Why are we doing this? In an instant, billions of people vanished. Why do we bother?

Ben

Maybe for nothing. Maybe we’re just here as a mass of organized matter, a statistical accident! And then we vanish.

Flo

You don’t believe in God, Ben? You don’t believe that there’s a grand purpose behind our existence?

Ben

Strangely I do. Of all we know, there’s no tangible evidence that our existence is anything more than that. There are no situations that cannot be explained by our knowledge of the material world. And yet, I believe that there’s more. But I don’t pretend to understand.

Flo

And those stories about the return of Té?

Ben

They’re very inspiring, a billion people believed them. But another billion believed in the divinity of Se! One thing is for sure — there are today at least a billion dead that are disillusioned! If not two!

Flo

So how can you believe?

Ben

That’s what a belief is! It’s to take for true something while knowing we don’t know.

Flo

And if those two gods exist and, like sport team managers, they’re recruiting players for the grand celestial tournament?

Ben

If God is as zumien as us, I don’t want to play that game!

Flo

Let’s just try to rebuild our world better! A world where everyone cares to be REAL, to be TRUE!
