I'd like to widen people's awareness of the tremendous timespan lying ahead -- for our planet, and for life itself. Most educated people are aware that we're the outcome of nearly 4bn years of Darwinian selection, but many tend to think that humans are somehow the culmination. Our sun, however, is less than halfway through its lifespan. Six billion years from now, it will not be humans who watch the sun's demise. Any creatures that then exist will be as different from us as we are from bacteria or amoebae.

If I may toot my own shofar, a few of the posts I like best:
Thank you for the well-meaning thoughts. I don't doubt that they're offered in a sincere gesture of kindness.
But, if you've dug around this site a bit, you should be able to guess my response to the God content of your message:
The gods of the Great Trinity love you, and are constantly working in your life to bring you back into a closer relationship with Them. I feel that Vishnu has great things in store for you. Good luck trying to deny the existence of Brahma the creator when all you have to do is open your eyes.
Sound good?
(Incidentally, should you talk to your God in the near future, ask him to quit worrying about my well-being – I think I enjoy more wealth and comfort than 99% of the people on this planet – and ask him to instead heal the children in your local hospital's pediatric cancer ward. You might ask him that… but you know it'll have the exact same effect as asking a brick wall. Some "god".)
