As the late George Carlin said:<BR/><BR/><I>The Primate brain says, "Give peace a chance". The Mammalian Brain says, "Give peace a chance, but first, let's kill this motherfucker". The Reptilian brain says, "Kill the motherfucker, go to the peace rally and get laid."</I>zilchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01695741977946935771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-47611689652447900902008-10-17T06:34:00.000-04:002008-10-17T06:34:00.000-04:00This reminds me of my Christian days. I have alway...This reminds me of my Christian days. I have always been *good hearted* believing in forgiveness and understanding as characteristics of myself and my god. When i had "reconverted" and started taking the kids to church and trying to study up on the bible with them, i had this idea, a remeberence of how i enjoyed the Psalms once upon a time.<BR/><BR/>I started to read them to the Kids. See I had a little book with the psalms and proverbs measured out over a 30 day period. So i began.<BR/><BR/>Before the 5th Psalm I could not in good conscious instruct my children this way. I hated the sound of my voice ipso facto praying for god to kill, destroy, and otherwise give the bad guys heck but spare myself mercifully.<BR/><BR/>Those prayers of David go against everything decent i tried to teach my kids when i show them how to be considerate, and wise and rulers over their anger and hate.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, while i ponder theses things, i realize, the character depicted in those scripture is the very picture of what we would otherwise call a devil.<BR/><BR/>I think a Bible verse.... "Does a stream pour out both sweet water and bitter water?" <BR/> <BR/>Unlike the thoughts of the composer, i cannot say 'it is ok, this god is not nice he is sometimes less than love, but ill hold on to him anyway'.<BR/><BR/> I choose instead to find him counter intuitive, and keep looking for truth and love that work.Insanezenmistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18188433016350019722noreply@blogger.com
