This is a page for you! Anything you are thinking about in terms of our friend God: insert here! Lets get talking to each other. Lets share ideas.
A few guidelines for getting the best response:
- Keep it short
- No hate speech - everyone has been ticked off at God, or organised religion, or unorganised religion at some point. Feel free to have an opinion, but lets keep this constructive, shall we?
- Keep it about you! We want to know your experience and research, not someone elses.

ReplyDeleteWith so many Catholics about I should, perhaps, whisper when I confide that I started out as an Anglican. But the process of extracting oneself seems much the same.
Trappers have those nasty, snappy things with the jagged teeth. Religion tends to opt for a more humane cage approach. It works best with an enticing entrance craftily constructed such that it only allows One-Way traffic. Not many escape. I remember all the wandering I did before I discovered my own Ultimate Truth.
So these days, my interest in the subject is purely narcissistic. As wrong as everyone always is, it is still amusing to hear everyone's opinion. I sometimes forget how important I am to everyone.
Since you all want the truth however, I thought I might indulge you all. The fact is, I did it all inadvertently. I wasn't paying attention; I was thinking about other things; I was unaware of my power over the world; I conjured you all up into existence without even knowing I'd done it.
So, while I freely admit that, as God, the world I have created is entirely my responsibility - I must also admit that I didn't (and still don't) have any idea of how to go about things. You all seem to have such great expectations of me that it becomes difficult to explain that I created you all to be Gods in your own right.
I did bring you into my world creation to serve my own purposes, but, if you think it had anything to do with worshipping me then you misread my purposes. I can't honestly tell you what those purposes were, however, because just like you, I am haven't figured it all out yet.
Someday, I hope to become the God I have the potential to be, but until then, I fervently hope that some of you will make the same attempt and relieve me of carrying ALL the responsibility.
