free will and god poll

I was an atheist for a bit.

Then I tried to think, what hapenned BEFORE the big bang? WTF was there? How come that huge concentration of matter was to explode at T=0?

My brain almost imploded. I can't rationalize that it "all" started at the Big Bang, because then what came before it? If nothing, then how did it come to be? If something, then clearly that something is worth exploring.

Also, if there is a (many?) god(s), then who put them there? How did he/they come to be?

So I guess I'm a bit of an agnostic. The presence or absence of God(s) has absolutely no effect on my life whatsoever. I abide by what I feel are correct morals, which obviously have been influenced by thousands of years of humanity preaching different gods.

Hopefully I never have to find out 'cuz I live forever n all..

you just did a pretty good job of pointing out why the existence of the world as we think of it doesn't make sense. which is why im so interested in the idea that consciousness creates the world (and itself).
