2005-08-06 - 7:30 p.m. about god, God, and gods... and dogs ok. after seven zillion visits to evababy777 because she must have purchased a million banners just for this week alone, I come across the religion concept... I suppose it is not easy to see the big picture from within a close mindset... so if you believe in guilt and believe that living a life without constantly apologizing to some imaginary being in the sky for enjoying your life must mean that anyone who does not focus so much energy of feeling bad for feeling good and deciding what is a sin and what isn't and what to do about doing it and getting away with doing it because you genuinely seek forgiveness from this imaginary being in the sky must be sent to hell by this imaginary being (who is all good and love, remember), then I guess you might have trouble understanding that any god who is truly good and love would accept that if living in the moment, aware of the physical reality as much as physical senses can allow, and intending no harm is the best someone can do then that all good and love god would welcome the moment of meeting such an open minded person... really, I know someone who talks to god, after all... I think the most challenging concept I find when asked to discuss theology is why any all powerful omniscient omnipresent loving, forgiving, good being would create, in his image, mind you, beings with such closed minds, insecure psyches, and fragile egos who must fear the wrath of this loving and good and forgiving being, beg for that forgiveness (for being the product of this being's creation?), or spend all eternity in the worst possible place imaginable... it's kind of like you buying a model airplane and putting it together and faulkting it because it does not look like you want it to look... or like buying a pet, a dog perhaps, and telling the dog that if he or she doesn't shape up and do everything exactly the way you want him or her to do it, you'll put the dog in a place that scares the crap out of the dog and leave them there forever... if there is such a being as god, the level of consciousness, awareness, and understanding of the universe is akin to our understanding of life and everything when compared with a dog... or maybe a frog... or mosquito... do you expect a mosquito to apologize to you for biting you and sucking you blood?... or how about getting squashed against your windshield?... is there a mosquito hell for mosquitos that don't somehow atone for it's sins?... I say live for today, make each moment the best you can make of it by keeping your mind and eyes (and all your senses) open and doing what feels good for you and those around you... if it hurts, don't do it... if it hurts someone else, don't do it... and stop worrying about what's going to happen after you die... even by the staunchest religious rules, if you do no harm and live each moment as well as you are able, your rules tell you that you have nothing to worry about... so why waste these moments worrying about nothing?... and if you truly believe in your god, then by your own rules there's no problem because that is what you say your god wants, true believers... let me and others who do not close our minds to the infinite possibilities that might or might not have been created by your particular god have the same privilege of making the best of each moment and doing no harm (as close to it as we can get, I mean, it's not like we can avoid every mosquito in the path of our windshield, right?)... and in the end, whenever the end might be, we'll each do what we feels right if we are approached by some all-everything creator being... why assume we're going to argue with the being... or deny his or her or it's existence if it's standing or sitting in front of us asking for or even demanding our attention?... why assume we're not going to please this being just as much by actually using all of the free will and faculties and mind power he or she or it gave us?... "his image", unless he has horrible self-esteem, might be something more together and secure and enlightenbed and open minded and developed than a sniveling wimp so scared of doing anything but begging forgiveness and kissing ass in order to get on "his" good side... maybe this creator being wants more than a pet out of us, ya know?... in any case, it's all about the free will... you can spend your time trying to live my life for me or trying to tell me how I should live it and I can wish you well and focus my energy on living my life as well and I can and supporting your right to do the same... and we'll see what happens after we die after we die...
