Who is this God fellow folks talk about?

I wondered that for a long time.  He or It is all knowing, all seeing, always present.  And I'm told he'll send me into the pit if I don't do what he wants.


Sort of sounds like Santa Clause without the cheerful disposition doesn't he? 

Now why is he spying on me?  Watching everything I do, even invading my thoughts!  And he's everywhere so I have no possibility of evasion or escape from him.  And then, after all this spying he’s going to judge me and send me to hell?

Geez!  What a grouch!  I’ve never done a thing to him!  Or have I?

I’m told that “We” the collective we of mankind sort of beat the living hell out of his son and then strung him out to dry like a piece of beef jerky.  But as I recall he won that round as well.  Christ rose from the dead and then got a free ride into the sky and home.

I can’t say I’ve ever felt particularly guilty over the whole thing in any sort of personal way.  So why all this spying and judgment and sending me to hell?  That, I’d have to say I do rather take a bit personally. 

Oh, I see I forgot one of the ALLS up top there.  He’s All powerful as well.  What sort of a fair deal is this?

I didn’t always have all those suspicions about God.  It started when I was young.  My parents got divorced and I prayed to someone I thought I could trust was on my side that my Father would return and I could go back to doing what I wanted to do.  I can’t say what it was I used to do as I was a kid, And a kids mind jumps all over the place, all the time.

Side note: when your talking to a young child and ask them something along the lines of “Why did you?....What were you thinking?....”  trust me.  While they are looking at the floor they are thinking furiously and still give you the honest answer.  “I don’t know”.  They really don’t.  It’s just the way kids are. 

At any rate.  I decided that if God wasn’t going to come through for me I’d just pout and stay mad at him for LIFE!  That too is the way kids are. J

Tomorrow’s gripping, or griping installment continues depending on how you look at things.

Be well.
