No question about it, but one cannot describe God! One would be the biggest phony-baloney if one tried to describe God. We can come close to it, but words can never describe it. -Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
"God is a comedian, playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
-Voltaire
I'm a big fan of quotes that throw people off kilter and make them think. That's part of what I do: ask the questions and get other people to ask them. For in the questions, there are plenty of answers...
But enough about me. What about this dude in the sky that people make such a big deal about? What do they call it? God? Dog? If people stopped running their mouths about "God" and attempted to realize the absurdity of calling "God," a "He" and acting if "God" was something they could petition and influence, then the world just might be a better place. Perhaps, people would take more responsbility for their actions and have greater compassion on those they don't understand, those who are different but suffer and come from the same source on the same hands.
Can you really pretend to honor some great dude in the sky, aknowledge this "cosmic" omni-human in the place that you call "church" once a week and ignore your neighbor? Your gay neighbor? Your Buddhist, Islamic, Jewish, or Unitarian Univeralist neighbor?
Love God? You can't do that without loving people. Absolutely not.
Want to experience "God?"
Love those around you. Accept love from those around you.
Let go of your hatred or just keep pretending that your prejudices are shared by your cosmic "watchdog?"
All you need is love, love is all you need.
