Know God

Is to know

There is no God



If one knew

No God

No invisible man

Living in the sky

No masochistic sadist

Or sadistic masochist

Alleged creator of all

Known genocidal drowner

Of first batch of children

(AKA post natal abortions)

Maybe they should not have been

Left alone in a garden

With a talking serpent……Oopsie

Filicidal braggart

“For God so loved the world, that he sacrificed his only begotten Son”

John 3:16

AKA allowed him to be murdered

Because

“Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life. He taught His gospel and showed us the right way to live.”

Apparently, leading by example will get you killed.

Along my various routes

Hangs a big billboard

That suggests in all caps

“THERE IS EVIDENCE OF GOD”

With the corporate Christian logo

Shadowed on the bottom left

A Bible passage on the bottom right

Acts 1:3

Hmmmm…..opted to look that up.

I want to know what is claimed as proof.

Acts 1:3

“After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.”

– NIV

That is not proof of God, those are words on paper or digitally pixilated on a screen.

That is proof of a revised and rewritten reference book as a tool of mind manipulation.

The actual proof of God exists in the overall awareness of everything and nothing. From the subjective perception, starting with the eyes in their socket moving rapidly, watching the road and surrounding traffic, peripherally catching a message that distracts ones attention.

Transfers that visual, through a not so empty gap of invisible air, filled with radio waves, gamma rays, infrared and ultraviolet light plus cellular technology. Invert it into the cerebral cortex, reinvert it for cranial comprehension.

Instantly recognize it as a learned language, ponder its meaning and intention. All the while proceeding forth, utilizing the hands on the ends of the arms to maneuver the steering wheel. Manipulating the feet at the ends of the legs to control the speed.

Through a central nervous system that can not be duplicated, via a heart pumping life giving blood by a couple of expanding and contracting air sacs converting oxygen into carbon dioxide.

In a vehicle processing food for fuel. In a vehicle combusting fuel for speed. On a rock, spinning on a tilted axis, hurling through a vacuum of space without any accelerent. Warmed by a star nearly a billion miles away, illuminating a sign, not worth reading in the first place.

Trouble with that realization of God, is that there is no way to make money off it. If one can grasp, that everything is made up and held together by a God energy. Buying into a notion that there is an omnipotent invisible dude pulling puppet strings is a hard pill to swallow.


“Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do.

And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever ’til the end of time!.
 
But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He’s all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can’t handle money! “

– George Carlin



Without all those manly

Man-made distractions

(Billboards to sell you something

That is what billboards are for)

One could easily get in touch

With the infinite intelligence

The universal mind

Nature and the nature of existence

It is all energy and energy (Like God)

Cannot be created or destroyed

But that is a hard sell to suggest

There is no death of anything

Just transference of energy

From one form to another

In dimensions we can not see

Let alone comprehend or touch



Knowing the man-made man God

Abdicates the responsibility of free will

Putting the onus on “him” always or easily

That no matter (there is no matter)

How “good” or “bad” one behaves

At any given point in the course of a day

“He” can pull the rug out from underneath you

Or simply forgive you upon your request

For dastardly dirty deeds you may have done

“Pretty neat deal, huh? You know how we got it? We made the whole fucking thing up!

Aren’t we versatile?!”

– George Carlin


“We claim, you know, that [God] is us, and that’s probably the best way to get at it, okay?

Most of the major religions have said, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, love yourself,’ and then, without saying it, they meant,

‘Because basically, they’re the same guy!’ …

Even if you don’t tell the truck driver, right out, that he’s a flower and that he’s a tree and you’re him, you know he could believe it if someone else told him.”

– George Carlin

In all likelihood I am wrong, and am okay with that. For unlike the billboard ad, I have nothing to sell. That and nothing is provable anyway. If beliefs had proof, they would not be beliefs…..they’d be proofs.

“All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.

There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.”

– Bill Hicks

That is how I’ve come to know God

Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
