Someone asked me how I could believe in a higher power and not believe in “God”.
Conversation as follows.
Me: Name something you’re good at.
Him: Drawing.
Me: Name someone better than you.
Him: You.
Me: Name someone better than me.
Him: Edward Aldrich.
Me: Name someone better than him.
Him: I dunno, Van Gogh?
Me: And then there’s someone better than him, and then better than that person. These people are going to be better than other people at other things, too. Eventually, you’ll come across someone who’s better than everyone else at everything. That is the higher power, though he would not be the Christian God, or Muslim Alah, or any other idea of God.
