Doubt and Answers

The Human sat quietly and thought. For a long time, they had never seen an answer to God's existence. Questions, with no answers, doubt, unfulfilled, permeated their mind.

It was not a pleasant condition, and the Human wanted an answer. They decided that if they could not find one, they would produce one. It would be like this:

Doubt was a very unpleasant condition. Through kindness or mercy, a God as the Human wanted one would not allow, a person to hold doubt when there could be an answer. Therefor, if the Human were to seek an answer, one would be found, or the very lack of an answer a confirmed negative.

Satisfied by this, the Human proceeded. They obtained five dice, and told the potential God what they were about to do, "If you exist, and will do what you may ought, you would answer my question with these dice. I will throw them: if them all land six, I will know you exist - it would end my painful doubt."

The Human threw the dice; they landed randomly. Dissapointed, but content with the answer, the human resumed thinking, now with the question resolved.

Resolved - no more doubt.

So, had God answered the Human in this way, that doubt could be relieved by a confident disbelief, the wish had been answered!
Sunk back in doubt, the Human resumed thinking.

Language (Again)

"We shall never understand one another until we reduce the language to seven words" (1). "Through sense and nonsense, never out nor in" (2), "the beautiful thing is that words aren't necessary" (3). "No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous" (4).
"Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language" (5).

"What one has not experienced, one will never understand in print" (6). "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin -- real life," (7) "so," (8) "drawing on my fine command of the English language, I said nothing." (9)

"Last words are for people who haven't said anything in life." (10)
