At the time of writing, I have absolutely no idea how to describe the universe that we live in. I only know that the best attempts to describe the universe, those that I’ve read about at least, cannot possibly be correct. I admit that I currently know nothing about super string theory and that in fact all I know about it is that it is an attempt to unify Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and Quantum mechanics. This indicates strongly that both the General Theory of Relativity and Quantum mechanics are wrong. Further, since I also know absolutely nothing (or precious little) about the standard model of particle physics, I have absolutely no hope, at the time of writing, of explaining how, exactly, the universe works. So I shall not attempt to do so now, save a few general observations.
I discovered, on an aeroplane on the way to New York (to see my brother), a couple of verses in the bible that hint at the construction of the fabric of existence. It is not necessarily esoteric knowledge and I am happy to share these things with you. At the time of writing, although I would like to solve the problem of the nature of the workings of the universe, I have absolutely no idea if I will ever do it and, if you happen to read this before I do, I wish you all the best of luck in this endeavour. Call it goodwill if you like. Do by all means observe the following:
Psalm 78: 69 – He made his sanctuary as enduring as the heavens above; as secure as the earth, which he established permanently (New English Translation)
Psalm 78: 69 – He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth that he established for ever (New International Version)
I’ve put two versions so that you can perhaps agree with me that, although the exact interpretation eludes us, the interpretation might be that he (God) built his sanctuary (the tabernacle) like the heights (the heavens, the universe), which is itself like the earth, which is established for ever – a permanent example of the universe in action so to speak. Now I might be way out of line here and I might be accused of being so but to me, it seems reasonable. The next point is about the design of the tabernacle:
“Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim worked into them by a skilled craftsman. All the curtains are to be the same size – twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide. Join five of the curtains together, and do the same with the other five. Make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and do the same with the end curtain in the other set. Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other. Then make fifty gold clasps and use them to fasten the curtains together so that the tabernacle is a unit.” Exodus 26: 1 – 6.

This blog is a parody of the lifestyle and behaviours and mindsets that led to my fall from the grace from a privileged and relatively stable up-bringing to my social demise and ultimate humiliation (at the hands of my peers), and that also ultimately led me to find God and repair my life, having become reconciled to those I hurt wherever possible.
It is not an apology, rather a tongue-in-cheek piss-take, and was written during a dark time in my life when I had turned from my sin and had begun to repair my life, but none of the (particularly) social graces had been returned to me. You have all had a lot of laughs at my expensive and this response, although inappropriate in many people's eyes, was a powerful coping mechanism in my recovery and for the hope that it might make a positive difference in other people's lives if I did not turn back from my repentance, I did not turn back because I had managed to divert my obsessions from malefaction to more healthy pursuits.
I think taking drugs is a very bad idea and I would strongly urge everyone never to do this. I escaped from my life of sin by the grace of God but not everyone is so lucky and drug and alcohol addiction are serious and often fatal behaviour problems. We are living in an age where dependency is a very bad idea so please turn to God if you have alcohol and drug related problems - he has helped me repair my life from a position of almost total destruction and he will do the same for you.
If I ever accede to a position of responsibility in the world, I am likely to come under a lot of persecution as a result of this blog and while it is not intended to cause offence, I don't care if you're offended by this. Whether or not it brings my downfall remains to be seen but I can rest assured that whatever I do, some, or many of you are going to accuse me of doing the wrong thing anyway. On the basis of this truth I've published this blog.
I hope you find God, in whatever form you find him, and that he helps you live lives that are worthy of him and you. And always remember: "You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master." Genesis 4:7
God is no respecter of persons - what has happened to me could happen to you, for "time and circumstance happen to all people"; so be careful how you judge, for "one day you too will be judged."
And I might also say that whether you believe God or not, the promises he gives are true nevertheless!
Psalm 7:
I come to you for protection, O Lord My God. Save me from my persecutors - rescue me! If you don't, they will maul me like a lion, tearing me to pieces with on one to rescue me. O Lord my God, if I have done wrong or am guilty of injustice, if I have betrayed a friend or plundered my enemy without cause, then let my enemies capture me. Let them trample me into the ground and drag my honour in the dust.
Arise, O Lord, in anger! Stand up against the fury of my enemies! Wake up, my God, and bring justice! Gather the nations before you. Rule over them from on high. The Lord judges the nations. Declare me righteous, O Lord, for I am innocent, O Most High! End the evil of those who are wicked, and defend the righteous. For you look deep within the mind and heart, O righteous God.
God is my shield, saving those whose hearts are true and right. God is an honest judge. He is angry with the wicked every day.
If a person does not repent, God will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow. He will prepare his deadly weapons and shoot his flaming arrows.
The wicked conceive evil; they are pregnant with trouble and give birth to lies. They dig a deep pit to trap others, then fall into it themselves. The trouble they make for others backfires on them The violence they plan falls on their own heads.
I will thank the Lord because he is just; I will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
