My God finds whiny, nagging human beings contemptible.

My God says that this world of ours is the best of all possible worlds (well, except for that universe next door) and things will happen (or not happen) for the best and the how and the why and the when is none of our goddam business.

Rabbis Hillel and Shammai had the correct idea when they said "that which you find hateful do not do it unto others" is superior to the warped Golden Rule which states "DO unto others as you would have them do unto you" for the simple reason that human cannot know what the ultimate good is or what truth is but they can know what evil is and know when they are lying.

So yes, I would like to be the first to say how warped, twisted and destructive is the monstrous American distortion of Protestant Reformation piety which GUARANTEES your eternal security of salvation (once saved, always saved) for mumbling some doctrinal lip service.

Your Jesus tells you to pray in private in your "closet" and what the Father sees in private he will reward but those pharisees who pray on the street corner already have their reward.  Jesus said that the birds do not sow, neither do they reap (and NEITHER do they pray I suspect) but their heavenly Father provides for their needs. Furthermore, Jesus says that your Father already knows your needs.  Jesus condemned very few things but divorce was one of them (except on the grounds of adultery) and Jesus did not mention the option of remarriage.

So, everyone, why don't you pay some attention to what Jesus said for a change?

I would say that intelligent people make their thoughts every prayerful even it should be the case that no God exists to hear them and ESPECIALLY if there is no God since if there is no God then humans are the closest thing there is to God and we had damn well better be Godly in thought, word and deed.
