maybe jazz is pink...

yup another excerpt.. god is teaching me.. maybe you'll get something out of it.. and maybe not..

this is his version of moses talking to him..
"i want you to understand that god has never been nor ever will be invented. he is not a product of any sort of imagination. he does not obey trends. and god led us out of Egypt because you people cried out to Him. He was answering your prayers because he is a god of compassion. he could have left you to satan. dont complain about the way god answers your prayers. you are still living on an earth that is run but the devil. god has promised us a new land, and we will get here. your problem is not that god is not fulfilling, your problem is that you are spoiled."

"and moses was right. god is not here to worship me, to mold himself into something that will help me fulfill my level of comfort. "

"here is the trick, and here is my point. satan, who i believe exists as much as i believe jesus exists, wants us to believe meaningless things for meaningless reasons. can you imagine if christians actually believed that god was trying to rescue us from the pit of our own self-addiction? can you imagine? can you imagine what americans would do if they understood over half the word was living in poverty? do you think they would change the way they live, the products they purchase, and the politicians they elect? if we believed the right things, the try things. there wouldnt be very many problems on earth. but the trouble with deep belief is that it costs something. and there is something inside me, some selfish beast of a subtle thing that doesnt like the truth at all because it carries responsibility, and if i actually believe these things i have to do something about them. ... even our beliefs have become trend statements. we dont even believe things because we believe them anymore. we only believe things because they are cool thing to believe. "

theres more.. but thats enough for now..
thoughts? comments? disagrements? experiences? wanna share?
