    Odd time for this topic to rear its head again but while HAF from a couple of Bunion cookies it came to me.

    God or the supreme being depending on your religion is an abstract deity used to explain that it is really just Time.

    Time is infinite and takes care of everything given enough of it. It waits for no one, heals all wounds etc.

    That is all.
    I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

    He said, "You're wrong about God being cruel and mean
    Oh, God is the most loving thing that's never been seen"
    I said, "Hotshot tell me this which religion is the truest"
    He said, "There all about the same
    Buddha was not a Christian, but Jesus woulda made a good buddist"

    ^^^ Or Time.

    Ian Hunter: God, Take 1.

    God said to me "Gonna kick your ass - `cos all you do is ask ask ask
    All that energy looking for me when I`m sitting here inside you - plain to see
    How I built you cell for cell gave you sights to see - gave you tales to tell
    Even let you help yourself for a while - to take some weight off this busy child"
    I said to God "I found you out - I know what this world is all about!"
    God said "Stop - don`t scramble your brain - my opponent`s been messing you around again
    See him and me are enemies and we play little games for galaxies
    And he`s inside you - `n I am too - so here we are - just the three of you"
    "Oh we made mistakes - too many cards - but making human beings can be hard
    A God gets tired of playing so much chess - he wishes his God would get him out of his mess"
    I said to God "What`s it like to die" He said "It`s as plain as the sea and sky
    Conception was him and me and you - when your batteries fade we all just move on"
    I said to God "Who`s winning this game - is the devil in front" He said "Is that his name
    You know I`ve been so busy I never asked - I never looked up from this awesome task"
    I said to God "What`s good `n bad" He said "It`s just something you`ve got to have
    It don`t mean nothing to us up here - but your primitive people - you gotta have fear"
    I said to God "Do I think for myself" He said I told you once you just help yourself
    Don`t forget you`re composed of three, your thinking comes from him and me"
    I said to God "How big are you, is there a religion - is it true
    How big`s the universe - is time - the same for you as my life is to mine"
    God said "If all the things that made worlds float - were all to part - then you would note
    The size of him and the size of me - and that`s how big we both shall be"
    He said "The universe is small - just like some fortune-teller`s ball
    And we both sit down - and we play the game - when somebody wins it all starts again"
    "There`s no religion - you did that - it helps to keep your little leaders fat
    Like faith `n superstition stay - to help you pass the time away
    But when you talk of time and life - it makes me think of circles, heights
    Expansion is the clue - your dreams - are nearer than you`ve ever been"
    "You see my little toy to think - is from two bowls of wine to drink
    Don`t take too much or you may drown - behave yourself - see you around..."

    Anyone quickly read this title as “Texting with Todd”?

    If so, will you ask about the tags and a new box fan?

    I had a lovely brunch with Jesus Christ
    He said, "two words about inanity: fundamental Christianity," yeah
    The food was very nice
    But then He had to go and die for my sins and stick my ass with the check

    Do know you can get some very cheap (but drinkable) house-brand beer at Trader Joe's. 12 pack, $6.99. Better'n ButtWiper.

    At least that's something to believe in.

    I think that's been misinterpreted. We can't judge who is doing right with "God" and will reap the reward but we can pretty much tell who is, and who is not, an asshole.

    What if you are an asshole and you know it?

    Depends on who is butt hurt I'd guess. It's situational IMO. I don't believe just being an asshole is a deal breaker if it doesn't hurt anyone. I personally don't "talk to God" as much as I probable should but His "son" talks to me a lot. The Kid is always telling what to do and not do.

    I was kinda thinking along the lines of Laws of Attraction. You know, that successful people attract successful people, ergo, assholes attract assholes. I also doubt that being an asshole is a deal breaker. His "son" hung out with assholes and was roundly criticized by those that thought they were "not an asshole"s. Being a gaper can't be that bad either. Just need to tighten things up a bit.

    I think you are correct, we can't judge who is doing right with "God". Nor should we care. We only have ourselves to account for. And knowing that there are so many assholes, we shouldn't imagine that God or anyone else will be pointing fingers on that day.
