Building an ego up to be knocked down

        "Let's keep it real." is a popular phrase.
        How many Angels can sit on the head of a pin?
        Answer: How the fuck should I know?
        I've had theological discussions with plumbers and Priests:
        Christians and Buddhist and Muslim.
        It never can be resolved, because you don't have anything concrete.
       
        Tonight on the David Letterman Show; an Angel Lucifer.
        Lucifer will be performing his new album, Anarchy.
        Dave' s Top Ten List; Top Ten Ways to know your going to Hell.

        Number ten: you write a top ten list about Hell.

              Back in the 70's Johny Carson was king of the night.
        He actually had Tiny Tim and Ronald Reagan on his show.
        Lately, I've been musing about God and the sacred feminine with
        a hippie hobo.
        He is a suspiciously well kempt hippie and reminds me of a narc.
        There were a lot of undercover cops in my adolescent youth; 1975-ect.
        You get a radar on Serpico.(It's a 80's flick with Al Pacino... sigh.)
        Well, this hippie I met is obsessed with the sacred feminine, which is
        rare. Most hippies are obsessed with marijuana.

        "I know God is working to make us better, but
          he/she can't get passed kicking ass.
          I think the woman in God wants to love, but
          he has to show us who's boss." the hippie said to me.

                  Then, he'll go on about mathematics and his fucked up life.
                  I like him. He's funny like a hobo trani.
                  But he does give off that narc vibe. His teeth are very white
                  for a vagrant and he's wearing good shoes and he has cash.
                  Maybe, I've attracted the attention of the Fibbies.
                  (A nickname for the FBI in the..70's. God am I old.)

       
                                  OKAY! LETS GET DOWN!


        Definition of God- Perfect, "The works of God are perfect and just." Genesis.

                                  Nirvana, "God is everywhere and nowhere."

                                  Islam,  "There is one God and Mohammed is His prophet."

        You know you can start your own religion?
        Yup all you need, according to the IRS is at least a hundred followers,
        then you get tax exempt status. Cool huh?


                                  OKAY! KNOWLEDGE IS SUBJECTIVE!

        Sorry Ellen Degeneres you are a pervert, by Judeo/Christian definition.
        The dictionaries were written by Protestant and Catholic organizations.
        So, homosexuality is defined in my Webster dictionary as a sexual perversion.
        Words are ideas and ideas are religion.

        Religion is not democratic it is dogmatic.
        I went through Catholic Catechism Dogmatic Indoctrination for my Conformation.
        My first question was, "Why should I believe this?"
        The answer was believe it or get out.

                          Deuteronomy 24:16 "The children shall not be punished
                                                        for their father's sin."

        Try and square that with Original Sin. Why did we all sin in Adam?
        Is sin hereditary?
        If it is, then, there is no free will and we are not responsible for our actions.
        Criminals could be transferred to the mental hospital for the criminally
        insane.

                        If a just man takes the place of a criminal on the gallows,
                        is that justice?
                        Jesus died for our sins, but has this stopped people from sinning?
                        If you follow Jesus example you will be crucified.
                        Isn't that suicide?

        These are questions that cannot ever be resolved without faith.
        Dr. Richard Dawkins calls faith a failure. Science must prove its assertions.
        Perhaps.

                                When I was in surgery I felt as if I was drifting down
                                a cold river. I cold feel the water around my face.
                                There was darkness and then I started to remember
                                the Shaker song The Dancing King and the darkness
                                filled with stars. I was happy.

        That's not science, but it helped me deal with death.
        I don't know how many Angels can sit on a pin...
        How can I?

   
                                Writing is whistling in the dark
                                and hoping someone cares..... ..
