These are the sayings of Saint Antonivs, recorded by an infinite number of monkeys typing at an infinite number of word processors for an infinite number of years: Except for the change in my pocket, my money exists only on paper. If there is a God, we know one thing about him for sure. He values his privacy. It’s more important to be kind than to worship. God can take care of himself. For the vast majority of people on this planet, Life sucks and then you die! So be kind, they're already having a bad day! A flower is killed for its beauty. Nietsche was wrong, sometimes what doesn’t kill you, cripples you; and what would he know, he's dead! It may be lonely at the top, but it’s hungry at the bottom. I believe in the trickle up theory. Give a poor man a dollar and sooner or later (probably sooner) it will wind up in the hands of a rich person. The angry musings of an apostate: Why would god have to kill himself (i.e. Jesus) in order to forgive us? He’s all powerful and doesn’t have the power to forgive? I forgive people all the time. Am I more powerful than god? Is He that BLOOD thirsty? No one deserves to be tortured for eternity! That is cruel and unjust. Who would want to worship such a BLOOD thirsty god? Only out of fear or selfish indifference to the fate of others could someone worship such a god with no qualms. And if those who don’t believe in Jesus go to Hell, then Jesus didn’t die for ALL sins, only the sins of the few who would believe in him. The only Hell is the life created for us by those who teach others that they will go to Hell if they don't pick the correct religion. But have no fear! As Pope of the Erisian Church I hereby and forth- with grant absolution to one and all. The only sin is in causing someone else harm unnecessarily. Domesticated Primates are not perfect nor are they expected to be, just do your best. Every day is casual day! Loosen that tie, cut every one some slack. Kiss a stranger, and never believe anything you read!!! In the Biblical Creation story, God tells Adam that when he eats from the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil he will die. The Serpent on the other hand, tells Eve that she wouldn't die, but would be able to tell good from evil. Who lied and who told the truth? One good thing God did was to create all women naked! Lies and Truth can both be destructive or constructive. Otto is a magick name: Bob spelled backwards is still Bob, but o++o (my dog's name) is still o++o spelled backwards or upside down! Also, if dogs could drive, they would all drive motorcycles. So keep the wind in your face and enjoy yourself!
