God.
Would you stop talking about God?
Unless this God of yours has a goddamn idea on how to overcome this god-awful mediocrity.
I, for one, am fed up with anyone or anything that needs to be worshipped.
I can barely get someone’s attention at McDonald’s.
Where does God get off thinking we should stand up for thirty minutes, sing atrocious songs with insipid lyrics, and feed His ego—when He owns title and lien to the whole mess of the Universe?
And by the way, stop promoting books written by Bedouin prophets who believe that demons cause sickness. (By the way, they don’t.)
No more God talk until we have God walk
Here’s the problem—to be religious, you must buy into religion.
They won’t let you be religious by taking God in your everyday life and trying to love people. You have to purchase the whole package—kind of like a gym membership. You sign on the dotted line, it sounds like a good deal, you think you might be interested. But after you go there and realize you can’t measure up to the clientele who are lifting their heavy burdens, you don’t ever want to go back.
Religion says: God is in heaven.
I say: God is on Earth, or what’s the big deal?
Religion: God is to be worshipped.
But I say unto you: God is a lifestyle—a way of living. Otherwise, if we’re just going to meet Him when we die, why mess around with Him now?
The church says God is a Savior.
I happen to believe that God is life abundantly. He’s just as interested in my pizza choices as He is my Bible study.
They will preach to you that God is a spirit. I happen to believe that God is the person next to me. If I treat him or her poorly, I register “suck” on the meter.
Of course, we’ve all heard that God is contained in the Bible. I will object and say that I think that God is my living word, if I dare to use my words for better living.
God is a Creator? Sure.
But more importantly, God is creating—even strange essays written by folks like me who might perturb those who pursue more of a divine sensibility.
And there are those who feel they can judge other people and tell you that God is Law.
May I proclaim to you that God is love, and if He isn’t, He’s not of much use to us at this point in our history.
OMG.
Stop talking about it, unless you’re prepared to bring something to Show and Tell.
