The Big Picture
Speaking of God...
Why is it that only Christian denominations go door to door? Imagine if athiests did.
"Hi, we are some athiest missionaries sharing a message."
"Really, what's your message?"
"Ah... Nothing."
And you know, we always consider God to be an all knowing, all wise, omninpotent, mature, father. Did it ever occur to anybody that God just might be a scared teenager who had a baby out of wedlock?
He's nervous, immature, upset that he can't go out with his buddies like he used to. Maybe that's why the world is such a screwed up place, he's just letting us run around doing whatever the heck we want because he doesn't know any better.
Then of course like with all kids they finally get to that one really loud, really obnoxious point where they are fighting with each other and dad just freaks out and goes nuts because he can't watch the game in peace. That's when we get hit with an earthquake, a flood... That's God's way of popping in the Incredibles DVD and keeping us busy for a while.
Just my two cents. Religion and spirituality is open to a lot of interpretation. Of course pretty much every religion thinks they have the lock on God and spirituality. But that's the thing, I think when all is said and done there'll be a lot of surprises for a lot of people when they die. Their looking around heaven going, "You kidding me!? Those people got in!?"
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that only 144,000 of them will get into heaven. Yet there are over seven million Jehovah's Witnesses world wide. Talk about over booking... What do the rest of them do? Wait around on stand by? "Hey Bob! Great news! Jim committed adultery at the last minute and your in! Let's go!"
I've known a few J.W's in my time. That's one group that will be pretty surprised. And who knows, maybe there will be Mormons standing around going, "What!? You mean it would have been ok to be drinking carmel macchiatos this whole time!? -- What about me thinking I was supposed to have sixteen kids!? Wait you know what, I don't want to even know!"
