Sunday Addendum:1

Possibly the most difficult aspect of this day is to force myself to go and listen to someone rant for an hour and a half on the misery of the world and its causitive effects. How if we, then we'd...etc. ad nauseum.
Once upon a time people believed that voices, like thunder, rolled from the heavens declaring this, or that thing, that men must do, in order to get along, and of course assuage the diety. For social order and individual peace of mind this is a pretty good concept. Rack an individual about his predilection toward nahs stay and conscience shaken and feverish with guilt that person might stop whatever nahs stay he/she was involved in and make their lives and the lives of the surrounding fauna mo betta. I am all for a world that is mo safe, mo peaceful. If conscience raking is the answer then rake on dude. But week after perennial week of the same onslaught has give me the rejectives. I reject taking that shower, shaving, puttin on cologne, and getting in the car to drive to the barn where the raking occurs. I know I suck. I value humor over moral integrity. In fact I feel like I have no moral integrity at all. Except when it comes to the extremes, ie. murder, rape, extortion,infidelity,beastiality,affiliation with the religious right.
Is it possible that some people DONT know right from wrong? If you watch FOX TV on saturday night, or follow the war in Iraq, you'd know that there are SOME people who cannot discern the one from the other. That is why we are not a Libertarian Society. We need cops. AND the Cops need cops. One mirror faces the other. Years ago the ruling priesthood decided to include the afterlife in the punishment for misdeeds in the here and now. And these days the punishments ARE in the here and now AND in the hereafter, according to some folks interpretation of ancient writ. God chastises those who he loves. He burns those who he hates. Now that chastisement never includes, sickness, maiming, poverty,or lost loved ones. THAT is the work of sin in the world. But I cant for the life of me find out WHAT those chastisements that he meets out are exactly.
God is the brain police. Of course he makes NO MISTAKES so he doesnt need policing himself (ummm even though we are made in his likeness, his image, his type) we gotta figure that He is the Ultimate Cop who is incorruptable. He even says so in his ancient writs. So he sends his ministers to nag us into being mo betta Sunday through saturday and if we heed the beckoning we will do good in this life AND be reWARDED in the afterlife. (like bonus pay)
Again, the old timers said "streets of gold, no death, no crying, no pain, bejeweled gates, constant chorus's of Holy Holy Holy and bowing and worshipping happy people forever praising his name." Jimi wont be jamming with Aristotole. NO ELECTRICITY! Bummer. If Leo Fender is there then he'd be lookin for good Maple. Ah
Ahhhhhhh dont touch that fruit Leo! Some folks got thrown out a while back for a bad attitude... you dont want to start a new trend do ya? Whatta mean no jig saws? Sheesh.
