I never knew about virtual particles. Huh... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_particle

One of my friends thinks divine beings are aliens, perhaps time-traveling ones given their godlike powers as Scripture sometimes seems to describe when it comes to the unfathomable. I've wondered if this whole life and universe is a simulation in a supercomputer, of which God is the developer, who we'd meet at the end of our "lives." But I don't know...
I go from "God is a kid with a magnifying glass" to "everything is as it is, and when I die that's it, nothing happens afterwards", with varying shades of agnosticism in between.
I still find churches (well, big ones made by people hundreds of years ago, not meeting halls) super chill. I visited a catholic shrine on my holidays last year and I found it really peaceful. I enjoy the "practice" of that aspect of religion in that respect. But I can't square my experience of the world with anything other than an awful god who wouldn't warrant any attention anyway.
