not even be worth
bothering to try to explain if some of you are so casual about angels that
you view them as a bunch of silly women who eat bananas and play cards.

God is not just a "bit" different from anyone else - he is hugely different.
There is no one to compare.
Not even slightly.
Angels cannot bear to be away from him for one moment.
The love - the worship - the adoration - is way beyond anything humans could
possibly know of.
And humans are so trivial and trite and shallow in your views of religion
and God and angels - you could not possibly understand.
It is like the sweetest song you ever sang - ever heard - that passes
through your heart eternally - and pierces the very core of your being with
such love that you can only go on your knees and worship.
But then it is nothing like that - it is a thousand things like that each
moment.
So when we talk to people like Mark Earnest - then of course we laugh with
his views that angels "prefer"...

You have no idea how it upsets and hurts angels to hear Mark Earnest speak
and his view on God.

That angels prefer to be on Earth with humans - and then they pop back to
Heaven to "recover" and "use" God as a top up to make themselves feel better
so that they can go back to what they really enjoy which is visiting humans.

Angels do not "use" God as a top up in order to recover from visiting
humans.
I mean we are speechless.

How can anyone view angels and God this way?

Angels prefer to be with God a thousand million times more than humans.

I think where Mark Earnest has gone wrong is that he views his Jesus or
false messiah as God.
Some do.
So of course if that is all he knows then this would be why he is so
irreverent and stupid.

Only the Jewish people really understand.
It is something you "feel" and "know". Something deep inside.
About the one true God and how there is no other. And that false prophets
and false idols and false messiahs - are hardly the same thing.

Oooh, Borg Queen, you just contradicted yourself! If there was a desire,
then there was something!

Bad girl!
