I AM GOD

A simple, seemingly arrogant, blasphemous statement. Yet while most religions categorize it as such it is exactly what they want you to believe. Many are taught that God is an omnipresent, omniscient being whose “noodly appendage” (at least for Pastafarians) has a hand in all things. So why then, am I not God? Are I not A part of God?

The reason this statement seems so offensive is that everyone thinks in terms of their own personal self and the personal selves of others as separate and totally different when in reality we all are, on some fundamental level, absolutely the same. The connections that we encounter on a daily basis seem so flimsy except in occasions of true friendship, and love and so we dismiss them often times as unimportant compared to a relationship to God. It is these earthly connections however that are the most important to developing a spirituality. Certainly a relationship to higher being sounds appealing but it is what we encounter in life that will truly define us as people.

The greatest mystery of all that people have been pondering since the beginning of conscious thought is “why are we here?” But perhaps the idea that our existence needs an explanation, or that there is an explanation, is a total fallacy. We’re here, we’re living, we don’t need the instruction manual to play the game.

And if we ever did figure it out than the game would be over. If we understood the secrets of this universe then this universe would be contained inside our heads and then where would we be?

In case you guys aren’t aware of some of the subtleties of the creation stories, I’m going to fill you in.

The first, better known, creation stroy is very straight forward and planned out. One day God creates day and night, another day he creates earth and sea and eventually he creates man and woman.

But in the second creation story, God gets experimental. He creates the land but then has to create Adam out of its dust because the land needed tiller. After man is created, God realizes that man will need a “helper”, a sexual helper that is. Like I said, God was feeling experimental and tests out Adam with all animals before finally creating Eve from a rib of Adam.

Sorry honey, aren’t sloppy seconds a bitch?

we program ourselves into our children. each generation is just creating new vessels for, and versions of, themselves. and the more creative* we are the more people there are. and the more destructive we are the less people there are. this is the way of things

*the word “creative” is used here in the literal form (as in to create) and should be stripped of all it’s positive connotations. the same applies to the word “destructive.”

It’s not mystical
It’s just statistical
