And we're laying there talking, and I said, you know, I think about why were we created with, you think about the system, all of the systems in our body and the magnificence of it and how everything works together and then all of it, the insects, the birds, and all of this is going on.

Then it can all make sense that, okay, you know, all of this can go on, but the path of kindness will bring peace. you know, it brings a different kind of nourishment. Is that the third version of God, then?
