Waiting for God

Re: Waiting for God


Is it a pun on 'Waiting for Godot'? Godot never came. Will God?

No Hinge. That's not a pun on Godot. Would you help me please?

I'll help if I can.

My understanding of the phrase 'Waiting for God' is an expression to describe the state of mind you get having reached an age when you've achieved what you're going to achieve, your kids have left home, you've retired and you have no ambition to do anything much but live until you die. ie wait for god to call you up to heaven.

So basically it is about old age?

Could be about a Nun or priest entering the seminary or having entered is having doubts.

something with a muslim attatchment?

Science/mathematics:The big bang theory and knowing the answer is in there inside the equations somewhere but being unable to see it.

How much is the prize? I'll take 10% if you use my ideas.

In the UK Waiting For God is BBC Comedy

About two senile delinquents in an old peoples home - I think....

I am curious Hinge, and I am not from UK. Could you enlighten me more?

didnt notice the link, sorry.
thanks hinge.
but whats the relevance. waiting for god?????

Follow the link Para - I'm not from the UK either....

That's a truly sorry state of life. It could also be defined as "simply giving up". Many young people also suffer from this malady. People should have a sense of mission until they die!

thanks nick. so you mean that it could be about hope in spite of resignation.

More precisely, don't give in to resignation. Find the hope within yourself.

and the hope within is none other than God...brilliant!!!

waiting for god could be interperated many ways... wich is probably the point... to interperate it however you want... but heres the four i see it as... waiting to die... waiting for judgment day and the second comming... waiting to hear back on a prayer to god... but the last one i like best becuase im kinduf anti religion right now... but it could be taken like this... god is all knowing and all powerfull... when he comes to you you reach enlightenment, the meaning of life and whatnot... but since i think that very few ppl ever reach the transendent state that budda did, i'd take it to mean that we are all waiting to figure out maybe not a meaning to life, but at least a better understanding... when people are waiting for god they are waiting for something to bring them out of a bad time or place in life... so your neck deep in life and are waiting for an enlightening thought to cross your mind and keep you afloat
