Pondering The Nature Of God

They had a speecher up in church today that threw out an absolutely spectacular show on defending the relevance and scientific credibility of the bible that essentially rehashed the old believers vs non-believers arguments. I.e. the holes in evolutionary theory, the logical fallacies and inconsistencies required for the atheist mindset, etc. nothing really new there, I have seen much of it before. These things always seem to devolve into basically “what is the source of your info” and “how do you reconcile these obvious inconsistencies and contradictions in your viewpoint?” For me…I am no longer a believer. I am not the kind of man that believes things with no justification. I KNOW things. I know there is a God; I’ve seen His work, and a few times I have seen His hand in motion. And I can feel His presence. It has not always been so. I had to reset the way I thought and perceived things before I could upset all my previous atheist mindsets to do that. The difficulty is that the human animal - even the shitlibs - do fairly well in situations where there are clearly right and wrong (or good and evil). Both sides start going straight to hell when the situations involve two ‘right’ options. The difference is that Christians can usually ‘catch themselves’ before they plummet in flames, whereas shitlibs can’t. Now those silly cretins are mainstreaming pedophilia, murder, and genocide. But…I have no interests in arguing with anyone about it. Shitlibs can’t even argue on a scientific basis about anything anymore, and they will have to sort themselves out. I no longer care what they believe or disbelieve, if they don’t make sense - I will disregard them and won’t let them impose their twaddle on me. I have started asking myself more sensible questions (in my own opinion). 

Like…does God have a sense of humour? He almost must, based on the stuff I am seeing these days. How would He define it? 

I laughed like hell at this. I was going to poast it in my periodic idiotic rude joke poasts…but it gave me pause when I slowed down and thought about it. Sons have always pranked their fathers and vice versa… but things get real dicey when sons over-step, and verge on mockery and contempt. (Ask me how I know this). What would our Maker make of stuff like this? Some devout Christians would say I am straying away from righteousness by even contemplating this or asking the question. From my uninformed spot on this earth, it’s rather witty, gentle mockery of us both. If we are created in God’s image, I’d say he might get a rude smirk or chuckle out of it too. Where does He draw the line on stuff like this? The answers that come back are all over the board. Some pious scolds will tell me to shut it and behave myself. I’d retort that we need to know the mind of our Maker in order to stay closer to Him and his intentions. 

But… my mind wobbles as much as everyone else’s. I’ve been roasted many times by ordinary people for my ignoramia and offended some beyond their limits with stuff like this. Is humour like this actually sinful? 

It’s a dangerous line to tread, especially when your Maker’s sense of humour can be absolutely lethal. Sometimes small things like this turn into mighty complicated topics on second thought.

I hope you Yanks were able to get to church today, and that you’re finally warming up down there. My new year was off to a fantastic start, and I hope yours is too.

Cheers!
