Religious Belief - On the Feeling of It All

Whilst BaseNotes is concerned with the world and the relentless pressures brought to bear upon its inhabitants by their mortality, it must not be assumed that it lacks a spiritual dimension. On the contrary, BaseNotes is, at heart, an other worldly entity which continually wrestles with Big Questions.

Why Were We Born? What Is The Meaning Of It All? What Happens When We Die? How Can We Happy? Why Should We Be Happy? Why Are Other People Always Better Than Us At Everything? Why Isn't Life Perfect? IF God Really Cared About His Creations, Why Does He Allow Hangovers?

BaseNotes is continually aware of the need to capitalise and italicisize such questions in order to demonstrate that they are important.
However, in keeping with the New Age, BaseNotes is not so modern that it believes in a God. That would be too simple.

The beliefs of BaseNotes are in accord with those of the most sophisticated past-modern theologists. BaseNotes has transcended the naïve assumption that a belief in God is necessary for religious faith. True religious faith has to do with … well, feeling all sort of funny when we think about the size of the universe (which according to the latest quantumised science is as little as it is big!), how it all must have started somehow and how difficult it must have been to catch a train before time existed.

Since this funny feeling transcends reason BaseNotes does not, of course, argue for the truth of the funny feeling. Such activity would diminish the funny feeling as a Thing-In-Itself. This lack of thought makes BaseNotes calm, whole and able to carry on.

BaseNotes realises, of course, that there are those who are too simple to understand the Deepest Truth that belief in the existence of an object is actually unnecessary for a belief in the object. The term "in" here shifts in ways too subtle to be comprehended by the spiritually inadequate.
