I've had a thought. Doesn't happen often.
I want all you religious devotees to ponder this for a moment or two.
Let's say, for a moment, that God definitely exists. He also has a plan for all of his 'children,' namely us. In order for this plan to culminate into the eventual nirvana he has waiting for all of us, all the individual lives of every person on the planet would be affected by the plan. Everyone would have a part to play.
But... we have people like pedophiles and murderers and rapists, and somehow I don't think that God planned on Joe Whats-his-name to be a necrophile, or Jake Someone to be a genocidal mass murderer.
Unless God has a sick sense of humor.
Makes you wonder.
You saddly fail to understand, My Son . . . Dog has a plan for us all, it is true, but the plan is flexible. We can wander, sadly errant, toward our petty lusts, or we can get with Dog's program--which i will be happy to provide you in a lovely hard-bound edition at a modest price.
Perhaps god sees us as a sitcom?
Ol' boy must be near paralytic from paroxysms of laughter . . .
Kinda Mary Hartman Mary Hartman, ya know?
Actually, I was thinking more "Vicar of Dibley," myself.
i don't want to spread any blasphemous rumors
but i think that god's got a sick sense of humor
and when i die i expect to find
him laughing
(name those '80's proto-techno-emo-(non)rockers!)
That's why the Fundies are so intense..they have Someone to hear their prayers..someone who cares...
If man is made in God's image, it's pretty clear that God's not perfect either...
Nah, it's just hoddy workmanship. Course, that's an imperfection, too. Ah, well. THe only thing that's perfect is the avocado, so God is clearly an avocado herself.
well, a ripe avocado, I would think.
... blame it on the boogie.
It's a paradox I doubt the human mind is capable of comprehending:
- God has given man free will do to what he/she chooses, but
- God knew what each and every one of us would choose to do before Creation.
Now, mull that over while we pick your pockets.
@ p-dog; Depeche Mode, 'course!
But then who wrote
"an' the book says:
He made us all to be just like him,"
so...
If we're dumb
Then God is dumb...
(An' maybe a little ugly on the side)
?
People -- what have you done --
locked Him in His golden cage.
Made Him bend to your religion --
Him resurrected from the grave.
He is the god of nothing --
if that's all that you can see.
You are the god of everything --
He's inside you and me.
So lean upon Him gently
and don't call on Him to save you
from your social graces
and the sins you used to waive.
The bloody Church of England --
in chains of history --
requests your earthly presence at
the vicarage for tea.
And the graven image you-know-who --
with His plastic crucifix --
he's got him fixed --
confuses me as to who and where and why --
as to how he gets his kicks.
Confessing to the endless sin --
the endless whining sounds.
You'll be praying till next Thursday to
all the gods that you can count.
-Ian Anderson
If Jesus would have died in our age and time, we would have an Uzi around our neck, instead of a cross...
Yes, he really would give his right hand to be ambidexterous. Quite the football player is bigdice...
