Faith based rant, completely irrelevant if there is nothing beyond this existence, which may well be the case.
However I keep coming back to that if there were such a thing as a god, or gods, or entities more powerful than humans. The thing is that most people don’t get how dramatic the impact humanity has. It’s awful, we’re still cleaning up. So when you invoke a _Higher Power_, understand what that means. Humans have it within them to travel within the solar system in my lifetime.
_Higher Power_ could correct for mistakes is what I’ve always thought. It doesn’t always, and that’s a complicated situation.
I don’t know, I guess I get too much of the whole transactional thing into me, because I’m stuck in such a transactional space. How much flesh must I give?
So why is it all the “miracles” are so low calibre? Coincidence or well arranged at best.
I want history shattering ramifications. Dang it. Well…… Actually what I wanted was a cup of water and a bed somewhere far away from here, but no such luck.
It sits there, the perfect spot for me to rest my head. Yes, I know it’s more than I deserve, you said NOT to be transactional. ???!????
It was at this point I had to check, and yes it is still there, how my heart broke for the few minutes I couldn’t find it…….. even though I know full well that absent that higher power, which I can no more be sure of than the results of this election…. which is a similarly futile wish.
This is only my second presidential election since my total psychotic break
My point is that, supposing an all powerful being, more powerful than superman because he’s not just everywhere at once, he’s everywhen. My dad NAILED this into my head because it’s something non theology people miss.
So just because I’m talking to him in 2024, he’s still back in 1930, 1830, 1730……1430. Ancient history to me is now to him. He’s not even a him, it’s just convenient to think of “him”, being that all humanity came out of “god” that god would represent both genders, in pure theology theory.
This has been bugging me more lately. There was a young televangelist who didn’t HAVE to build his university here. He really didn’t. Heck, the Catholic church could have self limited and prevented the reformation therefore preventing the young televangilist and his university from existing in the first place.
I don’t know where that puts me, out of existence is okay with me.
However I know there’s an alternative timeline where he lives in California, because he did for awhile. Why he came back here, well I do know why and it’s horrifically offensive and unkind. Geez the parallels with Jim Jones. However California would have known how to deal with him, and me I suspect.
So I tried praying for that alternative timeline, the California timeline. No luck yet though.
My little plot of aquiring property in the middle of nowhere looks pretty puny by comparison.
Not that it seems to matter. You can’t be good enough for a miracle. Which is exactly what is wrong with the whole faith racket. You attend church regular, read your bible, do extra stuff on the side, and you’ve got to make it look really sincere. Maybe it is most of the time, but some of the time you’ve got to fake it, and that eventually wears you out.
I only try to be sincere.
Yes, I feel like there must be something more. That’s what comes of staying put for most of a decade. Working your butt off being promised more, only to have it pulled away. A worker is worth their wage, it is said.
but the higher power is supposed to consider us his children? Most people treat their children better than their workers.
