1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    Sometimes i look around and think, what the hell is this, this "thing" that we exist in.
    Our consciousness has been placed into this relm, but what is this place?
    Sure i know that we have labeled this as the earth , the universe blaa blaa but really, what is it?

    And no, i have not eaten the blue mushrooms - recently.

    Our labels make us feel comfortable and that we have some sort of power over everything, but we don't.
    I think Einstein had it right when he said that the universe is not only stranger than we imagine,
    its stranger than we CAN imagine.

    Our existence IS strange.

    It's all TV.

    God's TV. It's what He watches.

    Doesn't matter. The cosmos is still God's entertainment whether you are an atheist or not.

    That is only your assumption not proven fact. Everything being energy is a verifiable fact.

    Just out of curiosity, which god are you referring to? There are thousands after all.

    What makes you think that you have somehow chosen the correct god to worship and that billions of other people around the world have chosen the wrong one/ones?

    @Intrepid37 your posting is becoming more and more like a troll.

    Keep it up and we will have to part ways...

    Refusing to see other people's points of view as valid is an indicator of troll behavior. Also, NOT answering direct questions is another tell-tale sign.
