Tonight was a typical night for me when my girlfriend is not home. I sat around, played some games, and wasted a bit of time here on R&S. I decided to hit the sack, but I wanted to wash the dishes and take out the trash first, so I run some hot water and take out the trash. On the way out, I have a little debate with myself about the possibility of there being a god, and decide that if the water in the sink is gone when I get back in then I will say its a sign from god. I get back in and the water is still there, no big surprise. Then, for some reason, I decide to flip on the radio while I do dishes, a radio I have not touched in months, and a station I have not heard in months because I have Sirius radio. I turn it on and I catch the very beginning of Disturbed’s Inside the Fire. I stop and think, wow, thats odd, my favorite band, on the radio as soon as i turn it on, how strange, almost divine. Then as the song plays, these lyrics stick out in my mind:
Give your soul to me, for eternity.
Release your life to begin another time with her.
End your grief with me.
There’s another way.
Release your life.
Take your place inside the fire with her!
Emphasis on the first two lines, then the bit about "take the word of one immortal"
I have been struggling with this god thing for a long long time, and have been very assured of my atheist stance, but this shite rattled me for some reason, it really freaked me out. I think I may have possibly just received a divine message, but then again as I write this I begin to see the random coincidence of it all. Thoughts?
