Aren't you happy she took them off to have you ?........
Er, I 'spose so, but never really wanted to picture the situation 
There was no taking anything off to give birth to me. My mom loved coffee--so much so that mine was what they now call a 'caffeinated birth'. Without any warning whatsoever, I shot out, destroying all clothes in my way, creating a sonic boom that set off car alarms for blocks, and got embedded four feet into the ground. It took a rescue team 20 minutes to arrive and dig me out.
Trust me, it's original. I can't even read. I just get really lucky when I flail my arms. I'm probably channeling some great evil being, but it's a living, you know?
MW, you're obviously perplexed at not being able to understand the metaphysical mystery of life I don't think that "understanding the metaphysical mystery of life" really means anything beyond experiencing a feeling of wonderment at being here and imagining that there must be a *purpose* for it. But if it does, would you like to explain it? 'cuz you're left w/out answers to the absolute very-most critical questions about existentialism. Existentialists think that you choose what counts as moral yourself, as I do; existentialists think that you choose what counts as meaningful yourself, as I do.
You're not gonna solve it w/ logic sweetie. Can I suggest you visit the right side of your mind ? There you will find all your answers. Focus on that weakness....it's there waiting 4u to discover you........ Having a sense of wonder is not at all the same as having the answer to a question. What more do you have than a sense of wonder?

YOU CANNOT PROVE ME WRONG THEREFORE I AM RIGHT

I'm really not sure how to talk to people who won't *think*.
I feel the same way about people who push away their imagination.
MW, pleez step outta your dark closet of denial. You know hellawell that you'd do just about anything to know the answers to this Universe. So, pleez, stop your shoulder shrugging & replacing the word "wonderment" w/ being defeated. I am willing to bet that even your wonderment has you completely bewildered and secretly puzzled way-way past your comfort zone. For that ?....I suggest getting some nightglow star stickers for your bedroom ceiling.
You'll never-ever know (in your lifetime anywayz - & that's all that matters right ?....since you're a vanilla atheist) the answers to what's happening out there in Deep Space 10....and that bugs you. And I'm willing to bet that it bugs you a whole bunch a carrots.
Relying upon monkey fist logic will keep on keeping the right side of your brain flatlining on the computer screen of surfable waves. So whatever your IQ is ?....you can safely divide it by 2.
But, I will extend you some solace. You idea is right - as you go about your way in worship. You just happen to be worshipping the wrong space cadette....Mother Nature. And yes, she has a belly button but she doesn't have idea #1 who her parents are. So, you can 4get her helping you. Besides, her parents give info out on a need to know basis only.
So, as of right now ?....you're outta luck there Buster Brown.
In fact, The_Ghostess_Lola, not knowing the answers bothered me a whole lot more many years ago, when I was looking into Buddhism, Taoism, and Zen.
Empirical observation and rational thought are the only ways we have of getting answers that aren't just illusions.
But it can be really, really hard for people to give up their illusory faux-answers.
MW, you know that I like you. Well, if you didn't ?....you know now....
....
Anywayz, so far I've led you to the Slurpee Machine. I've even paid for yours in full (w/ atheist abuse....tho' not from you). Your favorite flavor of choice is your own bizness. It could be rainbow for all I'm concerned.
Once you've made up your mind, then you just need to pull the Las Vegas slot handle. Your cup will runneth over if your not careful !
And do you know that annoying sucking sound you get when you reach the bottom ? That's atheism. Spirituality forever offers you a bottomless extralarge one.
7-11 is a convenience store....not a dice game. Blaise Pascal explained that in his wager in infathomable depth nearly 400 years ago. His concept has stood the test of what time you have left flying around on a rock headed for the Missed Again Slingshot Range.
Now. I think its about time you Supersized yourself....Bubule'.
Wow, all this metaphorical talk that ultimately means nothing. You want to say something that actually conveys an idea?
Pascal's wager is fatally flawed. I have explained that elsewhere. If you are unaware of how it is flawed, I will be glad to explain it in detail.
By the way, look at my avatar. That's me. Do I look unhappy to you? If I don't, that's probably because I'm not.
My mother was a medium. That's what the label on her knickers said anyway.......
