: ... golden beam of light - what were you thinking?
Interesting thoughts. I'm not sure how to respond, since I don't necessarily believe in the same God that those who worship Him in some organized sect do. I do believe the universe creates and destroys, that it's part of a natural cycle. On the smaller scale, I think a lot of it has to do with what WE create. We're part of the cycle as well, being the fleshly expression of divinity. If we create violence, then our religions and our Gods become violent beings. If we create peace, then we create a peaceful God. I'm not making sense, so I think I'm going to crawl back under my rock now.
And Michael Eisner est el Diablo!
: Succinct, rapid-fire, terse, but not curt. Very well done.
: But tell me, who is the man with ultimate power that Kevin, etc., are discussing on the clerks cartoon commentary during episodes 2 & 3?
: Is it Michael Eisner? More powerful?
: Just an aside, I do think God would permit September 11th, and I do think it would be distressing to God, but not as distressing as to us, because God knows that creation and destruction are only "abstracts" that humans use because we don't have a good sense of infinity. God can reclaim all things that are destroyed, and if God gives souls, can grant the souls peace. No matter what filth a terrorist thinks they can accomplish, God is greater.
: Happy Easter. Jesus has Risen!
: Amen.
