Metashorts: goals

It's not clear why anyone tells stories. So any kind of answer sounds like bullshit. But i keep running myself aground on the problem of why I want to do this.

How important is metaphysical thinking?

How important is it for you to decide what you believe? Everybody has an answer to this question to varying degrees, and I suspect the majority of folks would answer that it's pretty important to dredge through the options and come up with an explicit metaphysical viewpoint.

As for me, I've been reading some opponents to the concept of developing some kind of metaphysical world view, specifically, that such a world view is universally damaging. See Christopher Hitchen's God is not Great.

Now I haven't read the story in quite some time, and this is not a scholarly piece, but the concept that spending time thinking about "God" whatever that might mean will eventually render something heinous might very well be true (and also a straw man argument). But I'm just not sure that not thinking about the situation is very healthy from a social perspective either.

I mean, consider the situation from a bastardized game theory perspective. In fact this would be an excellent time to draw up a game theory matrix for this. too bad i'm so lazy. nevermind. back to work.

Idea for a story

When I was a christian, I had metaphysical conversations frequently, and I cherished them greatly. Now that I am not, I cherish the absence of those same conversations greatly. Yet, I still have conversations of the same fervent tone, they are just about the physical.
There is numinous wonder to be had in the physical world around us. As long as you don't go into the world searching for that. The nature of the divine has something to do with the chemical makeup of the human brain, and that can be a hugely negative thing, as proven by the world's religions.
Yet there can be a shred of positive there too, a coloration of the interactions you have with the people all around you.

Working on a webcomic

The likelihood that anyone outside the project will see this post is of course, nearly miniscule, since I have not applied SEO prowess to this site until I deem myself readier.
However, in the spirit of open source, I would like to extend an open invitation for anyone who reads my stories to come edit and make commentary on what I'm currently working on. Here's a link.
