The concept of God

It's not that I think there absolutely is no God...I just think the concept of 'God' that many people have just can't exist.

I got to thinking about this in the car today when I was thinking about how crazy it is that people are calling it a 'miracle' that those three American girls got saved in Cleveland. I was like...what?! A miracle would have been them not getting kidnapped for 10 years in the first place!

Religious people think of God as this omnipotent, omnipresent omni- yadda yadda force, that 'created us' and who judges us and sends us to heaven or to hell and gives us free will yet commands us to worship him and make everyone else worship him, and creates fucked up things like coprophagia  like the narcissistic, sadistic ass that he is.  Religion separate us ; its a special clique that you belong to, and you're right and everyone else is wrong. This breeds hate and close-mindedness. And this view of God, who can hear your prayers but lets shit happen, or who tells us contradictions like forgive everyone but stone adulterers?  This concept is unbelievable. Just....how? what? I can't accept it. I'm totally open to religion and the idea of a supernatural force. I think some good has come out of religion. But the concept of what God is, is very limited and ignorant. My God is everything and nothing at the same time. My God is my reality. And my God is love. Pretty sure that's a God most can accept..

A quote on romantic love

"Love is this way - you're on one side of the edge of a canyon - windy, deep, sunny, steep. Your lover's on the other. You wave to each other across the divide. You have a parachute. Your lover has a parachute. But the chords to open the parachutes are on the BACK not the front, so only your lover can open  your parachute for you, and you for your lover. You pause. Are you ready to jump? Will your lover jump too? If you and your lover jump simultaneously , grasp mid-air and yank each other's cords you'll glide sweetly to your getaway island where a candlelit dinner awaits. If one thing goes wrong, a glitch in timing, a puff of wind , the slightest hesitation - you'll be crushed on the rocks below" - Anon

Meaning of life?

The meaning of life? Why be so definitive and restrictive like that, turning something so phenomenal into words, a very limited concept. What if the meaning is to be open minded to everything, to open your heart to everything the universe and this reality has to offer? In which case, a paradox ensues as we don’t need a meaning of life. We don’t need to constrict it like that. Life IS meaning.
